Dev Update 17th December
Hi Folks,
I wasn't expecting to make another Dev update before the release of episode 19 because I thought it would be well done by now, but here we go....
Starting off with a confession: I have not been working on the game for the past four days due to some real-life stuff. (Nothing life-changing or tragic - all is good). I know it's shit to get this close to a release and then take my foot off the pedal but it couldn't be helped. I mentioned in a previous update that I had something coming up and that's why I was so hell-bent on trying to hit my last deadline...but we really felt that the game wasn't completely finished and that's why we released a beta last weekend, rather than the final finished article. This is the longest break I've taken away from the game in as long as I can remember so hopefully we're all still friends!
I am now back working on the game and aiming to have the final release of ep19 completed this weekend.
I received virtually zero feedback on the beta from the patrons, so that means that you all loved it so much you were beyond words, OR you hated it so much that you can't even talk about it OR you didn't try it because you've no interest in a beta.
I'm going to assume it was option 3, which just means we have to check every single path / branch ourself because our beta testers have given up on us.
I was hoping to come back from my short hiatus with a full list of stuff to fix / correct, etc. from our eager beta testers but.... nada. But... you were all expecting an episode in early December, so I guess we were all disappointed.
Now I'm gonna go get back on the game.....Will be back in touch very soon....
Thanks,
CG

Hi folks,
Just to keep you in the loop. We are still full-STEAM ahead for the release of season 1, within the next ten days (18th/19th November). I still have a lot of work to do to get everything finalized, but no major concerns. Main priority over the next ten 10 days is adding music / sfx and play-testing - I'm literally going though every single combination / path possible (which is a lot), plus a few art touch-ups as I see problems. The very last item on the to-do list is Steam accomplishments. Not sure if I will get these in... so may end up releasing the game without. Let me know in the comments if Steam accomplishments are important to anyone?
I'll be posting a poll shortly to see which of you are interested in receiving free steam keys to access Season 1 versus those of you who don't use Steam and only plan on accessing Season 1 from Patreon (so I can figure out a plan to get the game to everyone).
Below you'll see a few teasers of a very short Jenna scene I added near the end of Season 1. Originally, it was meant to be a short phone call, but I couldn't resist changing it to an in-person discussion. It's the only new art over the past couple of weeks, because other than touch-ups, art is done, so just wanted to give you a peek.
As soon as Season 1 is released later this month , my focus will switch to episode 25 of the original game. Speaking of which... Cell had to take a couple of days off last week, but as of this week, he is back working on episode 25 (see some teasers below).
Centurion continues to work with me on editing / adding additional content to the re-do and as we move onto episode 25 (and later...Season 2), we plan on getting him even more involved (in writing and art). See some teasers below that C3nturion put together for Lily.
And once we get onto Stem, my plan is still to try to expand the team further to improve our turnaround time on episode 25 (and future steam seasons and our next game... eventually)
Gotta get back to it, so as always, thanks a lot for the support and let me know any questions/comments below or in a DM and I'll get back to everyone.
Thanks,
CG
