Still dealing with a power outage + scuffed release plans + needing to unpause pledges

Hello everybody, I hope you're all doing well.

My power is currently still out which makes for the 4th day in a row but it will hopefully be up soon. (Hopeful for later today)

Just wanted to let you guys know that there will be an update today but it will not be a finished product. Hence the scuffedness.
My power went out in the middle of me changing some stuff near the end of the Daliah scene and I obviously haven't been able to render anything since so the scene remains unfinished currently.

I normally wouldn't do this especially after everything that happened dev wise around this scene but after all of this I'm so frustrated to where I just have to let shit go. I have a family member who just last night had his power restored and im going to travel a ways to upload up to this point. Sadly, I am not able to render anything there.
So the update that will be out tonight will have two finished scenes and 80% of the Daliah scene for a total of i believe to be around 770 renders and 17 animations
My goal is to have this out tonight around 9-11pm et.

As soon as my power is restored I will have the remaining bit of the Daliah scene out asap as well as everything up to the Jasmine scene. (The Jasmine scene is what i was supposed to be working on altering these past 4 days.)

Pledges have been paused since August 10th and with the current circumstances I am unable to continue to pause pledges but i will not be unpausing until this unfinished bit is out.. The hurricane really messed up everything I had going on.
As stated before. All former patrons will receive all content that is released for the remainder of the year.
So anyone who is uncomfortable with continuing support at the moment (which is more than understandable. I am so sorry for the shit show things have been.) You can cancel your pledges without fear of losing access to the updates as long as you're in the discord before doing so.

I had a similar plan going before the hurricane toppled everything but I am not unpausing without conditions.
I have no control over when my power is restored but the day of (or after if it's late) my power is restored. I will be releasing the rest of the Daliah scene and up to the start of the Jasmine scene.

From that point, pledges will be paused if more than 4 days pass before the Jasmine scene and the short flight home is released.

From there it is the original plan of part 3 being out within 7 days of the end of E13

And part 4 being out within 7 days of part 3.

If a time frame is missed, pledges will then only be unpaused after the next planned release is out.



Shit is fucked, I am frustrated as hell. This specific issue has been out of my control but all of the ones before weren't. I'm trying to keep my head on straight and just move forward right now.

I'm sorry for the fact I'm going to be putting out something unfinished but it's what is ready right now and I just have to start getting this shit out. I will have everything else out as fast as I possibly can.


Thanks again for all of the support and kind words over this shitty patch. It means the world to me.
I'll talk to y'all soon. Take care.
