Realm 2 - Progress Update and Steam Release

Hey everyone,

We want to give you a quick update on where we are with Realm 2 and the release on Steam.

Regarding Steam, we have decided to push the release until August/September. A specific release date will be announced closer to the time. As we've mentioned, we lost our previous developer, which was a setback for us. Now with our current developer, we're working on the save export system, allowing you to export your saves safely to Realm 3.

We have also drastically raised the image and animation quality since "Update 7", and we're now working on changing the light of the previous Updates. We've posed all the renders, and half of the process explained in last week's progress update is complete. However, we made the final Update of Realm 2 longer (we have added more than 300 renders and five animations to the ones planned originally), which pushed back our ability to start reworking the previous updates.

We don't regret it, as we think they will drastically improve the last update. However, we apologise for the delay that it will cause.

Regarding the final Realm 2 Patreon release:

• We have finalised the images for the update and only have one more animation to complete.
• We need to implement the images in the code, add all the animations, and ensure everything matches the dialogue.
• Add other extras, such as gallery entries/trophies.
• Finalise the save export system. We must test this thoroughly to ensure everything moves across correctly to Realm 3. We need to get this right to avoid any loss of progress for players.
• The game will then need to be play tested by others, including using the Realm 3 launcher to ensure this exports correctly.

Overall, the grand finale of Realm 2 should be on Patreon in early July.

Thanks for your ongoing support. It means a lot to us. Have a great day, everyone!
