Dev Log #68 - A painful week!

Hi all! Welcome back to another dev log and I hope everyone is doing well! I for one hope that I recover as soon as possible as well... but let's get into it!

My current condition
Unfortunately, I'm currently suffering from a painful ear swelling that has led to an infection. I saw an ENT doctor just earlier today who said that the swelling has caused 70-80% of my ear canal to be blocked and am now in the phase of recovering and having my rounds of medication, although I would have wished the doc could've alleviated me from my ear fullness and on-and-off ear pain, I'm also thankful it's not something that will affect me for the long term, as he has mentioned that I should be fine in 2-3 days!

This ear swelling has also led to me having a fever as well as body aches. Thankfully, this fever doesn't include the usual runny/blocked nose and/or sore throat combination. While I'm not sure what caused my ear to swell earlier this week, I can be sure that I'm staying well away from my usual bad habit of using Q-tips, as I honestly just want to feel fine again and to tie up most of the development progress before the end of February.

Current progress
As a result of my condition that happened on Wednesday, I haven't gotten much done. However, I'm happy to say that from last Friday till Tuesday, I have had enough scenes in the render queue that they are still rendering as of me writing this dev log.

I will gradually pick back up on my progress as I recover and if all goes well, I should be back to 100% in just a few days and have better updates for everyone!

Render request updates
On a separate note, early next week, I will be increasing the "Big Horse Energy" tier number from the current 5 limited slots to 7 on SubscribeStar! I will also be adding this tier to Patreon and limiting the number of slots to 3!

As a quick run-down, the benefit of this tier is that you can request a custom render request (up to 15 renders) that involves anyone from Cara in Creekmaw in any scenario you wish (i.e. vore, pregnancy, inflation).

This addition would mean that anyone who subscribes to this tier from now till the end of February will be eligible for their custom render request for February!

------------------------------------------- E2:E PROGRESS BREAKDOWN -------------------------------
Story: 100% done.

Renders: 75% done. +201 renders from last week, bringing the total to 920 + 201 = 1121! Up 10% from last week.

Dialogue: 60% done. No change as was focused on mainly rendering in the first half of the week before my ear swelling occurred. I will be looking to crunch for this the following week and have everything up to scuff.

Game Playability: 40% done. A few scenes were stitched together during the first half of the week before ear swelling occurred. Will also look to crunch for this. Up 10% from last week.

--------------------------------------------- END OF BREAKDOWN ---------------------------------------

In the meantime, I will be trying to balance my sick rest and also progress on development as best I can during the next few days of my recovery.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Stay safe and healthy!
