Crimson High v0.40 - Dev Log #1

G'day my beloved patron slash supporter!

I hope you had a not-too-annoying time over the holidays and a great start into the new year - because I certainly did. I've taken a couple weeks off over the holidays, to recuperate from the year and to recharge my batteries for the things ahead of us in 2025, but by now I'm already back at it and a good way into the development of v0.40 (as you can see below).

And speaking of the update, it's a doozy! Ren gets a visit from the local tinkerer, including some quality time (if you know what I mean), should you choose to partake in it. There also may or may not be a long-awaited explanation of some things included in the update. And last but not least, we'll watch Ren acquire a new toy or two.
Either way, I'm sure you'll like it, because I certainly do, and I'm obviously a paragon of good taste, so yeah.

Anyway! Fun times ahead, so stay tuned!
How long do you have to keep your tuning up, you ask? Well, not too long. The update will be out either by this weekend, or early next week (Tuesday?), depending on how many distractions present themselves to me until then. I'm aiming for the coming weekend, though, and as usual, I'll make a release schedule post on Patreon as soon as I can give a definite date.

As for the update's estimated changelog:
Estimated changelog for v0.40.0:
- 12,600 words
- 197 renders
- 2 animations
- 2 Space Hamsters
- Perrine

In the last dev log, I talked about a discount for the new tiers. Well, due to some internal issues (Patreon being a bit bugged for me for a few weeks), I couldn't quite get that on the road the way I wanted to. Last time I checked, the issue wasn't a thing anymore, though, so I plan to add the discount this time around. It's likely going to be two different discounts: one for monthly subscriptions on a few select tiers, and one for annual subscriptions on a few other tiers. I'll have to sit down and actually work out the details again once the update is done. More to that in the post regarding the discount in a few days, though!

------------------------------------------------------------

And that's pretty much it for this month's Dev Log again. As usual, chuck your comments/feedback into the comment section below, or onto the Discord. Also, if there's anything you want me to add to future Dev Logs, toss that in there, too. I feel like there's potential for growth here, but I honestly don't know what else I could add - so if you have any ideas for things that could be worthwhile additions.. let me know.

Next post I'll make on here will be the release schedule in X (placeholder, not Roman numeral) days.

Until then, and with my utmost appreciation for all your support, my beloved patron, I bid you farewell.

Cheers!
