Hi everybody.

Hope life is treating you all well. Here's a summary of our work from last week:

Chestnut:

She tested the intro and the first quest of the update that I had completed (her reaction: "Damn, we're making a movie!") and suggested improvements (for both art and posing). Additionally, she finished all of the cutscenes, sprite additions, and backgrounds we had already planned. Please bear in mind that she still has a lot of edits and changes since some of the artworks required more tasks than she had thought they would take and need extra variations, and there are changes and additions I have made to the story while writing, posing, and making the content feel more cinematic. Lastly, she has started drawing the hidden photos (Anne's, so far), and they will keep her busy through the weekend.

Pistachio:

Adding new cutscenes to the game and editing and improving the already completed part of the game took up most of my time. I'm nowhere near done, but getting there and really happy with the parts we can call finished. I think it will be a cool update, very magic-heavy and all, and I hope you will like it and consider the wait worth it.

What's next:

Finishing the second quest this week is my number one priority. Once done, I'll prepare it for Chestnut to test the quest and give me feedback. For her part, she intends to finish the hidden photos and start the editing work, so you can expect more edit tasks added to the progress tracker. These final stages are incredibly important as they make the difference between a release that feels polished and an incomplete one, so we're not really focusing on a release date and just doing everything we can to have it ready as soon as possible.

That's all.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers
