Update - Mika needs a seat!

tl;dr - I've been working on the Mika scenes but I'm still not sure what the next release will be.

This week's images

Mika needs a place to put that thing, so she's waiting to find out if she has any offers. Hirai's offered his lap - will Shuji offer his and risk making the other ladies jealous? Well, if you check the second picture you'll see he can, of course. ;)

I think these turned out pretty well. They're in 4K of course, so click on them to get the full quality. Let me know what you think of these! 

Incidentally, I had a load of unusual graphical errors in rendering this scene, so if you've noticed those, that's the reason why. I don't think it's a big deal, so I'm not too worried, but it lengthened rendering time a lot.

Still deciding what the next release will be

So I have several pieces of work done, but I don't know yet what I'm going to feel inspired to finish in time for the next update. I'd ideally like to make the Mika introduction the next release, and for that I've got a few scenes either mostly done or partially done. In order to get that release ready I've just got to focus for a while on it specifically, but those creative juices don't always flow where you want them to.

This image is from one of Mika's upcoming scenes - I just liked how it turned out (in particular how Mika looks in it) so I threw it in as a bonus. Believe it or not I spent most of the work time on this just making the crappy label on the box she's opening.

I've got her intro stuff pretty much done and her chat scenes 1 & 2 are written and illustrated; her flashbacks 1 & 2 are only partially done, but I have a decent amount done. In fact, if it weren't for the first flashback (which is a bit incomplete) I'd be confident I'd have that one out for the next month.

The other option I've got lined up is the stores and sex toys, as I've mentioned. I've got an interactive Nobuko sex scene involving one of those items all ready to go, as well as a small Emi item, but in order to wrap that up I'd want to finish off one of the Shizu items and would have to actually build the shop interface.

The third option, which is what I'll do if I can't finish either of those two in time, is to just release the next version with the Hirai/Emi/Shuji sex scene and the other bonus elements that I planned for the December release. It's not ideal, because I'd like to have that release still banked to buy me more time, but if I'm not finished something new then that's what I'll have to go with. I think it's a good release, mind you (SilkyMilk has already provided voice acting for it and I think the images are pretty nice) but I just want to get in the habit of having my work schedule more planned out.

What do you think of the images? Is Mika doing anything for you? ;) Also, I know I more or less asked this before but which release would you like to see next out of the three I listed above? Let me know in the comments!
