2/12/2025 Progress Update: Financial Strain but Steady Progress!

Hello, Meerkats!

I hate to do this, but it's amaty e-begging hours. Some unexpected personal issues involving my family have come up, and I'm going to have to take on a massive financial burden to make sure we stay afloat. I won't lie, things are looking pretty rough, and we're trying to hold on until May. Until then though, money will be tight.

I know this Patreon has been doing well, and I'm beyond grateful for all the support so far. However, any donations would be massively helpful. If you've ever considered contributing a few extra dollars, now would be the perfect time. Every bit counts, and it would mean the world to me.

I'm going to keep commissioning as much art as I can. I know you all love to see the project grow and the game's visual appeal is part of why it's been doing so well. But things might slow down a bit since I need to prioritize taking care of the people I care about. I'll do my best to balance everything, but making sure my family and I can get through this comes first. I hope you all understand!

The Patreon for consistent subscriptions is here and my Ko-fi for one-time donations is here.

That said, let's get to what you all really want: game and art updates!

I want to update you all on the game's progress. I've written 10.8k words in the last week, which is a little less than average. However, I'm confident I can get the update out before February ends. I'm not sure exactly when the update will be out, but it will be before the month is over. I wanted to give myself more than the usual two weeks, which is why I released the last update ahead of schedule. I will give you all a better estimate in the next progress update.

As for art, we have a lot! Let's begin with the chest sizes update. There will be four more chest sizes that will be rolled out over the next few updates. They will be fully optional, and you'll have to ask a certain character for more chest transformation options. Here's the current progress and the sizes.

Two additional outfits are coming to the paperdoll as well! We're getting one outfit that won't be featured in the game for a while, which is an outfit that is similar in color to the trans flag. The other one is the Pacific Crest gym kit!

We've also got new Patreon tier banners! We have Ethan in traditional Korean attire. Look at the precious Ethan and smile!

The Samantha CG is coming along swimmingly. It's almost done and will be implemented into the game starting from 0.19 or 0.20. From there, the next 3 CGs will be for the male romance options.

I've also brought a secondary CG artist on board! They just started a few days ago but already finished the line art for another CG featuring Jessica. This CG will be for the scene in the cheerleading update if you decide to follow Jessica outside the diner on day 11.

Finally, you may have already seen this, but there will be an additional banner! So we will have two banners for this game in total. This banner isn't done yet, but it's very close to being complete. Here's the current progress.

Also, a new adult scene is coming soon! I'm basically just waiting for the artist to finish it up. She's the same artist who did the first adult scene, and it's coming along great. I can't give many details, since Patreon doesn't allow adult content on public-facing posts, but I can give an Imgur link to the current progress here.

Just to reassure everyone, this game doesn't utilize AI-generated imagery/AI art whatsoever other than a few backgrounds that are getting replaced ASAP. I keep on getting people saying this game uses AI art, and frankly, it's not only tiring but also disrespectful to both the artists and me.

Anyway, that's about it! Thank you all so much for your continued support and I hope you all enjoy the next update when it comes.

Much love,

amaty
