First ending complete
Just a small update to say the art for the first of four endings (not counting the cut-off for the incomplete main route) in version 1 of Veil of the Lotus is complete. I've also finally caught up with the progress percentage on the sidebar again after increasing the amount of content in the first version so from now on it will give a more realistic estimation of completion again.
Release info (no date)
I've been catching up on commissions and have put up a few new pictures on Patreon. Tomorrow and the day after I will put those pictures on Pixiv, but I'll probably also finish a new image for Patreon early access fairly soon.
I have yet to find the time to draw a lot for the game, but have worked on it some more in terms of putting the text in the game and transferring to the new version of Ren'Py. I can not give a release date or even an estimate for the first version release yet, and I will not promise it will be soon this time either.
I can however give some of my thoughts on how I'll release the game. I feel like Patreon supporters should have some bonuses but I also don't want to have material be permanently exclusive to supporters. Until now people pledging 5$ or more a month on Patreon have access to a very short and meager (no music or sound yet for example) demo of the game. When I release the first version of the game however, I do not want to withhold the game for much longer since everyone who cares but can't pledge has already had to wait so long.
The current 'solution' I have in my mind is as follows: Veil of the Lotus version 1: Allie will be released on Patreon first. This is also the beta stage, so although complete in terms of content this version might be a little rough. Hopefully though some of the supporters will be kind enough to give me some feedback/spellchecking/bug reports, as I will not be using beta testers this time. While working out any kinks Patreon supporters have found I will work on adding one extra scene to the game. When done I will release the first version to everyone (feedback will still be welcome for the next version/update of course), and release a version with the extra content to Patreon. This version with a little extra content will stay Patreon-exclusive until version 2 is released for everyone, this version will include the Patreon-exclusive content of version 1.
The Patreon-exlusive content I have in mind for version 1 is an early bad end for the Lotus route specifically with one event scene.
I'm hoping this is a solution agreeable to everyone: non-pledgers will still receive all content eventually and almost all content quickly after Patreon, while Patreon supporters will always have a little bit more before non-pledgers get it. Read more

Two extras of Hana who will have her own route in the first Veil of the Lotus version. You can view them in bigger size by clicking on the thumbnails, but visiting Pixiv to rate and bookmark the images helps me even more.
