Progress Report 2023.04.15.: Alpha Update Coming Soon
Added 2024-04-16 00:27:10 +0000 UTCHi all,
Sorry for the lack of a progress report on Friday! Last week was a bit of a blur since I had several long days coding the new Episode 3 material. The good news is that all of it finished; the playtester build was updated on Friday and the new material is currently being tested. I am giving it a couple of weeks so the team has time to go through everything, and I have time to deal with the game-breaking ones.
Additionally, I am attempting to finish up some more Episode 3 content and push the end of the route to a major scene I really want to include with this update. It’s on the common route for all Episode 3 variations, so getting it done now will serve the game well. Because it’s mostly linear, it should be a little easier to write than the moments that came before it since there will not be too much variation in choice due to plot reasons.
I am tentatively aiming to release the update for patrons the weekend of April 27/28. This is far later in the month than I would like, but the build needs time for playtesting. With this in mind, I would like to put out a reminder that the password to the alpha build does change on the first of the month. If you are de-pledging, you will not have access after April 30th.
The update will add around 80,000 words of content to the build (that's the cumulative total; I should know the average playthrough amount by the time I release the update).
