Hey all,
Just wanted to give a quick update about this last month and what to expect in the coming months.
First off, I had high hopes that episode 9 would be out this month; sadly, due to some family issues I'm having to delay it a little. I had some family problems at the start of the month, but that all died down after a week, but then last week it all went to hell again. I won't go into any detail about it, but I'm having to look after my 3 nieces during the day, and ( for obvious reasons ) I can't work on a porn game with them around. I'm still trying to work on The Cabin at night and on the weekends, but with a full-time job, looking after 3 kids and trying to support another family member has just been a massive physical and emotional rollercoaster. That being said, something was said on the situation by one of my family members last week which gives me hope that the emotional aspect of it is over.
That being said, progress hasn't come to a total halt; I am still working where I can. It's just a little tricky, but I see a lot of late nights and early starts in my future. That being said, let me give you a little update on episode 9/10.
So as for the writing, Crab has finished the writing for the 1st scene of episode 10 and will be starting on the 2nd soon. And for the art, I have 7 scenes complete and have 2 more left to do. Those last 2 scenes aren't anything too tricky; however, the 9th scene will require a lot of new coding that I'm not 100% sure I can do yet. If I can't, I have friends that can walk me through it so it will get done.
I also have a few new features I want to add into episode 9, but 1 might require a restart of the game, so I may delay adding that in. I'll let you know once I've done some actual tests.
Also, in my last post, I said that I'll be doing monthly dev notes at the end of each month. I've decided to change this to the middle of the month instead, as, like now, if there are any delays, knowing at the end of the month isn't going to help anyone.
I still can't say 100% that everything is fine and dandy in my personal life, but I hope to have a release out in September. If you have any questions or concerns, comment them here. And I know this might sound like one of those devs who have a shit tonne of family shit because they can't be bothered with the game anymore and eventually just stop, but let me assure you, as I have in the past, I have zero intention of cancelling the cabin.
