Brothers and Sisters and Siblings of the Lucent Priory,

It's been one week since I published the Canticle demo. In that week, there have been more than 1,600 views and 400 downloads of the demo, and over 50 of you have joined me here on Patreon and my Discord server. When you're in the process of making a game (or any creative project), there's always this looming question about whether there is anyone out there who will see in it what you see in it, and I'm so happy and excited that a lot of you seem to enjoy the game as much as I enjoy making it.

So, as a thank you, I wanted to get something out to you on this blessed Lightsday, so that you may continue thirsting (for the Twin Goddesses' blessings, of course). Future updates will arrive in staggered 2-week releases based on Patreon tiers as set in the tier descriptions (Cantors first, then Scribes, then Acolytes), but this one is out for all patrons today.

Earlier this week, I put a poll out on our Discord asking about which of the five novices you liked the most in a romantic or sexual way. The winner was Soren. Because etymology is sexy. The purpose of this poll was twofold: I already explained the part about character redesigns to my patrons (if you haven't voted on the heated Luca twink/twunk situation, you might want to hurry up and do it now before the poll closes); the second part was that whoever won the poll would be the first date added to the game in this impromptu update.

This update includes 4 and a half days of your first week at the Lucent Priory and is more than double the size of the demo.

For a list of changes and the download link, head over to Patreon.
