Monthly Update: Waiting for Godot

Another month passes by, which means it's time for the traditional monthly update! As mentioned in the previous post, I have been slightly sidetracked and some of my free time has been spent in contributing to the open-source Godot game engine as it approaches its 4.0 release. Fortunately, I managed to get most of my contributions in before the deadline and some of the leftovers will hopefully be in the next releases.

As Godot Engine will do its final 4.0 release very soon (maybe even this week), I can fully focus on other tasks again. And by other tasks, I naturally mean Offcuts release 0.4. The only remaining tasks are mostly some script checking and investigating a few minor issues with the latest Ren'Py version. After that, it's mostly just finding a good spot and some courage to push out that 0.4 release. It has been a while, so I need to double-check if my build and resource pipeline is still even working. At least the Android builds might need some extra work.

And as always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then).

The rest of the post is mostly copied from my previous updates for those who are new or want to be reminded of what will be coming next. See you in the next post, thanks for your support and patience!

So, TL;DR:

* Next release 0.4 will have Alice's full storyline.

* Some new tech in 0.4: interactive 3D and pre-rendered movies, at least a few of each. When I get the pipeline (and my skills) working smoothly, next releases should have more.

* After 0.4 I will try out a bit faster release schedule with partial updates instead of releasing large, complete routes that take ages to finish. We'll see how it goes.

* Steam release at some point after 0.4 is out. Steam has been pretty random with adult games, so who knows what can happen.
