April 2023 Plans
🕑 Added 2023-04-02 15:00:04 +0000 UTCTime & Next Release
The last two weeks of April are going to be chaotic, as I'm moving among other things I need to handle.
Because of this, the next release may be early/mid May, or I might do a much earlier one if some content is ready. Not sure yet!
If you want frequent updates, I do a (nearly) daily status updates for the game on Discord! http://discord.gg/EZkjM8cftg
Time for Celebration!
The main route polish is complete! WOO! Thank all of you for your patience while I did that work!
I now consider the main routes in release-ready state, so please report anything at all that looks wrong, even if it's just a typo.
I am sorry tasks got shuffled around. I wanted to do new content along with the polish, but life unexpectedly got in the way and laughed at all my plans.
Target Release?
So, the target release is(/was?) Q2 (April-June). I'm hoping to still make this window, probably in June, but I confess I'm nervous about it! Because of the personal stuff, essentially I'm losing a full month of work on the game I was not anticipating.
So time to take inventory! What's left before release?
Writing To Do
- What Ifs (2 min per character): 1 each for Julian and Brandon. 2 for Quinn.
- Side Stories/Holiday Stories (4 min per character): 2 + a rewrite for Julian, 2 each for Brandon and Quinn.
- Various mini stories for all characters. (Undecided on the min yet.)
- The final chapter for Particles
Game Changes
- Polish for the side content and Particles world
- Add achievements for What If stories
- Add in some more sprite tweaks
- A big handful of some backend coding and cleanup tasks
- GUI improvements for those other menu screens like the Gallery
- Final testing
Admin Stuff
- Determine the Patreon members for the chalkboard in the café
- Figure out and arrange key delivery for Patreons
- Creating and distributing the builds for release
Overall, not too bad. I think it's doable as long as life doesn't throw me another curveball. (Knock on wood!)
So next top three priorities are:
- Write/program the new side content (side stories, what ifs, mini stories)
- Review, polish, and finish the Particles chapters
- Finish adding in the sprite tweaks
Side note on Remembrance previews for Clairvoyant members:
The sprite artist for the game is still working on more of the sprite changes, but they've hit some hiccups in their schedule as well. As soon as I get more, I will share!
There are changes in queue for Sebastian, Alexander, and Monika.
Alright! New plan established, let's do it! :D I am so nervous but still incredibly excited that we're so close to release!
Thank all of you so much for your support, and your patience for the last couple months!
