Book 2: Chapter 13 Public Release + Schedule
🕑 Added 2022-06-24 12:15:41 +0000 UTCChapter 13 - How much do you love me?
Patrons who have played and read the exclusive release, kindly read until the release schedule part.
For paid users who haven't played chapter 13 yet, download this one instead. Little changes; only gallery and typo fixes were done.
I'm sure everyone is excited to play this chapter due to that dreadful cliffhanger the devs left us with in chapter 12 so here it is! This is going to be a long post regarding the development, progression, and whatnot so feel free to skip to the download links if you want to.
I got to say this though, the economic downturn has gotten me taking hit after hit and it's left me reeling quite badly, so making this game has been a really good outlet and opportunity to get away from everything. So everyone who has supported or is supporting us, I sincerely and utterly thank you from the bottom of whatever I have pumping blood inside of me. Making games has been a dream for us as well, so I hope we grow enough to do better and more extensive games in the future.
Apologies for the schedule being ajar but I assure everyone that I'm doing my best to stay true to it so I'll try to make the estimated release dates a bit flexible and with that in mind I post this.
July 9 - 13 - Chapter 14 Exclusive Release
July 14 - 20 - Chapter 14 Public Release
August 1 - August 5 - Chapter 15 Exclusive Release
August 12 - August - 16 - Chapter 15 Public Release
Chapter 15 will be huge in scope so that's how far I'll be able to post the schedule.
Polls, Wallpapers, and Exclusive Rewards, in general, will be done in between.

Okay, regarding the update:
Let's start by saying this was an extremely challenging chapter to make and it managed to teach me a thing or two and also made us realize how much room we could still grow in, so that's awesome; we'll definitely continue to do so!
Apologies for the delay once again, I feel like I'm saying this a lot, but I do mean it. The reason the delay happens is because of "my want" to present the game to you as best as I could, although I need to change scheduling fixed dates because I know it gets annoying when they're not met.
So, what happened? Chapter 13 is massive, chapters 11 and 12 were already sizeable but still, see the comparison below:
Chapter 11: 826 renders, 13 animations
Chapter 12: 712 renders, 13 animations
Chapter 13: 895 renders, 51 animations!
Discarded renders and animations are excluded and there are a lot.
Yes, the story is written; the whole storyboard is set from start to finish.
However, when the final writing of the scenes that are to be set in the chapter is being made, I start getting more ideas, I start having more fun; then momentum leads to expansion of the scenes. I'll post a somewhat more detailed explanation of this in the behind-the-scenes section.
The storyboard for chapter 13 wasn't that long, it was at least equal to the 2 previous chapters but poof it became that way, and not to toot my own horn but I love how this chapter turned out, I hope you do too. What's got me slightly nervous is hoping I could match this chapter's quality or surpass it, but I do have more cards up my sleeve, so ease that worry.
So is it worth the wait? You tell me:

Thank you, everyone! I hope you stay with us till the story ends, whether you continue supporting us or not. I love having our story told and we appreciate you liking it.
