085 - Business as usual. (Patreon)

Hello, fellow gamers. How is it going? All is well I hope? I honestly have nothing of substance to share this week, so this will be a proof of life post. To be completely honest, since I have nothing to share I really don't feel like writing this one. But a man's got to do what a man's got to do. Plus that's the whole point of the proof-of-life posts, right? To let people know that you are still around :) 

Astral Chain.  36 hours it took me to beat the game. Man, what a journey that was. Japanese games tend to often overstay their welcome with me at times in the sense of length. Final hours become a chore sometimes. But Astral Chain flew by in a flash. And now I am sad it is over. But at the same time I am looking forward to getting back to romancing my students at FE: Three Houses. Also Dragon Quest XI is dropping soon. What a time to be alive and be a weebo ^_^

Borderlands 3. Played a lot of that one over the weekend with my buddy Smersh. He is a HUGE fan of the franchise and I was just there to shoot thing and revive him. Perfectly mindless fun game to share with a friend. I bought the cheapest version and this will, most likely, be the last game I bought from Sony. Real weebs... I mean, real gamers must all move on to Nintendo - our last bastion of hope.

The Big Freaking Achievement! Over the weekend I finally reached 8000 followers on a website that shall not be named! Take this, everyone who thought I will never amount to anything! So many followers on a social media means that I am special, right? I knew my Mom was right! Heh... Anyway, jokes aside, thank you for the support bros. Go check out the pic I drew for you :)

The work. It's been 12 weeks since Episode 07 was released for the patrons. (Minus to weeks I spent on my vacation and we have 10 weeks spent on developing episode 8 so far). Wait, 12 weeks means 3 months??! God, this depressing... Why do I keep doing this to myself? Episode 08 is taking me longer to develop for a reason, but still, I really dislike this 3 months+ development cycles... 

The Work 02. Over the week I finished putting together all of the scenes. That being said I still need to write and put together an episode introductory event, and the episode 09 preview event... So that will take some time as well... After that I will work on the sound and some additional coding since Episode 08 will have a different structure from all the previous ones...

The Teaser. Here you go. Like I said so many times already, there will be 3 endings in episode 08. Sweet Endings you will need to work for (lean towards one of the girls with majority of your choices) and the normal ending will be accessible by default. Jasmine's ending will unlock new outfit for her and the ending CG. Same for Ashelin. And normal ending will unlock everything else. To complete the episode you will need to beat it only once. But the way I am structuring this one you will be able to replay it several times if you feel like it :)

The Work 03. I don't know how much longer it will take me to get Epsidoe 08 ready for the release. But as usual - I won't release it until it's ready. Thank you for your understanding, bros. But on a side-note, I will do my best to make sure next episode is smaller in volume so that I could release it much sooner. This is for my own sake to be honest. Shorter episodes are much easier to work on -_-

The gif. OK, I somehow managed to write at least something. This should do for this week's Monday Post. Thank you for your support, guys. Honestly... OTL...
