2022

Assuming you read the first part, you can probably guess what the main topic's in the near future are.

Animation

I can't and won't promise anything in this regard. The only thing that I do promise, is that it's an extremely important topic for me. I want us to do well there and I will do what I can, for us to get where we need to and more. But I rather have a good story, beautiful renders without animations, than animations that rip you out of the immersion.

Communication

Discord
I've let someone set us up a discord and my initial plan was to unveil it for this new year. Sadly it's not any good, but it helped shape some ideas of what could be a great place to be.
I've added a small document as an overview over functionality planned (I hope everything can be done). If you have any good idea, how to make it better, please do not hesitate to write me.
I will give this out as contract for someone to make the discord server as per description on Sunday evening, because I simply don't have the time/desire to do it myself.

Twitter
We started using twitter, I evade social media in my personal life, but I see the necessity for us in it. This account is and will be connected to discord. So you won't miss anything if you are on discord.

Tiers
Tiers will be unlocked within the next few weeks/months and accordingly their benefits will come into place. Some benefits might be reshaped a bit, but nothing drastic.
Until everything is properly unlocked, the lowest tier gets game update's as well.
Afterwards that will change.

You
If you can read this, you are a patron. I will always try to be as transparent as possible with you. If there is anything you want to know, do not hesitate to ask.

Developing Terror

Our character descriptions are in regards to their word count, about as big as the whole Hello World game. We have a small novel in size, just for background stories, likes, dislikes etc.

This is me, explaining the plot to the team.

We are doing everything we can, to do it right. I can't give you a date, when we'll release.
But we are learning, we are getting faster, we are getting better.
And that is kind of what I want our DNA to be. I realize that we are already on a quality level that set's us apart. But to not be satisfied, to push ourselves further, to learn, I want this to be in our blood. 

All that being said, we are still quite new, even if you consider our training period. So things will take time. But I do hope you have some understanding of how I operate.

Enough, for some of you there is probably already fireworks.

Have a great celebration and a great year 2022!
