Hey y'all! It's been a while and I wanted to put out a little public update since my last word was in early June.

Things have been going steady since coming back from vacation and ramping back up in early July! The code changes I mentioned were all implemented and I'm working on animations and static images to put a bow on 0.7.0 from the visual perspective. From there, I need to do a playthrough for proofreading (which is normally pretty quick).

I'm also working on a few other quality items. I've added some UI aspects to the gallery that make it a little more aesthetically pleasing (in my opinion) and implemented a cheat function which will see some life with the new release. The biggest non-visual change is that I'm also working on adding music! I have a title theme which I like a lot (and even paid to license) and have been working on implementing other tracks in between rendering. There's some UI that goes in line with this, but I've already coded and implemented that bit, while some other minor UI tweaks are on my list, but shouldn't take too terribly long to build in.

I'd say I'm about 70% done right now and I expect to have 0.7.0 available to supporters by mid-August. From there, I'll make the game available on itch at a set cost. No plans for Steam yet - mostly because I feel it'll be another while before the next update after 0.7.0 and while I think most of the folks following development of this game have come to understand my lengthy cycle, I don't think your average Steam buyer would be as understanding. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but that's where I'm at on that part... although I will bring Erisa's Summer to that platform eventually!

I hope you'll have a chance to play and enjoy! I'll put a little note out (well, probably a long note) once 0.7.0 is available. So, if nothing else, you'll hear from me then! Stay well and thanks for keeping on here with me!
