Hey everyone, hoping your having a good day!

Just wanted to talk about my current progress so far and what I"m working on.

0.0.4 Release 

Currently, I"m building the 0.0.4 release, which focuses mainly on adding in Maya from Persona 2, as well as being able to choose any of the 4 girls to join your roster of 3 girls combos for the spinner.

The main hurdle so far has been to allow the player to choose any of those 4 girls and allow for the conversations to become dynamic based on who was picked.

For example if you have Chie, Ann and Yukari, and Chie gets picked for the thighjob, you will have dialog that pertains just for those three girls. Iff you had Maya instead of Yukari, the dialog would be different.

The reason this is important now, is to make sure that I have these "Dynamic Conversations" happening later when there are more characters. I plan to include as many as I can to the spinner, and I want them all to converse with each other as they do!

What's Next?

Once I have uploaded 0.0.4 to all patrons, I will be focusing next on 0.0.5 which will be my first public release.

To make sure I"m still giving benefits to Patrons, I will be attempting some bonus content that only Patrons in the Early Access version will be able to see.

So for this release, and releases going forward, there will be two versions of each release. A public 0.0.5 for eaxmple and a Early Access 0.0.5.

The Early Access version containing hints and experiments towars where I'm taking the game next.

For 0.0.5, the Public will have access to all the feature I amde available in 0.0.4, with teases towards where I'm going next. All Patrons will be able to see the next girl unlocked in the spinner, but not used yet. Patrons will also have a glimpse at Story Mode in 0.0.5, while public will not yet.

I think this is the most fair way to do this, as it's an incentive for public players to donate as well as being a fair reward for those that are already patrons here!

Anyway, 0.0.4 should (hopefully) release some time this week! I"m still doing the finishing touches for Maya's SScene, as well as rounding out some more coding for the writing on the characters.

Talk to you soon,
