December News Update (Patrons)

Hey again and a happy new year, time for a belated December news update.

With the, rather big, "Diplomacy" version 0.13 out now, it's time for a little look ahead. January will be all about "Private Eyes & Secret Desires", with version 0.13 of that story expected later this month. Expect a news post in 2-3 weeks with more details. All I can say about that, right now, is, that our two main characters will have to work seperate cases, which brings new potential for conflict and corruption.

Now, as briefly mentioned above (and more detailed, in the release post), "Diplomacy" had an unusual big update, not only this time around, but also the last time, I updated it. 400+ render updates take considerable more time, than my usual updates do, considering my current limitations, as a part-time developer with an underpowered rig. This meant, that "Diplomacy" got somewhat more time invested in it, over the last 4 months, than "Private Eyes" did.

Taking that into account, I'll soon post a poll for each tier, which, once again, will let you vote on project priority. This time around, you'll have the options, to either keep the current development rythm, without change (meaning, January will get a "Private Eyes" release, February a "Diplomacy" one, March another "Private Eyes" one and so on.), or, opt for a double "Private Eyes" release, meaning: January will get "Private Eyes" version 0.13, while February will get "Private Eyes" version 0.14, with the next "Diplomacy" update having to wait till March.

Speaking of polls, these were the results for the December bonus content poll:

Special Entertainment: 36 + 21 + 4 + 0 = 61

Fun for Three: 36 + 0 + 16 + 6 = 58

"Special Entertainment" won, with a photo finish. Expect the post to get uploaded soon.

That's all, for now. As always, feeback is appreciated. See you next time.

Preview (not much there yet, but have one of the earliest renders for the new update):
