After The Update Is Before The Update

Good afternoon,

the week is again close to it's end and so time to sum up what I manged to get done over the past days.

The week began very stressfully. I was very unhappy last Friday that the 0.5.8.6 update wasn't ready yet and wanted to change that as soon as possible. So some crunch was necessary to finally ease my mind. Despite everything, I didn't finish on Monday either, because some processes just didn't want to work (calculation of revenue, progression of tax revenue) and so it took me the whole of Tuesday until everything was running reasonably smoothly and I decided to release the test version. Thanks to numerous reports (special thanks to marniakeur and deathslice246) I was able to fix a lot of problems on Wednesday and partly also yesterday and upload a fixed version.

I know that the current version now has a bit of a cliffhanger and of course I don't want it to keep it that way. That's why I definitely want to add more content for the Coldstone estate (not least because the necessary maps are already finished). But I don't want to sugarcoat it either, that will mean a lot more work, since I plan to add content for Lilly and also some for Elisabeth. But hopefully when it's done we get to a good endpoint that will satisfy everyone (including myself) until Penny's marriage/pregnancy update.

Nevertheless, before I continue, I would like to insert Ophilia's bonus scene. There are 2 reasons for this: Firstly, I already worked on the scene back in June. As I mentioned then, I've been working through the weekends and have already finished a few animations. Secondly, I don't think I've ever had such a long break between bonus scenes as I do now. Of course, this is also due to my vacation in July, but it still feels bad. Even during Mira's monastery update I squeezed in the Bonus scene for Penny's confession so now I plan to do the same for Ophilia.
I'm also positiv that this won't take too long because of the work that I already did for the scene.
So it should be done within the coming week.

After that I will continue with the Coldstone estate and hopefully finish everything about the 0.5.9.0 update by the end of the month.

So much for the update, I'll now continue working on some images.
I wish you all a nice weekend!
