Hey, everyone, it's Andy here. I'm here to give you monthly report for both September and October update.
There aren't many new things here, but I'll still list them here anyway:
-- Story and Development --
Updated to 0.12.10: Episode Wilfred and Lars Day 12
Wilfred Episode has been updated along with Lars Day 12. Those two took longer than I expected, but it's also mixed in with my busy schedule and some issues that I don't wish to disclose here.
Those two updates are part of the release backlogs (June and July updates) and were supposed to be released July and September respectively.
The placeholder artwork for Episode Wilfred.
Apparently, Wilfred enjoys eating instant noodles with runny poached egg.
...and Talbot's pan-seared salmon bites with honey sesame soysauce. How specific.
Day 12 for Lars' route.
I've heard somewhere that big cats can be as jealous as their small counterparts.
There's always someone...or three who wants to spend time with Walter at the wrong time.
We haven't seen the big pack characters lately, but don't worry, they will show up a lot more starting Day 12.
Adjustment to previous days
Some of the previous days in many routes have undergone small adjustments to fix the inconsistencies due to slight story change in Lars Day 12. You don't have to replay them, but some facts you remember might not be canon anymore.
//
There are many things I can't show here since it'll be a major spoiler, I hope you guys will enjoy these updates!
-- Assets, Improvement, Fixes --
Side Images
This update brings two new side images. A new one for Lars is being worked as we speak.
Don't mind what they say, focus on the side images.
We're still trying to make sure that the side images are accurate to character images, so I apologize in advance if this takes longer than usual.
Backgrounds
This update brings two new backgrounds for the game by Vui: The neighborhood in Highwell many years before the main story, and the mountain trail leading to Wellborne Hill.
The mountain trail background has more variations, but since it might contain spoiler, I've decided to only post one for now.
We have more that's being worked on, which will be used for Day 13 and 14, and even more irl pictures that need to be replaced at some point.
Character
We planned on releasing at least one new character image every two months this year, but Wolgen has been super busy; hence this will be the last character image we'll get this year: it's Harvey himself!
There's more of him that I obviously can't show here, but we'll see it in time...
Let me do it for you... <borzoi sounds>
Upcoming CG
Mr. Bear has started working on the CG and here's a little progress of it.
As much as I want to show you the full CG here, it's not allowed since this is a public post, and I don't want this patreon page to be banned by Patreon LOL.
Music, sound effects, ambient sounds
We've added a few more new tracks into the game, as well as new ambient background sounds and sound effects. I can't possibly list them here, but I hope you'll enjoy them to make the VN even more immersive.
Aside of that, I've added more loop to existing music, fixed some awkward music loop, and changed the music format to allow smaller file size without compromising the quality.
End credit
We've added pictures for the Big Pack Co Developers and added extra credit for the end scene that appears at the end of each day. A new version, present only in Episode Wilfred has been added as well.
BUGS! MORE BUGS! Adjustments, too
No matter how much we try, we still find new bugs each playthrough. I've fixed a handful of them, and if you find more, please let us know on our Discord server (Patreon only)
Thankfully, none of those are game breaking and can be ignored for some time, but still, we want this game to be free of errors during full release.
//
We've also adjusted the textbox. You might notice that the texts are shifted a little to the right side. That's normal, don't panic. We're trying to make the side image more expressive, and sometimes the image bleeds into the textbox a little (a lot), so by adding more padding, we can do that without the image overlapping the text.
---
There's a change of release order to help me manage my schedule better, previously, we were going to release in this order: L12 -> M12 -> P12 -> G12 > A12
and the updated order is below: L12 -> P12 -> M12 -> A12 -> G12
We'll release in this pattern from now on until further notice.
If you lost the link and is on the Discord server (Patrons only, current and past), feel free to tag me there. Public version is available on my itch.io page

Extra note: I've also noticed that I've gotten many unread messages on Patreon. If you're still willing to discuss them, feel free to head over to our Discord server (patrons only) and ask me in the #questions channel. I'll do my best to answer them there.
With love.
Thanks for reading! See you guys soon.

We only have Lars' Special Episode right now. Making one is super expensive and we have countless of backlogs needing to be finished. Once development is more stable, we'll start considering it :) You can still read the previous special episode in any of Patreon build tho!
Don't worry about me Gran. Gil takes me well.
Hi, is this year's Christmas ep still being produced normally? Is it too late to reward and vote?😭😭😭
Andy Peng
The Discord, as stated, there is Patrons only. When you pledge (any tier) the patreon bot will just invite you in. If you were a previous patron (from June onwards), just let me know here and I'll give it a quick look.
