Natasha's rework and the coming month

Good morning everyone!

A new month and with it new goals.
I'm currently in the middle of reworking and adding animations for Natasha with her new and "old" breastsize. After making Natasha's character model back in January 2020 I thought "ok this looks a bit strange... but well you wanted to try something new, surely it won't be that bad". I admit, that was perhaps an overly optimistic thought. Most of your reactions where negative to this experiment and the more I looked at the animations and her model the more I agreed with you. Because of that I added an option to the bonusscene poll to reduce her breastsize to a more moderate size and add an alternative storyline to her character. Now almost 2 years later this option has won. By now my skills have somewhat improved so it won't just do to make a new version of her old model with smaller breasts.. I have to rework all of her old animations aswell or it will look like 2 different characters. I always knew that this would be a lot of work for just a bonus scene, but since it really took a while for it to win I will do my best to make it worth the wait.

My first idea was that if you reduce her breastsize you would also change her character behavior back to normal. But the more I thought about it the more this gave me nightmares about how much more writing and conditions it would mean. So my solution now is: You will be able to make her breasts smaller even if they are at maximum, but her corruption level will stay as it is. Means if you never expanded them to maximum she will react differently.
I know that most of you probably went past that point in your current playthrough. But making another third or even fourth dialogue level for her is just too much work. She is but a side character after all.
I'll be working on this the whole day and if I get it all done the release of this scene will be tonight. If I can't finish it you can expect it early next week (mo/tue)

Moving on. The other main topic for this month is Verena's update. The first thing I will do for her is a small rework. Her breastsize looks a bit bigger when dressed. I will adjust her breasts so that they match that size also when she is undressed (reworking 150+ images, yay).
I usually think about how to exactly make the dialogue chains when I'm in bed trying to find sleep. It took me a while but now I think I have something figured out in detail. Just to be clear, the general storyline was set before, but the "how exactly everything goes in detail" is almost always made at the time I actually begin to work on something.
Spoiler:
For Verena it will have a lot to do with Arianna and since Arianna is connected to the cult storyline you might get an idea where this is going. 

Let's talk about release dates:
Before I set them up a small disclaimer: These dates are meant as personal deadlines for me. I make them to structure the time of the month and also to put pressure on myself to work harder. It doesn't mean that I will be able to release on exactly that date as there can always be unexpected problems and then I will need more time. 

That said, I put the deadline for 0.4.2.5 on the 14th and the dealine for 0.4.3.0 on the 28th of this month. This will then give me another 2 days afterwards for Penny's bonusscene.
I hope I can make these deadlines, as I want to return to my old scedule.

There is currently a "prevote" running on discord to determine the next addition to the content poll. If you want to participate check the announcement channel on my discord!
The next content poll will be available on monday!

Thank you all for joining in this month!
I wish you all a nice and relaxing weekend!
