Hi guys!
Time for another small teaser, this time showcasing Olivia’s beautiful dress for the dinner scene. 👀
But there’s also something important I’d like to talk about.
Part II is big. Very big, actually. And if I want to include everything I originally planned, I’ll need significantly more than the ~2 months of development we’re currently at. Given my current financial situation, I think the best course of action is to focus on finishing the most important scenes and release Part II in that state.
This does mean the update won’t be as massive as I initially described. However, it will still be around the same length—or slightly larger—than Part I.
My plan is to include the final two scenes (the ones that would be cut for now) in the rework that follows after Part II. Since you’ll most likely need to start a new playthrough anyway, this will also allow you to continue the story a bit further right away.
One of the main challenges I’m facing is the amount of time I spend on visual consistency, angles, and overall detail. This is very important to me. I want each update to meet a high standard and feel visually polished. I think you’ve all seen how much the game has improved since the initial release over a year ago.
On top of that, I’ve been implementing new features, which means:
Additional coding
Custom renders for specific scenarios
More complex scene setups
And since I’m currently handling:
All the writing
All the renders
All the coding
All the sound design
…it adds up quickly.
I do want to release updates faster, but I don’t want them to feel shorter or less meaningful. Finding the right balance has been a constant challenge, but I’m genuinely doing my best to deliver something worth the wait.
Looking ahead, I’m aiming to release the game on Steam later this year, and I’ll set up a wishlist page after Part II is out.
If I move forward with this plan, I should be able to have everything ready by the first week of April.
Right now, I’m finishing up the remaining parts of the update, but the clarify, the update will contain:
Alice & Luke slice of life - this is split up into 5 different scenes/scenarios, equalling around 200-250 renders in total.
Olivia's Dinner scene. (estimating around 100-200 renders for this one).
Milo & Alice OF shoot. (estimating around 100-200 renders for this one).
Bonus Lilly OogleFans scene
So there will definitely be plenty of content to enjoy.
I’d really love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Your feedback means a lot to me—and helps shape the direction of the game moving forward.
Thanks again for all the support ❤️-AbyssGames
