Hello,

It’s that time again! Delay time!

I am now shooting for a release of Build 9 to be by the end of the month.

I don’t know how many of you are following my Twitter but a few minutes after putting out the last DevLog last week, I had to bring my father to hospital. He’s doing better and he should be fully recovered by the end of the month.

So that coupled with the fact that I only got one day off this week means that I’ll have to delay the build again.

As the title of this DevLog says, I did in fact finish programming the minigame. That means I can finally get an accurate word count from Ren’Py so I can tell y’all how many words will be in this new build.

18,500ish

Which is bigger than the first build. But a lot of those words are tied to the minigame and variables and such so it won’t feel as long but it’s still long.

DomaFox has been busy and won’t be available until the end of the month. So expect a 0.9.1 for the finished sprites and a 0.9.2 for the CG. One of the sprites is mostly complete but lacks expressions, the other is just a sketch.

I was contemplating using the sketch and WIP for the sprites as placeholders but since I originally wasn’t going to have these character be sprited, I decided against it.

There is one last thing that I wanted to talk about now before I forget. As of Build 9, I will not be uploading the 32-bit.win.zip versions anymore. The .pc.zip version will have the 32-bit executables in them from now on. The reason I removed the 32-bit executables from the .pc.zip versions is because the 32-bit executables trigger a lot Anti-Virus programs for some reason. Recently, I’ve noticed that my Anti-Virus hasn’t be triggered by any Ren’Py games with the 32-bit executables, so I think the issue has been resolved by Ren’Py-Tom and friends.

I hope I can have the script for Build 10 ready by 5/17/2022 at this rate.

I don’t have any suggestions this time. I was going to suggest something but I want to wait one more build until I give a 5-Stars.

Thank you,
