Let's talk progress first. I'm mostly done with the writing. I say mostly, because as I said in one of the previous progress reports, I mostly focused on "main story" stuff, in the possibility that I could release that content for the supporters first. Now I still wrote side-events (some were actually necessary to the main plot), but I mainly focused on events I needed for the main events. For those of you who are curious, my text file is now 2100 lines long. In terms of events, Sheila's story is done, the first FRP is written, and Eve's events are done too. It's all ready for implementation and rendering.

I also shared a (unfinished) render to the manager supporters a few days ago, which I thought would be the start of a series of other renders, but I quickly realized that I was missing too many assets for me to comfortably start renders without thinking I would be interrupted. So instead, I decided to take care of the code. As I said in the last progress report it was either code or art, so there's no issue here.
First I started reviewing what I wrote one last time, then I started implementing Sheila's scenes. During the coming days, I will probably get busy implementing the rest of the events, and the quest logic and that kind of stuff.

Now, onto the poll I published a few days ago. Who's the best girl?
First, let me tell you that we may never know, because some very suspicious jumps in popularity occured for some girls during the few days this poll has been posted. Like, some girls jumping 20-30 votes in a very short amount of time...
Anyway, I'm not going to accuse anyone of botting, so I'm just going to take those very legitimate results as they are. But before I do, I'm going to tell you that for the next poll, I will ask you guy's names again. For no reason at all. ^_^
 First of all, it needs to be pointed out that the results aren't spread out very much, and that all the girls are about as popular as every other, which is very pleasing for me. It means you guys love all the girls equally, and this means I'm doing a pretty good job.
Then here are the results, from the most popular, to the least popular:
Emily, Eve, Angelina, Riley.
 Now the fact that Emily is first doesn't surprise me, as she's the girl I catch you guys talking about the most. I can't say I fully understand why as she has the least amount of content right now, but I'm assuming it's mostly because she's cute. Now Eve and Angelina surprise me. I really thought the muscle mommy that is Eve would get a more niche following, but she's actually a very close second from Emily! Which is good, since 0.5 will focus on her. Angelina is also quite surprising. A curvaceous MILF with huge mommy milkers in third place?? It's just very weird, and that's all I can say. Even more surprising if you've seen her in her bathrobe, to be honest. And lastly, we have Riley. She's hot, but the fact that she's a bit of a cunt probably knocked her down a few places. Understandable.
Well, that's it for the poll. Maybe I'll do an other one either here of with the names enabled in a few months, to see if the results change. Until then, those are the official results :D

Now onto some bad news. It's becoming clear that the update won't be ready, even for supporters, in December. Implementing the events in code probably won't take me 10 days, but if we assume it does, it only leaves me 20 days-ish for the renders, music, sounds, portraits, and that's just impossible. So I'd rather give you a new release date, to rip the band-aid of once and for all: mid-February.
It's nice and far away from now, so if I get a chance to release before that, then great, if not, you won't be disappointed.
Again, I'm the most disappointed person you could find in regards to the delays. But if you feel like you need to express your frustration in whatever way, I understand.

It's the end of today's progress report. I'll share some spoiler dialogue for the supporters (probably the last time I share dialogue lines before the release), and I'll update the progress meters. Thank you for your continued support, and remember to cover up! It's getting chilly here. Bye :)
