Hi everyone,
The Entrepreneur Complete edition has been in early release for almost a month now, and we're close to the Steam release.
I've spent the last days since I came back in Ireland working on it, and there's only a few points to fix before the Steam release happens.
- Script errors: After collecting all the issues mentioned, I've corrected the script.
There shouldn't be any issue with the new script now, and you should get the endings your decisions lead you towards.
- Music: After exchanging for days with my music provider, they've agreed to extend the limit of songs I'm able to download per month, and I've now successfully replaced the music of the first, second, and fourth episode. I intend to finish the third episode tomorrow.
- Playthrough: Thanks to the help of Kermit, a supporter and fan of the game for a long time now, the playthrough will soon be completed.
- Steam preparations: This was probably the weariest part of preparing the release of The Entrepreneur on Steam, all the tax certifications, the images to create, the trailer, etc... We're still not 100% done regarding this part, but everything I could do on my end is almost entirely done. I've hired somebody to create the trailer of The Entrepreneur for me as I believed they would do a much better job than I would.
The way Steam works, I will need to upload the game and from the moment it is "online", Steam will review it, and if everything complies with their guidelines and policies, 14 days after the upload I will be able to release it to the public.
The issue is, unless I have the trailer and the Playthrough done, which will be DLC, downloadable content, I can't upload the game on Steam to have it reviewed. We're depending on those elements for me to be able to give you a date for the Steam release.
Realistically speaking though, it will be in August. But whether it will happen mid august, or towards the end of August, only time will tell.
Once again, I want to thank those who took the time to join my discord and notify me of those issues present in the game so I could fix them as fast as possible.
Therefore, it also brings me to change something regarding The Entrepreneur on Patreon.
Once the music will be fixed tomorrow, I will test the game again, to make sure the game is free of bugs and issues.
Then, I will upload the new version of The Entrepreneur Final Edition on Patreon, the same one that will be on Steam. I decided to leave this version for the 5$ tier and up for the rest of the month.
On August the 1st, it will be available to 10$ tier and up.
On another note, I started working on my second game. While I was on holidays, I still took the time to work on my laptop, creating the story, the characters and their background, planning the first episode with every events, like I used to do for The Entrepreneur.
Because it is my second game, I want to make sure I gather all the experience I got from The Entrepreneur and put it into a much larger, better game.
I won't get into too much details about the second game for now, but soon, very soon, I will start sharing about it.
Anyways, I wish you a good day, and I'll talk to you soon.
