April Release Plans

Hello everyone, another month and another set of release plans! We finished up last month strong by completing the production release (since the alpha and beta phase were sort of blended together, it's version 1.0), and resubmitting the Steam store page for review a few days ago and I'm fairly confident it will be approved this time. I'm hoping to have 69 Days After live on Steam some time in May after the store page has had a chance to get some attention.

I'll also be continuing work on MGG and some of the stuff I had going on in the background that had to go on the backburner for a little bit, namely the Engine based stuff (new terrain system and migration to UE5). Beyond that I'd also like to start laying the foundation for clothing options, and held items by the Monsters. Starting with the held item, which will let you give an Item to your Monster, the effect varying depending on what you give them. For example, you could prime them with a Health potion that they will use when their health is low, or give them an item to speed up the process of producing species items.

I would also like to start working on the RogueLove Steam page in advance this time, since I've come to remember how long the review process can be. I'd also like to fix up a few boss fights that don't feel quite right, which I've been meaning to do for a while now. For some fights this will include adding new moves, ideally with new Animations especially in the case of adding ero attacks.

I may also do a little work on Holstaur Milk Ranch somewhere in between, if I can fit it in. I have some ideas for Level 2 I'd like to start adding/testing.
