News and updates

This month has been a busy one, so here are some of the more important points:

* Discord open! Too see how to access it, here is a link to the Patreon help page. Let me know here if you have any problems, I don't have that much experience with it. And try not to troll too much so I don't have to use the banhammer!

* Due to tax reasons (and to play it safe) I will temporarily suspend my Patron for a few days at the end of this month. I'll do this until I receive a confirmation from my country's tax administration. Bureaucracy can be hellish in here. In short, this month (July) should not be billed from anyone. And if the tax department is slow enough (it's summer vacation time in here) next month might be free too. And if things get too complex I might just keep doing this without Patreon, this is more like a fun hobby to me anyway. So don't worry if my Patreon page goes to suspended mode for a few days. I will still be working with this game as usual.

* The writing turned out to be a bit longer than I thought, currently it's about 20 000 words to finish Ninan's route and 60 000 words to complete Melissa's. And of course dozens of new images. We can talk more on Discord and see what people would like to see more in the future: more adult action or story.

* Nina route release date estimate: 6.8.2018 (for 10$ tier, three days later to everyone else)

* Melissa route release date estimate: 15.8.2016 (for 10$ tier, three days later to everyone else)

* Vote for 5$ tier or above about what route should be done next.

* Blender 2.8: EEVEE real-time rendering engine for much faster renders and animations. Currently this version of Blender is in alpha and it's very buggy, but once it stabilizes this will make rendering images and animations a lot faster. Quality might not be equal to more time-consuming methods, but it can still be good enough for my purposes. I'll be posting images for comparison once I manage to tweak the system to match my content pipeline.

* A huge backlog of images currently in the pipeline. Do people like (almost) daily image posts to Patron or is it too "spammy"?
