Hey! Alas, it is not Friday, but you're still getting a dev update regardless.
Our live stream was a success, with many of you dialling in to watch me code. Lots of viewer input resulted in some minor changes to the dialogue. I love asking, "How would you react in this situation?" during the stream and implementing your responses!
Despite the many, many, MANY challenges, I've been making progress.

Psssst! Hey, you! It's Friday!
That means devlogs! ::punch the sky dance::
First off, you need to join Discord. Why? Because.
Because I'll be doing a live stream coding session tonight on Discord at 18:30(ish) GMT+2 (Converted for those who shy away at doing...

With Episode 3 being in the final stretch for completion, I've been looking at what I can do "better" going forward.
One of the things I've identified is the Patreon Tiers, and I'd love (absolutely LOVE!) to hear your thoughts and input as patrons and followers.
The tiers are due for a revamp, and I've been looking at them whenever I'm not working on Episode 3. I'd like to add value with the revamp instead of just shuffling value around. This means I might consider dropping a spec...

It's Sunday!
It should be Friday, though. That would've meant two more days of weekend!
I'm healthy and busy again. I caught up with some old friends, which warmed my heart. I was planning on working a lot more over this weekend, which sadly could not happen.
I also made good progress with Infinite Stars. I have three edited scenes ready to go into coding, adding another rough 5K words to the game. These scenes include another split to deal with the consequences of your choi...

As mentioned in the devlog earlier, Stoffies was kind enough to do some colour variations on the gym. I initially asked for yellow, orange and blue, but he went above and beyond to give us more options.
Cast your vote on the colour. The image is in its final stages, but if there is something minor that you feel has to change, speak up in the comments, and if it is something practical, I'll ask Stoffies to fix/change it.

Infinite Stars is turning two years old next week.
I've learned so much during this time, and I'm happy with how this little Covid-19 Lockdown project has grown. I've met so many amazing people (I mean, it led me to meet all of you! <3)
Looking back, there are things I would have done differently. Things that I wish had worked out differently. There are disappointments and regrets. Missed opportunities. Loss, grief and frustrations. But that is the nature ...

(Pretend with me, OK?)
My day job has continued to be busier than usual, and I've been a bit sick, but I still wanted to pop in to let you all know I'm alive and well! (Well, not 'well' well, but as well as one can be while being under the weather.)
On Infinite Stars, I've been crunching for the next release, and I wanted to share one of the new backgrounds with you!

Legend has it that the ancient ones that came before us lived their whole lives around one particular day. They called this day Friday; even in modern times, we honour those before us by living for Fridays.
Oh, and it's also devlog day. Yay! You decide which is more important.
I missed the devlog last week, mostly because I was spending some time with family. I try to do them weekly (You can check my post history, I'm pretty consistent!), but sometimes things happen.

Hey.
I'm still here. I'm still working on Infinite Stars and Draegan Herald.
We had our second miscarriage, so I've been dealing with that. Last time I took a few weeks off to process and grieve, and while it helped, it broke all my momentum and lost me a few opportunities. (I lost the opportunity to be interviewed by VNGameDen after they listed Infinite Stars as one of the most anticipated Otomes for 2022, and I missed out on working with the fantastic and v...

.o0OFRIDAY!!
Got pulled over by a traffic cop earlier this week who wanted me to bribe him. That was fun. Didn't bribe him, but also didn't get a ticket. <3
Oh! And Dobby is going for his dental checkup later today. Italian Greyhounds are notorious for losing their teeth and having their tongues hang out of their mouths. It looks cute, but– No. I'd rather let him have all his teeth. We've been religiously brushing his teeth since his puppy days, so we're hoping for good news!...

Just a quick reminder that we are looking for your input and ideas on one of the upcoming scenes.
Go check out the #department-of-planning-and-development channel on our Discord Server for the prompt. If you don't have access to this channel, you need to pick a role under #rules, and the channel will appear under the CONCORDAT SUPPORTERS category.

