Hey everybody.
I'm pretty close to sending Episode Four to the playtesters. Close enough that I am announcing it will be released for all tiers sometime during the first full week of February. (Biggest Supporters will get it a few days earlier than everyone else.)
I'm not going to announce a playtime/length for Episode Four. Every player has such a different experience that my announcements for previous episodes haven't been worth much.
There will be around 3600 new renders (including the bonus scene) which is a lot more than any previous episode, but keep in mind that a lot of those are for alternate pathing. Some scenes need two or three versions depending on the choices you've made. In addition, some of the most render heavy scenes are the sex scenes which you may not unlock on your particular path. I'm still very confident that you'll be happy with the amount of content and story progress in this episode, but just be aware that unless you're doing replays to see all of the content you probably aren't going to see anywhere close to all 3600 renders.
A reminder that all supporters past or present who have contributed at least $12 total over the last three years are entitled to a Steam or Itch key. Updates are released on Steam/Itch at the same time they are released to the $10 and $5 tiers. Please DM to let me know which platform you prefer.
Finally, I am announcing that Episode Four will be the last which features a bonus scene (Episode Five was planned to be the last). Each bonus scene takes about a month to produce and after how long Episode Four took to finish I really just want to get Episode Five done as quickly as possible. But do check out Episode Four's bonus scene because it's pretty great.
Thank you for being patient and for your awesome support!
