Progress Report 2023.04.15: Coding Update
Added 2023-04-15 19:15:14 +0000 UTCHi friends,
This is a quick update on the status of Episode 3 Part 1. Aeran’s branches are fully coded and I will be moving onto Veyer’s branches on Monday. This was a lot of work (around 189k words of content to code!) and I’m at the halfway mark, which is a little behind schedule. It may take me another two weeks to get Veyer’s content finished, and then I need at least a week to do an initial round of bug testing before I can release the update. This is going to push a potential release date to the very end of April, if not early May.
I have been sharing little bits of the process and the developing story map on the Patreon Discord server. If you’re interested in that and haven’t joined, feel free to join us!
I am hoping to get bonus content out this month. It will likely be a video about how I actually code the game and the different systems and shortcuts I use to make the process a little easier. I’m not sure when this will be released, but it will contain spoilers for the Veyer branch.
As mentioned in my last report, I will not have sneak peeks to share until I start writing new material. Short stories remain on hold, but if you are in a tier that has access to those benefits, there’s a backlog of old content that can be found in the short story tag.
As a reminder, once the update is out, everyone will have to start their playthroughs over from the beginning. Loading in an old save will result in errors.
As always, thank you all so much for your support. 💕
