Chapter 3 (V0.25) of A Shot in the Dark is still coming together nicely!
We currently have 1,335 renders completed and over 50,000 words written for the next update. The Chapter 3 (V0.25) update is now in the home stretch as far as content creation, which means we are moving more into the implementation and polish phase of the update cycle.
Don't forget this update cycle also includes the new features discussed in this post: A Shot in the Dark: "Walkthrough" features coming soon
These features will obviously add some coding and testing time to the development cycle, but we know they will be worth it to improve quality of life and replayability for many players.
Art for the second beach update (V0.95) of Prince of Suburbia is progressing on schedule!
With the writing wrapping up for the next A Shot in the Dark update, our team will be able to shift focus to Prince of Suburbia so we should see more progress on the writing in April. We are also looking to hire an additional writer or two to potentially help with this and/or future updates.
One of our team members who works on Prince of Suburbia has had a health emergency and will be taking the month of April off. If this causes any delays with the V0.95 development cycle, we will keep players updated. We did not anticipate releasing in April anyway, so it's too soon to say if there will be an impact beyond that. We wish our team member a healthy and speedy recovery!
If there are any delays with the release of V0.95, a silver lining is that it will likely allow us to include some of the remastered art planned for V1.0 in the V0.95 release so that we can reach our goal of a fully remastered Part 1 sooner!
