Hey everyone,

Hope your week is going great so far!

Being friday, I figured it was a good day to write up a progress report on how things are going so far. As you may or may not be aware, I"m currently transitioning from the 0.7 update cycle and into the 0.8 update cycle. Doing so has been a lot of work, and tedious programming.

The 0.8.0 update that I'm currently working on is a complete overhaul of the Inventory system within Persona H. Becauase of this, I have to make sure it has all the cool and fun features I want, as well as being able to transition anyone's save file from BEFORE 0.8.

It's been challenging for sure, but also a TON of fun! It's a necessary step to ensuring that Persona H is held together better and not so prone to bugs or glitches.

So far, the inventory system has been created. Every item has categories and sub categories, descriptions, rarity, functions and features. This is all intentional and allows for me to do as much (or as little) as I want when creating new items for the game. Not only does it take all existing items and transfer them into this system, but I also converted Clothing, Accessories and Equiupment into items as well. This is because I will be changing over the clothing parts of the game in an upcoming update.

Lastly I"m rounding out a few bugs and other things for 0.8.0. Mostly to create a more stable game that people can play and enjoy. 

Progress has been good, but there is still a bit to go before I feel confident releasing. I want to release this now, but there would be too many transitions bugs I beleive. So to be safe I"m going to release this next week when it's more optomised for release.

On Patreon there is a poll for Patrons only where you can vote for the next couple updates after 0.8 and 0.9. Going forward, this will be the new way to decide the theme behind all of the update cycles. I want the players to choose what featyures should be worked on and I think this is the best way to do so.

On Discord we recently hit 500 users! So that has been great and we have been celebrating. Come and say hi if you haven't done so already!

Anyway, that's all for now, I have to get back to doing more work on Persona H. Hope you are enjoying it so far, and come let me know what you would like to see for it in the future.

Thanks and talk soon,
