This week we found ourselves confronted with completely absurd administrative problems, as France knows so well how to do. This has cost us precious time and forces us to review our plans for the end of the year.
We wanted to release episode 5 (v0.6.0) before Christmas but despite all our efforts to make up for lost time (Zack being sick, plugins that don't work, administration...) we won't be able to meet this goal.
But episode 5 is huge, it's the episode that will have the most content. That's why we decided to split episode 5 in two parts:
- The 1st part (v0.6.0), which will be released in December, will be equivalent to episode 3 in terms of content (which is the biggest episode so far) and will include the Dream Scene with Ellen and the ability tree.
- The 2nd part (v0.6.1) should be released in late January/early February and will be equivalent to episode 4 in terms of content (which is the second biggest episode so far). The Bonus scene (which we'll talk about later) and the Dream Battles will be in this part. Moreover, the nsfw illustration of Lana planned following the popularity contest will be replaced by a Dream Scene with Lana.
The scenario of episode 5 allows us to make this cut without it being too disruptive. You will be able to play each part when it's released or wait until both are released to play everything at once.
We're sorry we can't hold the initial objective, we hope that what is planned will suit you. This seems to us to be the best compromise to have a release in December. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments section or on Discord.
As we will focus on the first part of episode 5, the tests of the Dreams Battles and the ability tree will take place a little later in December.
Otherwise on the production side, we have finished two scenes, made the last changes related to the ability tree and started to work on the sound part.
Finally, the results of the vote for the bonus scene came down and after an incredible comeback, Blake is the winner with 70% of the votes (Holly 20%, Clover 10%, and Ellen 0%).
