🕑 Added 2022-08-26 12:02:01 +0000 UTCWe're getting there!
Two weeks until release. But that also means one week until beta testing.
I'm on track, but just barely. There's nothing major to be done, just a zillion small things here and there, and about 20 seconds remaining of the concert animation, which needs two versions due to Steph sometimes not being present (you monsters!).
I always try to sit down and do a relaxed playthrough when it's getting closer to finished. This time I played through Lexis' path, and it was a good feeling to it with some happy tears pushing. That's always a good sign.
I was a bit afraid that the chapter might feel small, due to the huge variations and the sheer number of scene variations, but it was a nice length chapter. And with the advantage of being very different if you play through more than one ending. And it's a good indication of how I'll make new content from here on.
Right now I have cut one Linda and one Steph ending, due to the chapter works just fine as it is. But if there's any time at all left over before the release, I'll pose, render, and script them while the game is being tested.
I sometimes get the question of why there's no scene gallery. Having diverse music and a scene gallery don't really go hand in hand, and I wanted to tone down the adult aspect due to Artlist. Though now that I'm not using Artlist, I'll try to include a scene gallery for the final release, but it's going to be close.
Next week I'll add all the information concerning the release schedule. Click here if you want to add your name to the end credits of Leap of Faith. Remember, this is the last chapter, and therefore also the very last chance of getting your name added to the credits.
Have a nice weekend, and stay safe out there.

Wow! I only found LoF the day before yesterday. I got to the end of Chapter 7, and finished a box of tissues, just yesterday. Today, I read the birthday post and its comments. This has certainly kept my tear ducts exercised. Thank you! And I can only say that I'm sorry to have taken too long to find this and have missed "Cece"'s birthday too.

Take the time you need, but to be honest, I play your game for the feels first, not the scenes, which I only see as an added bonus. Also, seeing Holly, while I won't hold my hopes up, I wish she'd become a LI...
Feels like the end of a long road. Cant wait to see whats over the horizon, but still need to jog several miles to get there

sounds great Drifty! And just focus on the 1.0 product, extra's are nice but you can always add them as a post-release 1.1 etc release.
