Build 1.9 Is Finally Out! (On Patreon)

It took way, waaaaaay longer than we originally thought, but it's finally here! Build 1.9 of NMF is out on Patreon, for Dedicated Readers (5EUR) and above.

When we began work on the comic near the middle of last month, I expected it to be a somewhat straightforward job that would require us three, four weeks at the latest. Probably one of the biggest time mismanagements of my career thus far: we suffered numerous setbacks due to Renpy's constraints, as well as by our own dedication to making this not simply the first webcomic-like sequence in an FVN, but the very best for a long time to come as well. We truly went the extra mile for this, to show you all that this is not only possible but also amazingly cool for you guys to read through and immensely rewarding for us to finish: sadly, that meant dedicating more time to the project than I originally scheduled, and both the Public and Patreon Builds being delayed as a result.

From now on, our comics will be their own upload, or at the very least the VN parts preceding them and following them will be severely downsized compared to other story uploads. We cannot risk mismanaging our time like we did this month again: it's simply not doable with a monthly release schedule. Regardless, the next build is still coming: just a little bit later than we thought is all.

I'll remind you, just in case, that this is NOT the official Patreon Build: it's just an extra unfinished build that we created to show our most dedicated supporters all the new VN story sequences, background arts, character sprites, music tracks, as well as the unfinished comic sequence itself. The comic is still not in color, but that'll be fixed in a few weeks once the 2.0 Patreon Build officially releases (the Public Build will be roughly a week after that).

I'd like to thank Nik, Gator, Eymon, ItsHypers, and everyone else who contributed to making this build the best it could be as soon as they could, and who went above and beyond not just for mine, but for your sakes as well.

See you in the morning. -w-
