Hardware migration and stressful tragedy.
Thanks to your support and a bit of my savings I can finally upgrade to new hardware. My 9 year old machine is getting replaced. Normally I'd build my machine from the ground up myself, but as you all are most likely aware of it's basicly impossible to buy a graphicscard today. Solution? Buy a whole computer just to get the graphicscard, altho the machine that I went with was a Store configuration. Meaning it uses standard components, where as most of the components in said build was the same that I would've picked. I kinda got lucky. Now ofcourse everything isn't perfect, I'm moving over to the m.2 and since the motherboard only has 2 of them, I'll just have to add an adapter to go all m.2. My previous work drive is an mechanical drive, it works very well still. But I'm starting to have many small files making listing go rather slow. At the time when I built the old machine, I didn't trust the SSD's completely so I went with the safer option at the time. It will take quite a while before I'm done with all the software on the new hardware since it'll run on win 10 and I'll have to find a bit o substitutes. There's also a bit of hardware left to buy. Like a new cooler, because the one that they shipped would be in the way of adding the additional memory that I ordered. Other than that, the new hardware performs very well in all stresstests that I've performed.

It's been a stressful month, not long after I ordered the machine, I discovered that my gov program wasn't extended. Someone had simply "Forgot" to extend it. Meaning that I would lose one month of income. This would screw over most people big time. And yeah it does for me aswell, but I learned a hard lesson back in 2007 and since then I've kept a bit of savings that I'll be borrowing of. But the knowledge that I'm all out of income and not knowing when next payout is going to happen is quite stressful. I did manage to get things done and now I've got my confirmations that I've been extended so it'll most likely turn out well. Except for the fact that I'll have to save a bit more upcoming months ofc.

With the Drama over I'd like to say that the updated "Kiss Scene" is in the current version.
It branches into three different options. I've also finished two more areas including the new tilesets related to which. I've also finished three bath scene pictures with touched up graphics. There are quite a few more to finish but the more time consuming ones are now finished. Next up is working on the new interior tilesets and it will be interesting to make the  rounded shapes that I've planned.

I hope that you'll enjoy the update when it's finished.
Thank you for supporting my gamemaking!

Yeah I hope things will be better. I do have a friend that got unemployed mars last year and he's still waiting for his. I just try to ignore it and press on, getting things done regardless. Today it's a very hot day, summer is certainly here. Time to locate all the fans and get some icecream going :-P
