It took longer than initially expected, but Chapter 1 is now live. Here's what's included:

-Carmina Revamp

-A lot of grammatical and continuity corrections

-The rest of Chapter 1, which is ~4 times longer than the content up to the v0.01 release, which is now the "free demo" of sorts.

I hope you enjoy the first Chapter of 'Dataspike: Pendulum.' It's been a lot of work, and a lot of frustration, but worth it in the end.

Moving forward, here's what you can expect:

-regular release updates to story. Starting the clock after the new year, I will try to release an update every other week.

-Beefing up the story already released. As I continue to write the script, I will be filling out older scenes more, making them more rich and worthy of your time.

-Revamped CG. There are some more scenes I want to clean up and re-render for better lighting, camera angles, etc.

-Character design updates. This one kind of explains itself. This is also an area I would love to hear user feedback on. Which designs do you like? What kind of visual changes would you like to see?

-Possible animations. As I'm able to make time for them, I hope to replace certain scenes with animations.

There are other things I have in mind as well, but I'm sure you're about tired of this update log, so I'll leave it here.

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

-Sincerely,

R.S. Cree
