Missy! We've gotta go back... to the future!

Hello everyone!

After the challenges of the last week or so, I'm finally getting down to some work again.  Everything is set back up and running quickly and smoothly.  I'm hoping that work on C4 can be wrapped up fairly quickly now.  Over the weekend, I've also been getting more coding work done, and I've made a start on the timeskip utility, which I'll now touch briefly on.

Many of you will have started playthroughs on the Beta test versions that you may be hoping to continue.  This is possible, but not recommended, as you may have saved a playthrough which was then doomed by one of the game breaking bugs that was subsequently discovered.  So to give you the option to continue on a clean save, without having to start again, you will be able to use the Timeskip Utility™

At the start of your game, you will encounter this cute little lady in Missy's room.  She will explain herself then ask you a series of questions.  You can start at any point in the main storyline, up to and including the start of Chapter 4, and can also choose to skip the relationship quests for Abbie and Lola, Queen of the Ring and Poppy's story.  In the cases of quests that involved choices, you will simply be asked what choices you made/wish to make.

I'll add a reminder nearer the time, but it'll be worth noting that to start Chapter 4, you also need to have progressed Abbie's relationship quest to at least the point where you have bought her the underwear and Queen of the Ring and part 1 of Poppy's story must be either finished or not started yet.

I know many of you won't bother with the timeskip utility and will simply wish to start a fresh playthrough, but for those of you who just want to get straight to the day from hell, this will prove an invaluable tool.

I have a couple of previews saved up, and you've all waited long enough while I was sorting out my technical problems, so let's look at a couple more of the juicy renders you'll find in 0.5!

Looks like Missy isn't going to be the only one getting in trouble in Chapter 4.  Wonder what Abbie has done?  She's not as naked as our girl though, so it's probably not as bad.  It's also never a good thing when a Sapphorian high school teacher points at her desk, as it usually only means one thing...

Oh-oh.  Being in the punishment outfit is one thing, but being in it while surrounded by bad girls out of sight at the back of the school?  This isn't going to end well.

Hopefully a few more previews will be ready to show on Friday.  Lastly for today, I ran a poll a couple of weeks back regarding people's Discord usage.  As I suspected, it revealed a significant enough number (20%) unable or unwilling to receive content this way, so that matter is closed and won't be pursued further.

See you Wednesday for the public update!
