Welcome to all the new patrons that joined with 0.2, I hope you enjoyed it, and thanks for your support!
0.3
It probably goes without saying that I'm now working on 0.3. So far I've planned out days 13, 14, and 15 in detail, and fully written about half of day 13. I'm not sure if I will go for all 3 days in 0.3, or just stick to 2 days like I did in 0.2 - it depends on how long the days end up when fully written, and how long it takes me. Obviously it's far too early to make any commitments about release dates yet, but I'm aiming for 6-8 weeks, which is roughly the same as 0.2.
Gallery
Other than planning and writing 0.3, I've been up to some other things too. I've begun work on a gallery system, the coding for which goes far beyond anything I've tried to do with the Ren'Py menu system before, so that will take me some time to figure out. How long this takes is one of the factors in how many days end up in 0.3.
New PC
I'm in the process of building a new computer. Those of you on the discord may have seen me mention that in the final week of 0.2 development, my current computer died. Fortunately it turned out to just be the power supply, which I replaced, but it got me seriously scared that I was going to miss the very first release deadline that I had promised to you all.
My current pc is almost 10 years old, and I don't want to be in the position of being stuck again, so I'm building a replacement and intend to keep the current one intact as a back-up. Unfortunately, all this takes time that I would otherwise be working on 0.3 - so again, this is a factor in how many days it ends up as.
Skip to update function
Since the original release of 0.2, I have changed the link on the release post to offer a slightly modified version of the game. A couple of people had trouble with 0.1 saves, so the new version offers the choice, after naming yourself at the start of the game, to skip right to day 11. This is probably something I'll continue to do with future releases.
Dev log schedule
It occurred to me recently that I never formally told you the dev log schedule, though you may have figured it out. I'm releasing them every other Sunday - so the next one will be 2 weeks from now. At which point I expect to be on my new PC, have at least the 2 days that are certain to be in 0.3 fully written, and hopefully have the gallery system completed. At that point I should be able to give you all a better release date estimate, and perhaps even a preview render or two.
As always, thanks for supporting the game!

I just built my new PC with i9-12900KS and Z690 ROG board. The RTX-4070 is currently pretty good in price/performance. Graphic cards are starting to come down in price.

Processor: i7-13700K Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-F RAM: 64GB (2x32GB) Corsair Dominator 5600MHz DDR5 Hard drives: 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2 + 2x 8TB HDDs Got all that because Honey Select is processor and RAM heavy, and had planned to stick with my 1080TI (which was the only part of my old PC that I had upgraded over its lifetime) because high end graphics cards are eye-wateringly expensive nowadays. But now that I've decided to keep my old PC intact as a back-up, I'm probably going to bite the bullet and get a new nvidia card too.

i am a pc geek and built every one of my PCs for over 2 decades. What are the specs of the new machine?
