[1.19] Nearly there...

Hey guys! I desperately wanted to release by today, but it's still not quite done. Sorry.

I put in about 80 more hours last week, and was able to achieve the following:

Reworked the ending scenes so they flow better
Coded in the new episode art
Punched up several scenes and made them way better

I need more time punching up. Like I wrote in the Discord yesterday:

I feel like I've had kind of a breakthrough? I just realised it a moment ago, when I was picturing a 'difficult' scene I need to write in the next episode (I'm weaving in some foreshadowing/setup for it now, so it works better in the next ep).

Normally I kind of dread writing the difficult scenes. But I realised that I'm actually really excited about getting started on it now. And that's what I've been doing in this round of edits – really digging into all the tricky fucking scenes, trying to work out what makes them sexy and interesting and doing my best to drag that out into the narrative.

Everything I'm touching is turning to hotness. I've got a very clear idea of what I need to do with the remaining scenes, I just need a few more 11-hour writing sessions to make it happen.

On Discord, whydoineedthis22 asked if it'd be possible for me to release a pre-edited version alongside the final version, so you guys can compare the difference? I think this is a good idea and I'll aim to make it happen after the release. (Obviously, my hope is that you guys will totally agree that it was time well spent, but maybe I am over-editing? If so, I'll take that feedback.)

Okay, again sincere apologies that this wasn't the release announcement. I obviously would have preferred to get this episode out by now. It will be Soon™.
