Why am I launching Coquette in early acess? Tl;dr, I'm poor and my mother was just diagnosed with cancer.

That makes things seem a little darker than they are, and things could be a lot worse. As it stands right now... I make only just a little bit more than my rent, and have been relying on my savings from before I moved for bills/food/prescriptions etc on top of that, which are getting pretty low. I have pretty much nothing in the way of an emergency savings, and previously could rely on family in the event that something happens, but right now my mothers treatment and preparing for any of her unexpected costs is the first priority. Her diagnosis is a very hopeful one, but... anything can happen with cancer, and theres possibility of her being unable to work for a period, etc. In any case, I'd like to not have to be in the position of relying on family right now.

So, I'm releasing Coquette early so that I can get Volume 1 finished as smoothly as possible, and try generate a little interest in the project etc that will hopefully help out my Patreon etc too. If I can make a little extra a month I'll no longer be eating into my savings...

So what's in the early access launch? Chapter 1 and 2 are in their complete forms, bar a little fine tuning for the final release if I decide to make any changes, and the first section of Chapter 3, that includes all of the 3D animation work I've been showing recently. Also left out is some of the extras and stuff on the edges, like the glossary menus.
