(Miscellaneous refers to smaller jobs like reworking bits of code, making new character models and smaller events like Taka Phone Calls and Sunset Road Stories)

So, I'm gonna be honest, it's been a pretty bad week in terms of work done. I threw out the Aya scene I finished last week and redid the whole thing because after looking at it again, I just felt it wasn't good enough. The new version is a lot better and you'll even find out how you and Mirai met!  But, of course, this took valuable time. I also had to do some overtime at my real job, cutting my working time for the game even more. Now, this is all on me, it's 100% my fault that not enough got done, so these aren't excuses, just letting you know why this weeks has been slow. I need to manage my time better and possibly need to be a little more realistic with how much I can get done in a month while I have a full time job as well.

No news on the music front, I'm afraid. The guy who's writing the new background music for me works full time as well and he hasn't been able to spend much time on it yet BUT he thinks he may have some samples for me this week.

There IS some good news, though! It looks like I may have found someone to take on a kind of promotional manager role for the game. This might not sound like much but it potentially saves me a huge amount of time that I've been pretty much wasting on trying to deal with it myself, as I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to that side of things. It should give me upwards of an extra 10 hours a week to spend on the actual game, so this is a very positive thing!

So, finally, the release. I am HOPING to release the subscriber early access version on Saturday the 12th. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A 100% DEFINITE DATE. But, although it will be tight, I think we can get there. If not, then it will be early the week after but I will do an extra post on friday to let you know how close we are. The public version will be released one week after the subscriber version.
