A mixed bag of things

Having done a bunch of advertising last week, I've noticed my traffic running MUCH higher than usual, as is to be expected when one does advertising, so I figured now that the initial burst has died down and everyone has probably downloaded the game, it won't be a huge issue if I make a new post and bump the actual update down a bit.

So, first off, for the new people, in case you feel like supporting me, I have a Patreon. It's advertised on the sidebar but it's small, and quite easy to miss so I figured I'd just bring it to everyone's attention now. It charges monthly, and gives you early access to every game update, coming on the 21st of the month. The public release varies on when it comes out based entirely on my whims, so if you want a regular time to get it, it's just $5 a month for that. Or if you want a guaranteed say in how the game develops you can pay $10 or $20 to get a vote on what the next month's update will contain. Currently I have no patrons for that much, so I'm just doing whatever I feel needs doing next.

If you feel like supporting me but for some reason hate Patreon, I'm also putting out a series of books on Amazon. They aren't smutty, so I appreciate that the vast majority of my fans won't be interested, but if mechs are a thing you like, consider checking them out.

I put out the fourth book today, which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAQD8BK

And to save anyone the effort of digging if they're interested, first book is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQ5W5G4

And finally, an update on how the next version is coming along. The post-fight Melanie scene was...long and painful to write. Mostly because I did 5 text entries, and THEN had to split it into three chains. So the chains were shafted a bit to be shorter, otherwise the whole thing would be too long. I've also got a template set up for socialising, and will in later updates be handing out chatting with most characters. Probably a spring cleaning update honestly. I'd have liked to be further forward on development, but the previous update has spawned so many problems I'm going to need to chase down every bug and fix them all. I'm making progress, but there's more.

Anyway, that's it for this week. Earl's Musing again next week.
