First off, wow, it's the end of June already? I mean tomorrow. Time flies!

How did you enjoy the Sumi side story? If you haven’t played it yet, you can find it here

If you have played it… (spoiler)

I couldn’t help myself, I added a new girl! She’s connected to someone from the main game. I assume you can guess who 😉

(end spoiler)

Tomorrow I’ll be uploading Sumi Unused content from her side story, available to Ultra Tier subscribers.

Also tomorrow, I’ll be posting the poll for the next side story, open to all Super Tier and above supporters. Just a kind reminder though: I don’t plan to release another side story in July. Instead, I’ll be using the month to build more headwind for Episode 6 development.

Speaking of Episode 6, I don't want to share spoilers, of course, but here are screenshots for some nice intrigue:

Lastly, I’ve been posting some animated clips on socials. I’m currently trying out the AI animation and experimenting a bit. Since I know I’ll get this question: No, I don’t have plans to add animations into the game itself right now.

Here’s why:

• File sizes balloon very quickly. The 4k game will easily become dozens of gigabytes with animations.

• AI animation is still inconsistent. It just isn't good enough to put time into now.

• It would slow down development significantly.

So for now, these animations are just a fun bonus for socials! You can catch them on:

• DeviantArt

• X

• Instagram
  …and others!

Thanks again for all the support! Can’t wait to share what’s next!
