Important note
I just reread a few previous news posts and realized that I made a mistake. The thing is, I forget to mention that the development of the 1.1.0 update will also take about 1,5 months, as well as the development of the 1.0.5 update. That is, v1.1.0 will be released only in the second half of November. I'm gonna spend the last two weeks of November on the remake, just like I spent the last two weeks of September on it.
In this news post, I explained the situation with the further game development pace but didn't make it clear enough that this pace will be applied to the next few updates (not only for v1.0.5). I mean, it was obvious to me that my work on the remake would take some time (at least 2-3 updates starting with v1.0.5), but it probably wasn't that obvious to some of you.
Maybe it's no big deal for you, but I feel a little awkward and uncomfortable about it anyway
So if you were counting on an update in October and don't want to pay for another empty month, you can cancel your subscription and write me in private messages about the refund request (not applicable to those who joined for the first time).
________________________________________________________________
About the v1.1.0
1) Events:

1 event with Rachel (I would even say that this is a big event)
1 event with Kim (2 paths)
1 event with Sasha (3 paths)

The event with Kim turned out to be quite big. Not because this event will be long, but because it will have two paths. The first path: if the MC didn't use Kim as a person who would help him get dirt on Pollard (or if the MC refused to take that compromising material). The second path: if the MC took the dirt that Kim found.
The first version of this event will be entirely dedicated to Kim, but the second one, in addition, will be also the main event (there will be some dialogues with Vlad and Zac).
The event with Sasha also turned out to be quite large, since there will be three dialogue options:

if the MC asked Sasha to help Carol with Abby
if the MC asked Sasha to help with Rachel's ex-husband
if the MC asked Sasha to take revenge on Max

Plus, there will also be some femdom content if the MC agreed to Sasha's offer during the third payment for her services.
Also planned: 1 big event with Sara, 1 event with Nikki, and 2 additional events based on the results of this poll.
I'm not sure about events other than the ones described above. Ahead of me, I have to work on a big event with Sara (the first date), an event with Nikki (finally, some real action), and a couple of additional events based. I guess I won't have time for something else, so most likely this's the final list of events.
2) Renders and animations:
About 280 renders and 4 animations are ready
About the remake
There is no news yet, as I am only working on the 1.1.0 update at the moment.

So far, I don't have much news about the next update since I started working on it just a couple of days ago. But here are some highlights:

- it starts with a morning event with Rachel
- ends with a date with Sara
- there will be an important plot fork in Kim's storyline (she's a side character, but anyway)
- Sasha will finally start fulfilling her promise
- there will be some progress on Nikki's painting (maybe for a number of reasons I'll postpone it to v1.1.5, but that's very unlikely)

1) Events:

- 1 event with Rachel
- 1 event with Kim

Also planned: 1 big event with Sara, 1 event with Sasha, 1 event with Nikki
So far, this is the entire list of events, but most likely it will be increased with a 2-3 more events + two additional events based on the results of a poll.
Voting for additional events will be published in the coming days.

2) Renders and animations:
A couple of renders and 2 animations are ready

About the remake
(only the beginning part of UoP)
Everything is going well, maybe a little slower than I would like, but that's fine.
In the last days of September, I managed to make ~150 renders, rewrote about 800 lines of dialogs, and made many small edits.
Below you can see a comparison of some scenes before and after:

With regard to rewriting dialogs, I make changes for three reasons:
1) I have changed my style of writing dialogues over the last two years of game development. So now I'm trying to bring the whole text to an unified style
2) There are a lot of strange statements, harsh expressions, nonsense, and other unwanted things in the current version of dialogs.
3) Some dialogs at the beginning part can't convey the right nature and personality of some characters. This is especially true for Carol, Yuki, and Ashley.
For example, starting from updates 4-6, I gradually began to correctly convey Ashley's stubborn, rebellious, and slightly childish nature. But in the first updates, Ashley seems more serious than she should be.
For those who care about progress in numbers:
Scope of work Done
Scripts: 5600 lines 850 lines
Renders: roughly 1200 150
Animations: - 4
This is the minimum I planned to do. Ideally, it would be great to remake a little more than that, but we'll see how things go.

Привет всем, я здесь, чтобы объявить дату выхода следующей главы. Я извиняюсь, что это заняло много времени, но количество вещей, которые нужно было завершить, было огромным.

TLDR: Бета-версия выйдет на 3-й неделе октября следующего месяца. Золотая/публичная выйдет вскоре после этого.

Спасибо за вашу постоянную поддержку! Хотя я хотел бы выпустить игру раньше, было больше сцен, которые нужно было сделать для более полного релиза. Я спешил посмотреть, смогу ли я выпустить его в этом месяце, но количество анимаций и рендеров было чрезмерным, поэтому мне пришлось отложить релиз.
