A larger update then I usually do with the story.

I added a bunch of edited AI generated backgrounds this time.  So about that, I know some people are vehemently against ai art generating, some to the point where they make threats of violence and are basically a terrorist, hmmm....

But lets go back three years ago. I was just getting started with  this and was looking at artist commissions. There was no way I could afford to pay for how many backgrounds I'd end up using! Many artists charged $200 plus for art! The cheaper ones I found, I really didn't like their style. So I used edited free stock photos and also 3d backgrounds that I made in Trimble SketchUp myself. Then when ai art generators came out, it was a great opportunity for me to get more unique backgrounds, so I did. As for starting a patron and trying to get paying supporters? Well Patrion has this little thing hidden in the terms and conditions that they own anything you post! So nope, I don't like being robbed.

And now the second VN I mentioned.... Well Dragongate was inspired by Blackgate and Blackgate visual novel has been abandoned! So I thought, what if I take my favorite route and finish it? Yes, instead of 16 routes all with multiple endings what if I finish one myself? I could even get ai generated backgrounds to replace a few of the lower quality ones, not to mention that I even use several of the same stock photos that are in Blackgate.  Its an interesting idea, I might have to rearrange the files and coding, but might be fun. I'm still thinking about it.