Now that the "crew in underwear" series has concluded, we have capacity for new outfits!
I need your help to decide which outfits to commission next.
Everyday/Civilian wear is one of the outfits I'm considering. Think jeans, shirts, skirts etc. Clothes our crew members would wear when not onboard the Tabitha.
The other outfit is more formalwear. Think ball gowns, tuxedos, cockta...

Who doesn't love a feisty ex-assault marine who always has a creative solution to problems. (Say what you will about her methods, but she did save Katya from that sentinel.)
Veera is the definition of "dynamite in a small package" - she's always ready to go, and this also shows in her underwear of choice. While other ladies might prefer lace and floral patterns, Veera is all about practicality and action. She still wants to be wooed, just not with flowers.

Groundhog Day anyone?
Work has continued to be super busy, but I'm not complaining as it pays the bills! Having to do it during a cold front does make it slightly less pleasant, and Dobby our pupper lives for cuddling under the sheets over the weekends. The rest of the time he stares at us with eyes like, well, puppy eyes. There is a word for that.

Matthias. A shy man who means well. He is much more comfortable wearing a shirt as part of his underwear ensemble, and it took some convincing to get a screenshot of him without one. He is very, very shy. Did I mention that?
Despite his overdeveloped sense of self-awareness that makes him seem awkward, he is one of the most harmless and easily excitable people you'll meet on the UIC Tabitha. That wasn't a pun... OK. Maybe it was. Still– Have mercy on the poor boy.

Friday! Yup!
It was a short week in South Africa with the public holiday and all, but I still managed to get quite a bit done.
Not a ton to report, with only three work days for me this week. It was mostly busy work and very little creative work.
Most of this week was spent working on the layered character art and updating the existing story to use said new art. Episode 1 is done, and Episode 2 is 3/4 done, with only Lahnkush still remaining.
After Lahnkush, I still ne...

Another week of progress. Yeah!
I mentioned the fundraiser in last week's devlog, and I'm happy to announce that we managed to raise 20K over the weekend for kids with cancer! It was exhausting! I spoke to almost 800 individuals in the two days, and walked roughly 30K steps up and down our exhibitors tent. My voice was a rasp whisper by Sunday evening, but it was all worth it. 20K for an amazing cause! You can also see a very cool 2022-06-10 07:08:03 +0000 UTC

It might not seem like it, but in her heart, Mayvheen is a real girly girl. Due to her rank and responsibilities she tends to suppress her "free spirited, easy going" self.
She loves comfortable clothes, and pink is one of her favorite colors. She's not ashamed of it, but it's also not something she likes to broadcast to everyone.
If you get to know her better she might start opening up to you. There is a whole different side of her that you haven't seen before.

Busy week! But it's Friday!
I'll try to keep this short as I have tons to do. (I'm taking point on running a fundraiser at an expo for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, so I'm busy wrapping up my preparations for that!)
Writing has been going well for both projects. Usually, I feel meh about my writing, but there is that golden sentence with an idea that flows perfectly every once in a while. I've had a few of those this week, and that always excites me!

Going by everyone's feedback, Khalil is another player favourite. The women on the crew might consider doing pinups, but Khalil is all about pushups. And situps. And pullups. And– Well, it pays off.
He isn't a gym fanatic, but he clearly believes in working out. Sometimes you need strength to protect those you care about, and if it means your body ends up looking like a chiselled block of marble, then that's a bonus.

Reyna is well, Reyna. Her underwear definitely matches her feisty personality. She is her own woman, with her own (very strong) opinions. If you like how she looks, that's great! You will have a fantastic time together. If you don't, it doesn't bother her. She doesn't need your...

So! This week has been amazing. Super productive. You wouldn't believe it.
I've finally bit the bullet and started converting the sprites to layered images. It's a painstaking process, having to slice the expressions and export them again, recode the character in the game with all the different image variations, and then actually go through the whole script to change the charac...
