Well folks, it's August already!

I can't say July was very productive on the game front, as I have been incredibly busy stepping up to more responsibilities at work. However, that is now mostly done, so there should be a lot of movement in the coming month.

I'll keep this one short, but I will say that keeping my word and having something to write in that one devlog a month has been a motivation to keep working on the game in the little free time I could find, so even if nobody reads them. they are still useful in some way! 

There is a lot to be said about being a solo dev, and I think everyone knows it can be challenging, but the toughest part of all sometimes is just motivating yourself to keep going when there are ten thousand other things you could (or should) be doing. In the end, it's worth it, and I'm not complaining at all or comparing myself to people who depend on it for their living, but thank you to all of you who have cheered me on along the way.

Also, as you know, itch has massively reduced the visibility of adult content on the platform (not their fault, don't be mad a itch), so feel free to share a link to the game/page far an wide if you feel like it!

Now for some progress. Last devlog, I said I wanted to add about 3000 words to the script, and quite hilariously, I have written 3003! So it seems I'm not that bad at estimating after all :D

It's been a little scattershot, and I am mostly establishing the most important beats of the story at the moment, so nothing is finalised (to be honest, nothing is ever really final, it can all evolve until the very last second!), but it is a good start! As we go on, scenes will be consolidated, things will get tighter, and it will all come together, but for now... It's all bits and pieces. I know some people love to plan everything, or write a story from A to B, linearly, but that's not really how my brain works.

Art-wise, I have had time to do exactly zero drawing in the last month (which makes me immensely sad), but as I am writing I am keeping track of the spanking scenes I need to draw so that we can all track progress down the line. As it stands, there are 16 spanking scenes in the script (accounting for various permutations), with a lot more to come.

August goals are: to write about 5000 words, draw 3 spanking scenes for Chapter 4.

Thank you all!
