Disappointing news (Patreon)

Hey guys,
This is a 'public announcement' to warn you that we won't be able to release a new update next April.
I've encountered a big obstacle which is that Spine is not exporting animations in my laptop. This is kind of "funny" because my main worry with using it on my trip was that Unity worked properly (which it does), but not Spine not being able to export anything.
That means I can't even adjust old animations to adapt to slightly changed events, like the very much desired Cenvir's c*m in mouth and "creamy" happy endings...
I'd need to use strictly identical animations already used with Vanlen for the first case and, frankly speaking, I don't think they'd work well with Cenvir's personality at all.
And well, that's the tip of the iceberg, really...
My trip to the Phils started out quite shakily, emotionally speaking. I know I shouldn't air this kind of personal things here in this public media outlet, but yeah, it sucked so royally... I got really depressed and couldn't do anything right and much less at the same performance I did back home.
And I was on a tight schedule already, considering I spent a week to get ready for the trip, so yeah, now with this latest issue of not being able to export animations... I don't have any other option than being honest and tell you people in advance.
At least, now that we changed release dates to the start of every month, instead of the end, we feel more or less at ease at knowing you can choose to suspend your pledges for April and return when you feel like it.
That said, and please don't think this is a desperate attempt at not losing patrons, we are not stopping work on other aspects of the project. My plans are to write the dialogues of the scenes I can't implement yet due to the exporting issue, and I'll also fill up the Wiki with current information, which has been neglected for too much time.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure Kuja will continue working his ass off, as he always does, as my technical issues doesn't affect him.
So, in short, 0.8 gets delayed for the time being. I hope to get it ready for May, but keep in mind I'll still have the aforementioned problem during April because my trip actually ends in May, so if it releases that time, its new content will be based on old animations.
At any rate, I'll inform you people of new developments so you could make informed decisions about your support.
Thank you, people.
