The update is almost done. Like I said, I'm going to break the chapter into several parts this time to release updates more frequently, and the first of those updates is almost complete. I had planned to release it this week, but due to the editor's schedule I had to delay it a bit. She has the text in her work now, and she'll get it back to me edited on Monday. That leaves me to write the code, add the music, and do a beta test. Since the update is short, I don't think it will take long. Most likely by next weekend, version 2.3 will be available for Patrons.
In other news, I've updated the payment system on Patreon. The payment cycle will no longer be from the first month, but from the date you subscribe. Nothing changes for old subscribers, but for new subscribers it will be more convenient in that if they subscribe in the middle of the month, they won't have to pay again at the beginning of the next month.
I also saw that there were problems with video slowdowns for some users running the 2k version. Unfortunately, the problem is on the engine side, there is an increased load on the processor, several times more than in the external player. I reduced the bitrate of the video, in my opinion the difference in quality is not noticeable, but the weight has decreased several times, and therefore the load on the computer. And most likely I will have to update Ren'py version, in the new one the problem with video is solved. I really do not want to, because it may cause additional bugs and problems with saves, but most likely will have to, because the problems with playing animations is quite serious.
