Belated Happy New Year and HHR update
🕑 Added 2025-01-06 10:39:44 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
happy new year!
Finishing the new games' day 1 is dragging on a bit, but it's really getting closer to the finishing line now.
When I wrote the Christmas post, I was at about 9.8k words, now I'm at 13.5k.
One smaller scene only needs the renders scripted in now, and the final day 1 scene still needs its 2nd (lewd) half written and everything rendered, but after that, there's only some testing and polishing left to do.
Although I'll also need to do some other launch preparations before publishing it, so I'm not sure yet if I'll manage a release this week, but next week looks like a safe bet by now.
The first release will therefore have at least over 14k words (possibly around 15k), nearly 5 times as much as the prologue alone would've had, which I had originally considered releasing first about a month ago.
Basically, just prologue + day 1 of HHR will already be bigger than any VN I've released so far apart from TM, and about 12% of TM's entire dialogue (and the TM number of ~120k includes lots of "oh"s and "ahn"s, duplicate scripts for the gallery and so on, so... you get the idea ^^').
The only small damper is that I've decided to delay the first real sandbox content to update 0.2.
That doesn't really mean you get sandbox content much later though, as I'd have to create some content for it first one way or another; it rather means you'll get this big story chunk earlier, and it won't be delayed by some rushed rudimentary placeholder sandbox.
In turn, the sandbox content will be bigger and more polished from the start when it arrives with 0.2.
I hope for your understanding. Release 0.1 will already have some implicit and some explicit naughty content, so it's not like you'll only get exposition dumping in 0.1 ^^'
Anyway, back to work!
