+Hi everyone, welcome to **9th** devlog of **Rakugo Project** in year 2024.
+If you find my projects useful, you can support the project via **[Patreon]**.
+Thank you very much, if you decided to do!
+
+## Incremental Releases and Updates
+
+I recently realized that I was approaching Rakugo projects
+and my other own projects come in a way that neither serves you.
+Instead of staying under pressure to create their optimal version
+with all the options I can think of, I switching into incremental releases/updates!
+
+### What I understand as Incremental Releases/Updates
+With this post I abandon this approach,
+now I will try to release the minimum version of the project first,
+then in subsequent updates I will add only a few new options and fixes.
+
+You will soon see how it works as **Visual Novel Kit 2.0** will soon land here,
+which is currently at the stage of implantation of the **Save/Load system**. 
+

+
+## Godot Icons Fonts
+
+Projects **Godot Material Icons** and **Emojis for Godot**
+soon will be combined into one project called **Godot Icons Fonts**.
+Now I'm working on it, version 1.0 of this new project is almost ready,
+I just need find way to fix one bug.
+
+Why I'm combining those two projects, answer is simple.
+They was almost the same code base, so it was every tedious to keep them both.
+It also make easier for me to add new features or improve existing ones.
+
+The main changes:
+- New **FontIconSettings** resource
+![](/images/icons-fonts/FontIconSettings.png)
+- Better **FontIconButton** as now it can have label
+![](/images/icons-fonts/IconButtons.png)
+- Option do dock to Bottom IconsFinder
+![](/images/icons-fonts/IconFinder-MI.png)
+![](/images/icons-fonts/IconFinder-Emojis.png)
+
+_See you next Week or Two._
