May Progress Update
🕑 Added 2024-06-01 13:34:37 +0000 UTCHello there everyone! Little late but May was a month of big decisions for us, particularly on the topic of financial sourcing for this project, so far a vast majority of this project's funding has come out of Empress and I's pockets (or the imperial treasury if you will) with income from you all being able to supplement the strain this puts on us from being able to get fair pay to the talented members of the team involved in bringing our vision to light. During May however we all had to sit down and discuss in very serious terms the sustainability of how we were going about funding it beforehand, and we came to the decision to do two major things for the game and its funding:
Slow down the development process and take our time with chapters more, this will likely translate to a one chapter a year policy in the short term while we rebalance our books as we move onto different stages of our lives, granted chapter 2 is spoken for in terms of funds so don't worry there!
Focus on building this Patreon and giving you all more of a reason to support the game and make benefits more tangible for those who want to see Re:Strain be made like all of us.
For that reason we'd like to ask you all what would you like to see more of from this page? Whether it is more content of the kind we're currently showing, or a different sort of nature, we are open to the thoughts of anyone who wants to put in their piece.
Additionally here is what we have done for Chapter 2!
Chapter 2's maps are all nearing completion for MVP, with only a few of the maps for say lairs and one-offs to be complete
A little bit of extra flair on the puzzles and interesting areas is being complete in terms of programming
The Overworld sprites are being adapted to reflect this
I hope you are as excited as we are for the future and what Chapter 2 holds! Look forward to it all!

If anyone is like me, they were drawn into this project because its cute and peril themed, so maybe a good patreon idea would be polls for particular kind of situations/perils the duo could end up in that fit the theme and are funny/novel?
