Update on EO, chapter 12 and book 1 remastering.

TL;DR version at the bottom as always.

I know some of you are concerned about the next chapter's delay but I assure you, nothing like the previous hiatus we took will happen again. it's really just unfortunate on the side of EO, so I'll ask for your understanding and patience for the moment. 

EO's statement: The latest I'll be able to return home is this Sunday, I'm processing and doing my part during the mornings and afternoons, but everyone is awake and active so I can't get much work done. At night, it's really not ideal to work during these hours given my view(See attached photo). "EO is easily spooked, I could never get him to watch horror films, although I've watched them all."

If you're updated on our discord server, ignore this paragraph: "This does not affect chapter 13's schedule as I've already begun working on it a week ago, it's my part that takes a significant amount of time to process, so it would still be on June 9th-10th. Feel free to make suggestions regarding our discord server. Not to mention even with chapter 12's length, it's going to be on a pretty nasty yet exciting cliffhanger to make sure the book 2's opener finishes strong, so having a shorter interval between releases is less painful."

So the public release will most likely take a harder hit on the delay and since book 1 ended on a rather, to quote founders: "brutal and/or painful cliffhanger", it's going to be an angsty wait. 

Book 1 will be remastered, with different shading and textures mostly but no additional scenes, this serves newcomers and those who want to run another playthrough with a better visual experience as well as attract new audiences with more pleasing previews.

Estimated timeline:

May 29-30 - Book 2: Chapter 12 Exclusive Release.
June 3-4? - Book 2 Chapter:12 Public Release, this will be tentative.

Book 2: Chapter 13's release dates will remain unchanged.
Remastered book 1 = No definite date, but we're aiming before Book 2: Chapter 13.

TL;DR: No long-ass hiatus will happen again, EO is a scaredy-cat, Ch13 schedule is still as is, and Book 1 will be remastered.

Have a great day everyone. -LO
