Monthly Update: Backup Edition

It's the end of the month again, so it's time for a monthly update! As I mentioned in the last update, I have some big changes going on! New home, new job and all that stuff. The promised 0.4 release will hopefully happen very soon, but as a final insult my computer's data hard disk died or was damaged during the move and I'm currently slowly restoring everything important from backups. Most of the data should be safe in source control and backups, so hopefully nothing too major is missing. I even had FedEx send me a hard disk restore from Backblaze, where I have most of the 3d-related data as my internet connection is way too slow to download terabytes of data at the moment. It looks like most of the stuff is OK, except for some older 3d-scenes that are probably gone forever. Fortunately, that doesn't matter unless I want to do a lot of re-renders as the final .jpg files are safe.

New update in a few days once I have managed to wrestle everything in order!

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 copy and paste 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.
