Progress

I was going to focus 100% on scripting this week, but I was able to do renders instead. I finished Sea's scene, and that's the last of the lewd ones. There's still one major animation scene, but I'm holding that off until the very end, as it can be rendered through testing when I get to that point.

There are still quite a few scenes to do otherwise, but I'm attacking them one by one, and there's constant progress. Now this girl is up, and... you're blocking her sun.

IMPORTANT Patreon changes for IOS users

Starting in November, the Apple Store will enforce their "30% provision" on any new subscription to Patreon via the app store. That means if you want to subscribe to any of my tiers (or any other Patreon creator) via the Patreon IOS app after November, all tier prices will be 30% more expensive.

This change will not affect you if you subscribe through 'normal' means via the Patreon homepage.

I suspect I have very few patrons via the iOS Patreon app, but I decided to give you a heads-up just in case. If you, for some reason, have a phone subscription paid for by your employer, this could be a viable replacement for signing up directly from the homepage. Otherwise, I'd keep using the homepage as usual to manage your subscription(s).

If you have any specific questions about this, feel free to drop them in the comments, and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

IMPORTANT Patreon changes for all users

As a part of this change, Patreon will also move all its creators over to a monthly subscription, instead of the old 'first-of-the-month' model. This isn't a change for any of you supporting me, as I changed to that model several years ago when it was implemented, but most of your other Patreon creators have not changed yet - in case you're supporting others than me as well.

Have a nice weekend, stay safe out there, and you might want to keep an eye on the final chapter of Chasing Sunsets, to be released one of the immediate days. Who knows, maybe you'll see someone familiar in there. :)

Good question. Existing members will keep their price, but new signups in the iOS app after this change hits in November will get the new Apple store addition (price example: a $10 tier will be $14.50—and don't ask me how that's 30%. It's the example Patreon has used). :).

Drifty

So if we joined originally through the app will that be impacted or is this for new subscriptions moving forward? If the former, do we "unsubscribe" here or on the app and then I assume "resubscribe" on PC?

Oooh, love me some Celeste! :] CS finale should be exciting - even more so with a nice LoF/u4ia cameo. Thanks for the update as always, Drifty. Take care!

Teasing an appearance in Chasing Sunsets?! Cannot wait!

George Peters

Thank you for the update. Can't wait. :) Don't forget that Chasing still has a Chapter 10 after that, but they described it as an epilogue to show the result of your choices. Have a good weekend.

I've been smitten with Jaye since seeing her in LoF. Exciting news.

Sorry I'm late to the party this time... I had to give that Celeste sneak peek a very close inspection... :) Oh... Now I have one more reason to play that CS update... I have to say I'm looking forward to it.

Of course Patreon is changing the subsription model. With the old monthly model, the user could easily see his costs for Patreon once a month. Now, the costs are disguised by braking them into several micro payments. Also there is not good time to look over ones memberships as it was before at the end of the month. Last but not least, Patreon "opimised" the memb ership overview in order to make it even harder to overlook ones memberships and cancel them. But thanks for talking about it!

I'll definitely check it out then, thanks :)

Blood Of A Hero

Highly recommend Chasing Sunsets. While main story might not be for everyone, the characters, the visuals and the general vibe are great. Plus you've ever dreamt of becoming billionaire the game has it

Tarakis

Thank you for the update Drifty :) Always excited to see the sneak peeks! I have purchased Chasing Sunsets on Steam but never had the chance to play it yet. But now that you mention that, I will start my first playthrough when the final chapter releases! I hope development continues to go well and please have a great weekend Drifty :) :)
