Quick Update: ETA Saturday-Sunday
🕑 Added 2018-08-11 04:38:50 +0000 UTC Greetings!Though there's still 2.5 hours of Friday left for me, it's clear that I won't be done by then. I'm thinking I'll be done tomorrow, but it could be as late as Sunday morning.
I posted this info in a comment to the previous thread, but I figured it was important enough for a separate post, so here it is: 0.6 will basically be released in two parts; the first part, which will hopefully go out tomorrow, and a second part, which will come out within 2 weeks of the first. Here's what you can expect:
0.6:
- All the H-scenes
- Recollection Room
- Bunny conversation portrait pics
- New Aekashics enemy graphics
- Credits
- The first 1/3 of the dungeon (the least interesting part, unfortunately)
- The story content that goes along with that dungeon content (probably 1/2 to 2/3 of 0.6 story content)
- The new classes
- New abilities for Ana and the PC
0.6.1 (or 0.6.2 if 0.6 needs a hotfix):
- The rest of the dungeon
- The rest of the story content
- Dungeon hard modes
- Revised Bunny portrait pics (not definite, but a strong possibility)
- Side quests (including the legendary starter)
To be clear, the place I'm ending story & dungeon content in 0.6 makes perfect sense within the context of the story; you won't be walking into an incomplete dungeon (or incomplete anything). I also want to make clear that a lot of the stuff for the second release is already done, I just won't be able to finish it by tomorrow.
Why am I splitting content like this? The short answer is that I feel a need to get something good out very soon, but I don't have what I feel is enough time to complete everything I wanted to in 0.6. I'm not willing to compromise on quality, so I decided to compromise on size/scope.
All this has gotten me thinking about how I'll be structuring updates in the future. I really, really want to move toward shorter release cycles (and I'm sure all of you do as well!). People in the business world have this concept of 'minimum viable product' - the set of features that must exist in a product for them to sell it and begin getting feedback for future development. I've been thinking lately about a sort of 'minimum viable release'. The constraints I'd be dealing with are:
- It must incorporate at least one H-scene
- It must advance the story in a logically coherent chunk
- Any content or areas introduced must be reasonably whole and complete (no half-finished stuff can make it into game)
I'll definitely be looking at 0.7's feature/content list with this in mind.
If anyone has any thoughts - particularly on the 'minimum viable release' idea - please let me know. I'm sorry for any disappointment, and I thank you for your continued patience!
I don't mean to play with your heart :(

Lol that's what sucks about it 'cause ..when you're -not- watching, sometimes great games are released, or Kickstarters are running that you miss out on
It'll be out when its ready, there is no hurry. Plus haven't your parents taught you, a watched game never releases? ^.^
It wouldn't be "late" if he/she didn't give a date of a release AGAIN.
There is no new announcement so i think maybe there is some problem that hapened

It was US West coast 4AM when you posted the question, so maybe in the next couple hours?
"As late as early morning". What time is "early morning" to you? Delayed again?
