v0.11 News + Release dates

Long story short, I've pretty much caught up with all the dialogue I wrote right before I officially started making the game. Thus, I plan on splitting the work for v0.11 into two months and releasing them in two update cycles, hopefully giving me enough time to write all the way until the first kord-lisa "S" scene (patreon public post rules) whilst also still being able to give you guys game updates instead of just nothing for a whole 2 months.

Since the updates are split in two and won't have as much content as your regular update (especially the first half), I'll be posting the first half on the 5th March, the same day as the v0.10 public release. Meaning that if you've subbed within the release of v0.10, you will also get the first half of this update with that same charge.

Release Dates

First half:

• For [Demon] - 5th April

• For [Thug] - 12th April (1 Week after)

• For [Vagrant+] - 19th April (2 Weeks after)

• For [Knight] -  26th April (3 Weeks after)

• Public Release - 3rd May (4 Weeks after)

Full update:

I don't plan on giving a changelog or detailed preview for the first half as it will only be 2 H scenes but I will on the second half which should have 3 H scenes and hopefully more repeatables. That's all unless I feel like I need any extra time to continue developing the story. (I will still post teaser pics)

Note

This does mean two months of "half" updates, making up a single full update. And there's a chance I could extend it by another month and just pause billing if I don't get to where I want in the story and feel like I should keep going because of good ideas, etc.

However, this is in no way, shape, or form me slowing down. I like this method of writing all the dialogue up to a certain point, then shifting focus to animating, correcting scenes/dialogue, and still having time for repeatables or any extra mechanics. Also, focusing purely on the story and dialogue first lets me better map out where I want things to go so they align with other plans and future content. Then, when it’s time for updates, I don’t have to think as much about the story (past me already handled that), I can focus more on how it all comes together as a game.

To add, if I did write dialogue per update, not only would updates slow down, but I feel like it’d get monotonous. I'm trying not to let burnout or anything else stop me from making this game, hope you all understand.
