Turning the Page [v0.19.1] ($5) Game Access Release & a Special Announcement!
🕑 Added 2024-03-10 17:46:36 +0000 UTCHey everyone! 😊
Today is the release for our Game Access patrons, but not just that! We have a bit of an important announcement right after the link:
So, what is this announcement you might ask?
Well, the last few months have been rather tumultuous for us, but coming out of it, we have a fire in our bellies. A fire to improve what we are doing, both for us as creators and you as patrons. We wanted to experiment a bit with how we show the netorare content of our games, as well as improve our work flow and release schedule. The length of many of our updates is rather long, which has made testing them a pretty demanding and soul-sucking process. Also, for the players such as yourself, we feel that the experience might feel better if there was a little more breathing room between seeing things from Felix and Sophie's point of view.
As a result, what we have decided is that we want to release Turning the Page twice a month. The updates obviously won't be as large as they currently are. That would kind of be crazy. Instead, they will each be about half as long as the ones we currently release. In addition, we will be prioritizing the Felix story first, so that the NTR fans among you will be able to experience his POV first and get to contemplate what he experienced, and maybe wonder what Sophie is up to.
A month's worth of updates will generally look like the following:
• First update: All of Felix's story for the month followed by the first bit of Sophie's.
• Second update: The rest of Sophie's story.
To put it in terms of CGs, the first update will have all of Felix’s art + 1 CG from Sophie's POV, and the second update will have the remaining Sophie art.
We plan on releasing one of these updates earlier in the month, roughly when we uploaded this month's release, followed by another one later in the month, roughly when we previously uploaded our updates.
Now, when will we implement this? While we know we already gave you a big update this month, we feel bad about missing last month, and we are really close to having the next one ready, so... you get more THIS MONTH! 😁
Here is the progress for v0.20.0:
Writing : 60%
CGs : 1/???
Coding : 60%
Music and SFX : 60%
Proofreading : 15%
Release is scheduled for March 20th.
That's all for now!
Hope you are doing well, have a good week! 😊

I agree with this reasoning and as long as it helps your work load, I'm all for it. And as I said in the first post, I can just play the second patch of the month if I'm not interested in the first one, so as long as the team finds this is a good change, then I'm all for it as well. Can't wait for the next update!

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! We're doing this basically for two reasons. To improve players' experience regarding upcoming scenes, especially for those who play both POVs, but also to help us organize our work better. Handling huge updates was getting very difficult and started taking its toll in terms of fatigue. Splitting them will make it easier to handle every part of the production process.

I'm not the biggest fan of twice a month update schedule, but I can just wait the full month and get the full months content all at once, so I don't see any issues with this.I do worry a bit that pushing for two releases a month might create some additional work which doesn't translate to more content, but I trust you guys. Keep up the good work!
