Monthly Update: Beach Cat Edition

It's the end of the month once again, which means another monthly update! Like the last update, this will be a short one. The only thing left is grinding the final parts of 0.4. I'll probably put out another quick test release at some point during March and if nothing major comes up, the actual release should be pretty soon after that. March 22 to 28 might be a good guess for the test release. The new Ren'Py released last month was the biggest update in a long time and ships with a completely new visual renderer that I need to test out some more to work out some (hopefully minor) issues. The new Ren'Py also makes it possible to create web releases playable directly in a browser, although with some limitations. And, of course, I'll keep posting more Patreon content as we approach the release.

Like before, 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!

So, TL;DR:

* 0.4 will have Alice's 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.

* Test release done, maybe another one at some point before the real release, testing animations, 3D etc.

* 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.
