Author’s Corner: I'm super stoked for us to release 0.4F ASAP so that I can turn my focus towards 0.5 and the spy stuff. Who would have thought that in the first 6 months or so this game would flesh out the Prologue/Character Creator, get into spying and that's not to mention getting to Bangkok!
Currently, I'm working on the final College arc where Claire takes a job. It's ac...
2023-11-13 15:10:20 +0000 UTC View PostWe're nearing the end of the 0.4 off-content cycle. And that means we'll be getting to extended Prologue (Gap Year > College; Gap Year > Act I; College > Act I) as well as jumping into the spy-scape of Act I!
Features:
Here's the Alpha of 0.4. What's in it?
Change log (non-Bugfixes)
Author’s Corner - So, I wanted to take you on a journey of how I decide to write what I write.
The 0.4 Sneak went live last night, which also means some of the UX/UI and coding changes went into effect for the 0.3 version as well.
I wanted to share with you all the final version of 0.3, which includes those changes while doesn't have the 0.4 content yet, but that will get shared as we release additional versions A, B, F.
Thank you for all the comments and suggestions on where things are too difficult or confusing -- we're always iterating. And on that note:...
2023-10-24 14:49:06 +0000 UTC View PostWith this version, you should be able to play the game from Character Creation through to Act I of the main game, or take a detour and either enjoy a Gap Year -- with a new, Backpacker Arc -- or College.
This also comprises all the code fixes, UX and UI improvements and suggestions (lesbian Claire anyone?) from the community that have been implemented.
Thanks for playing it and please let us know your thoughts!
What's on track for the final release of (0.4)?
Dev Highlights - We all magically got caught up in the first week of October.

Will we move forward with HD art or keep it pixelated?
Let us know on the Discord poll! =)

2023-09-04 14:34:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe Public version of 0.3 is live! This is a partial version of 0.3, without all the content of the releases our other releases have been. Eventually, other versions will be released with additional content that closes in on what has been in 0.3sneak, Alpha, and Beta (and soon to be Final).
Blue Swallow is now playable online AND ON MOBILE and can be played on itch.io at https://blueswallow.itc...
2023-09-02 13:53:47 +0000 UTC View PostSo, we're coming upon the end of the 0.3 cycle. Yay!
And that means we're heading into the 0.4 cycle. Double Yay!
I've got things lined up for additional content during that next bit of work, but I'd really like there to be **more** content. And the only way that can happen is by you telling me what you want.
Come onto the Discord and tell me what you're looking to see added in the following areas:

Big thanks to our subscribers who provided tons of feedback on day-0!
2023-08-23 17:36:10 +0000 UTC View PostHere it is, thank you for your support and patience.
Look forward to your thoughts, comments (and yes, even bugs).
2023-08-21 02:21:18 +0000 UTC View PostLike the many stories of ancient times the best ones are told around a roaring fire. Our ideas and writing for this story we like to push the boundaries much like our asset from this great epic tale of a game. Electrical lines easily singed by the tips of a hot fire or completely surrounding a booming blaze with huge wooden barns. Basically our writers, coders, and artists burn hot fire and we don’t care if we burn the mother fucker to the ground as we seek to light your imaginations ...

I’m stoked that we’re getting to the end of the ‘character creation’ process and into the meat of the story. I’m also really excited to begin letting you, our players, influence what gets added and changed.

Thanks for your patience!
It's a big release and I hope you enjoy it.
The Beta will release at some point in the next 10 days and then the Final at the end of the month.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and comments in the Discord!
2023-08-09 21:12:53 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, a little bit of clickbait.
0.3A will be released tomorrow. We're in the midst of cleaning up the last bits of coding, adding in some more art assets and ensuring it's as playable as possible.
So what happens next?
Hey there!
Sorry for the day delay on the progress update, I was heads down trying to get the early access version done so that I could release by today and move on to getting Alpha out hopefully this week.
If you have access to the early access, check the post to see the updated file and enjoy.
I look forward to releasing alpha to the majority of our subscribers ASAP!
Thank you again for your support
2023-08-01 03:22:16 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here's the sneak peek!
This should be a rolling sneak peek as I backfill the portions that are currently 'gaps'.
So there will be additional versioning sent out as I complete any of the following:
Once I complete College, the Alpha will go live. Look forward to your thoughts, comments and responses!
So we're releasing the Sneak Peek to our higher tier patrons.
This is 0.3 pre-alpha. A look at what's been added and what's coming, but it's not 'complete':
College kept growing so I cut the link out for now and will be added in with 0.3A;
There are paths in the Gap Year and Act I arcs that are not available yet
The latter will be added in and probably partially released as they're ready during this sneak peek period to these patrons.
0.3A will be released once Col...
