The launch of 69 Days After on Steam has been approved! The date will be within the next few months, my publisher suggested I push the date a little while from the initial planned date to hopefully get a few more wishlists before the final launch.
Patreon support and Steam keys
I've decided every patron who has pledged at least 10 dollars (lifetime), or is currently subscribed to at least the Silver tier is entitled to a free Steam key as a thank you for your support, and making games like this possible.
I would like to automate handing out Steam keys but it would be a logistical nightmare, due to the number of people who have pledged over time, along with the concern of keys going to waste from people who won't end up claiming them. So all you need to do to claim your free key is to send me a message from the Patreon account you've been supporting from, and I will reply with a redeemable key as long as the account meets the conditions above.
The Future of 69 Days After
Now that 69 Days After has reached production release, it's likely that it won't receive updates as frequently as before. However, I want to state that I will always support bug fixes, and that this will not be the end of content for the game.
Moving forward I would like to release larger patches for the games which are complete. So while I'll continue to provide month-to-month updates for games which are in active production, games which are complete will receive fewer but larger content updates.
For 69 Days After this would include more photos of already existing events, new events with or without photos, and perhaps even an all-encompassing expansion one day.
