Hey folks,
Hopefully a slightly shorter update today, as I want to give you a break from my usual essays... But no promises.... 😊
Last week went well, with no major issues and yesterday and today were chaotic, but very productive. This evening alone (It's 9pm here), I currently have two machines rendering images and a LOT of fixes to do, and a target of 100 more lines of script to complete before bed, so I want to get back to it instead of boring you good folks! 😊
And just as I'm writing this, I realize that I forgot to publish the promised episode 23 walkthrough, so I'll add that to this week's to-do list. It's completed - I just need to tidy it up and make it legible.
My whole focus at the moment is on Season 2 and it's still going well. A little slower than I would have hoped, but that's not because of problems, just because of the amount of script changes I'm making. But so far, I think you will like all of the changes / edits /improvements I'm making.
Based on my last poll regarding how BIG Season 2 should be, the vast majority suggested to go for the longer option (same size as Season 1) and I don't want to make polls and then ignore the feedback, so I'm going to go with what you asked for and go for the larger size.
Depending on how much new content I add, this will probably bring Season 2 up to the end of the original episode 18 (Carnival episode). I have put in a provisional date of July for it's release, but I am seriously considering giving Patreon folks an early look at a playable chunk around May, just so you can have a bash at it. It won't delay anything by making this available, it will just give Patreon folks early access. I won't be doing early access on Steam, so Steam will have to wait for the full episode release.
And I'm hoping to release the epilogue before season 2, so hopefully by this Summer, we will have released Season 2, our first epilogue (Heaven / Elizabeth) and have all walkthroughs complete.
In my next update, I'll go into some specifics on exactly what scenes we have already completed, and a little more info on additions on extras.
Also, if any of you are on discord and haven't already joined our server, you can find it here:
If any of you are interested in getting involved in game development as a hobby (or career 😊), I'll be setting up a thread on our discord group for budding game developers who would like to learn, (DM me on discord to be added to the group).
As always thanks so much for the support, let me know of any questions or comments and I'll get back to everyone and let me know if there is anything you would like me to cover in my next post.
Thanks,
