The Road Ahead

In my initial post I spoke about how excited I am about the launch of TSSR, but in this message I was hoping to also give patrons a somewhat more concrete idea on what the road ahead is going to look like for both the project and the Patreon.

As for the Patreon:

It is my goal to make sure that there is at least one post every week. The content of these posts will vary from general messages like these, posts explaining my creative process and my motivations for certain narrative decisions, polls and sometimes early-feature images of art that will be added in the future of the game.

I believe that this rhythm of posting, covering this broad range of topics, will lead to there being a consistent feeling of engagement with me as a creator with you the Patrons. In addition, I believe that these topics will give you all a broad look inside-the-machine, so to speak, giving you a real look at how I approach creating the game.

As for TSSR:

Initially, my goal is to work towards releasing an update on a bi-monthly interval. This means that every other month, you should be able to enjoy a new update for TSSR.

I say initially because my goal is to slowly increase the pace of updates throughout the year. Once I better get into the work-flow of creating/publishing, I am confident that I should eventually be able to reach a once a month update schedule, allowing you to enjoy a more constant gaming experience.

A bi-monthly release schedule, specifically from the start, will allow me to better guarantee that any potential future updates will not just be content-complete from a writing perspective, but also be content-complete in regards to art. This means that players, on their first playthrough, should already get a quality experience featuring strong artwork in combination with the story.

And that's that! I hope that this has clarified for everyone how I envision the project going forward. Feel free to chime in if you feel that I've missed anything!
