'The Library Story' ver 0.95 Release Date
🕑 Added 2019-09-01 15:27:46 +0000 UTC
Hello friends!
We've done a lot of preparatory and basic work on LS this month and finally we can tell you the exact release date for 'The Library Story' 0.95. As we've already said, this will be a really big version, where, in addition to a bunch of new content, existing game mechanics will be rethought. There is supposed to be many changes - from the concept of hunting and combat system to storylines and quests. Most importantly, it will be the basis for the upcoming 1.0 version of the game. We’ll finally put in order all the content that's already implemented in the game and add more.
So... Go straight to the point:
December 20, 2019 - 'The Library Story' 0.95 release for patrons
January 4, 2020 - Public release
We plan to finish the main work on the game by mid-November, and spend the rest of the time on testing and fixing. This time it will be necessary to test the whole game from start to finish, so it will be hot days (which is not so bad, given our weather in autumn:)).
In general 'The Library Story' 0.95 is a major milestone in the history of our game. We really want to do it as good as we can. So if you like our story and its characters, and you want to see the continuation - wait a little more, friends. LS 0.95 will be the beginning of the finish line to version 1.0, so we just can't release it unfinished. Thank you for understanding!
And, of course, great thanks for your support! We'll try our best to ensure that the result of this long work on 0.95 doesn't disappoint you, guys.
And now we will do a little magic trick: use the Ball of Predictions (the one from the magic laboratory - and yes, at 0.95 it will play an important role, finally). Hmm... We see... We see questions! And immediately we will give answers to them.
So, attention, a special predictive FAQ!
Q: Hey, you spent a hell of a lot of time on this version. What the heck?
A: You are absolutely right, mate. We've really spent on 0.95 tons of time. It happened because we've done did (and still doing before the release) a huge amount of work. This is a very important version for our game, so we took extra time. After all, we must make sure that we will do LS 0.95 as good as we can and... Stop. It seems we've already said that? And also, of course, our life affects the timing as well, but this is less interesting.
Q: And what, after 0.95 we will have to wait the same until the next version?
A: Absolutely not. We definitely will no longer get involved in such large-scale remaking of what has already been done.
After 0.95, we plan to release a series of medium-sized updates in 2020 that's supposed to consist of 90% new content. No alteration of game mechanics or adding new ones. Only new quests, events and plot development. It would be foolish to point a kind of deadlines for these post-0.95 updates now. But they will certainly take much less time.
Q: When will Gaston fuck Belle, and then he has... [here is a whole list of quotes from the Kama Sutra]?!
A: No spoilers. But at 0.95 the plot will be greatly developed. And since the plot is tied to the relationship between Belle and Gaston, then... In general, our answer is "Yes." ^__^
Q: You used to talk about some vacancies ...
A: Closer to the release, we will need proofreaders who're interested in rereading English texts and knowing before anyone what will happen at 0.95. So if English is your native language, you love to read and you are interested in such an opportunity - write to us in the PM.
We will also need beta-testers... many beta-testers! But we will write about this in due time.
And finally, if you suddenly speak Russian and English equally well and would like to participate in the creation of 'The Library Story'... Well, you know - write us to the PM or at xallat8@yandex.ru! And yes, we cheated a little, we did not see this question in a magic ball, but added it ourselves. :D
