By the gods it's already 2025... I seriously can't believe how crazy this last year was, but it has been a life-changing journey. This is gonna be a rambling update, so be prepared.
Goblin Encounter Update:
So right now where do I stand with the update to TotE:GE? I am wrapping on the main story, I am now just left the epilogue and some other small additions I just feel the story needs. I also do know that there's a couple renders here and there that I want to go back and fix/change/update/add, but those will come closer to final release. Also, I'm going to try to get out a "pre-release" version sooner rather than later. (Trying for the next week or two) I want to get some feedback from patrons and also just have some extra eyes catching my probable numerous typos and inconsistencies.
The future for "Tales of the Eclipse":
After this update, I'm going to do a bit of a pause on continuing the project. I have reached a bit of an impasse for what I would like to do for the future of the story. The VN format is something that I absolutely love, but my work ethic is just not getting me to where I want it to be. I still am going to continue the story and explore some more of this ever expanding world, but I need to find some new method of exploring the story that I can do in even smaller bits and pieces. I haven't quite figured out what my plan is yet, but we got time...
The future of "Dax":
Oh yeah! I'm a part of this too. Honestly, this year has been one for the record books. I hit some of my highest highs and my lowest lows at a record pace and boy that took its toll, but also it's no excuse that I very much dropped the ball with working on this update. I'm going to focus on getting this update out and then I want to take a little break from TotE to reassess where I want to go with it. What I really want to take some time and learn Blender, and I want to go back to my roots and get out some more "regular" renders as well. I miss my main girls and want to make some new ones. The other big thing I want to do this year is to re-do some of my older models, and work on stuff like their skin textures and other subtle details.
As always thank you all for you continuous and overwhelming love and support! I have a lot of plans for this year, but I'm... honestly not that worried. I'm excited to build, learn, and grow this year. Realistically, I don't think it's going to be a CRAZY BIG year, but I think that's why I'm more excited. This year is going to be on to set the foundation of much more to come!

for some reason i see so many devs do this.. they write the story as they go.. which will almost guaranteed cause block, burnout and stalling.. both for the dev and for the fans... in no world is it a good idea to write the chapter 1 of a book be 3 pages, and then chapter 2 be the thickness of the bible, theres some serious error with the planning there. 600 renders for 1 update seems crazy too.. especially considering the dev DO have a patreon.. nobody in their right mind supports a game dev monthly and only get a content out of it after 14+ months.. most ppl would just unsub, and resub later.. it just doesnt make a good business model.. you want to push smaller updates out monthly instead.
In my instance, I actually had a bit more than 3/5 of the original update done in ~4 months, but then I tired to expand things as I got a new job and life exploded in my face. I tried (and entirely failed) to keep pace, but that's part of the learning process. Overall it's much easier said than done and the creative process is a complicated one. But in the end, you are right, and that's what I hope to improve down the line.

Okay okay! For realsies this time. So I had an idea for a final scene, but it was just too talky talky for me. So I changed it up, turned it into a mini dialogue, then an a reveal, then the epilogue. For the epilogue it's just gonna be some some dialogue and a mini montage. Gotta keep it under 100 frames for my own sanity... This was originally supposed to be just about 20, but it was just all talk talk, exposition exposition... no fun... (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
But yeah, gonna try to get this out by next week, hopefully sooner. Woo!
For those of us not on there, is there any mention of a public release date? I wish he was on itch or SS. :/

Actually, all you need is the "free" tier membership, and you have access.
DaxOfAllTrades Is it OK to repost the contents of that Patreon post here, or do you prefer to update the OP yourself with download links?
Sorry about the delay, fell asleep updating the post last night...

I almost ignored your game because you forgot to put the most important tag -> "Animated"
I had to extract the rpa myself to check.
You should update your tags asap, you're losing a lot of potential players.

Now that's an options page. Why isn't this default in renpy?
I'm liking the game a lot.
