Release plans leading into 2024!
🕑 Added 2023-11-13 19:57:05 +0000 UTCKinda a small post to toss out after our v0.20 pt 1 release last week! ^^" I think there's been some confusion as to what we have in mind for the next few months, how we're handling supporter vs public releases as we get things rolling again. I'd like to clear things up though.
Before we dive into showcasing our planned releases. I would like to be up front with our supporters that our next release is v0.20 pt 2, originally planned for Nov 18th. We are changing this to Nov 19th. (Probably not a big issue for many, but I overlooked that I'll be gone all day on the 18th.)
Okay, below is our schedule for releases, both supporter & public fans.
(Even if you're a inactive supporter who supported us in total of $5+ in past years. You should be receiving the v0.20 series of releases through Patreon Messages directly. If you know you qualify, but there's no message. Reach out to me, Patreon's filter system is a bit awkward.)
v0.20 pt 1 (Nov 7th - Supporters) (Dec 7th - Public)
-All sprite assets have been fully replaced and updated with their finalized art.
-New episode 5 splash screen art added.
-New music has been added to the title screen and other areas.
-Finalized gui text box has been added. (With on-screen button to hide/show text box)
-New sprite animation effects have been added to Episode 5.
-New transition effects have been added to Episode 5.
-Episode 5: Is there a Mystery Club? Has been added.
-Episode 5, Scene 1: Joey’s Harem Quest. Has been added.
v0.20 pt 2 (Nov 19th - Supporters) (Dec 19th - Public)

-Episode 5, Scene 9: Hoovernatch?
-Episode 5, Scene 10: The Sly Fox Arrives.

v0.21 (Late January - Supporters) (Late February - Public)
-Nova & Lola route episodes.
-Episode 1 quality of life fixes & additions. (sprite animation/effects, new transitions, sound direction fixes, new cg variants/outcomes, better pacing for choices/interaction, new scenes.)
I wanted to toss this out there once again, because I feel there has been some confusion for our public fans assuming we've forgot about them.. >.< It's just a very awkward period in trying to get everything equal once again between the supporter vs public releases with where we left off.
There's no perfect way in handling the releases above, but we're not playing favorites by any means. Supporters do technically get content to enjoy right now during November into December, but then that's it. They have to wait until at least the end of January for v0.21.
Public fans get their bulk of content during December into January on the flip side, but then they have to wait until roughly the end of February before v0.21 is out for them.
That's just how we're able to handle things as we get back on track. With v0.21 and v0.22, it'll finally equal everything back out once again between supporters and public fans. Each release from then forward should be every 30-40 days is our plan and looking at what v0.21 offers, that'll be the expectation with content forward. (Example: v0.22 would feature Miki & Bridget route episodes + Episode 2 quality of life fixes.)
Thank you all for understanding and being patient with us, we're not quite out of rough waters yet clearly. Just please keep that in mind with our plans to get us back on track for the new year. <3

XD Honestly between October and November, it's a lot of family birthday celebrations and get together events each weekend. This next weekend is busy, except for Sunday and then the following weekend we'll be gone for Saturday. Then finally, that'll be the end of the busy weekends for at least 2-3 weeks. :S I think pt 3 will be fine, but it clicked with me the other day that pt 2 would land on a day that we'll be out and maybe something unexpected could happen, but I'd rather just be safe and say "Nov 19th" for sure! :P Just a day difference and hopefully it'll be fun to see mentions with what's featured.

I was kinda thinking that scheduling for parts 2 and 3 could end up becoming a bit complicated due to Thanksgiving weekend...😏
