Hello, everyone.

It’s been a while since I wrote the last post. Perhaps some of you even got the feeling that the Patreon page of the game had been abandoned. But, I’m still here.

So, let me tell you a couple of things about the game.

1. I still haven’t started writing the dialogue for TLE as I have too much work right now, and I just don’t have enough time. So, I have to be satisfied with creating scenes and renders, which isn’t bad, I guess. But I definitely need to start writing soon as it will take quite a bit of time given the planned size.

2. So far, the number of scenes done is close to 10k, and the number of rendered scenes has exceeded 7k. I have 3k made in advance in case I have to work even more as I’ll only be able to render if that happens. And when I start writing the dialogue, I’ll also be rendering the scenes I’ve made, which can greatly speed up the process. Right now, my PC works 24/7 and can only rest for about 12-14 hours per month at most. In summer, I turned it off more often as it was too hot where I live, and I was afraid my GPU might croak.

3. Very soon, I’ll organise a poll among my patrons (I don’t know for which tiers yet) to allow you to choose the next Story, which will be completed in late October/early November. You’ll decide which of the three side projects you want to play: Secret, The Deepest Sea or Darkness.

4. A bit later, I’ll also write a post for the patrons with some interesting information about the release of TLE. I have an idea, which I’m sure you’ll find quite pleasant.

Well, that’s about it. Join the discord channel of the game if you still haven’t: https://discord.gg/ZdZCqVkVT6. There you can ask questions, report issues and bugs or make suggestions, which I’m always interested in.

In conclusion, I’d like to say what I probably should’ve said at the beginning – something that is very important and feels pleasant to me. I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting me in any way, financially or morally. Every comment you make here and on third-party sites, every donation you make, every message you send – it’s all very important to me and helps me a lot to move forward. I’m grateful to those of you who have been supporting me for a long time, despite such long breaks between the releases. I realise that you feel the risk in doing this, which makes it even more valuable to me. Thank you so much.
