An update on the second release of Shale Hill Secrets
🕑 Added 2021-05-31 22:21:38 +0000 UTCAbout eight weeks have passed since the first release of Shall Hill Secrets, meaning we are getting very close to the second installment. The episode is basically 99% done, and we are currently working hard at polish, doing testing and implementing some last minute fixes.
Our original plan was to get a build ready today - since historically we release things on the last day of the month -, but we drastically underestimated how big this update is. After two months in the oven, this game is a lot denser and more complicated than the average DH episode.

We’ve prepared a big surprise for this episode based on the feedback we received from the survey we ran a few months ago, and we’re very excited about it! This release will definitely highlight better the features we have in mind for the project and show how things will evolve over time.
Please, hold tight! We need a little more time to put everything together and make sure the build is stable. We promise the wait will be worth it! We’re at full throttle and we’re confident we’ll get it ready for this weekend. As it’s only fair, May supporters that can’t renew their pledge for June will still receive the game via a Patreon message.
Note: The bonus scene including a special night in with Emily has been released to Platinum+ patrons, it can be downloaded here!
We really appreciate your support and patience. Thanks for making this game possible!
Stay safe,
The Love-Joint Team.

Well it's almost 6 pm here, i don't know the timezone of devs. But, something tells me the update is going to be available tomorrow (at least for me =P)

Exactly and that was delayed three times.🙄

A great example of that was cyberpunk.

Patience is a virtue. As eager as i am for the release i dont mind waiting everytime. At least we know it will be complete and working properly. Major Game Developers always release an unfinished game to meet a deadline and it usually has bugs and problems.

all good - i know - i'm just wanted to say how really hyped i am :D

It'll be released today. The chapter is very long and it took testers a lot longer than anticipated.

Huh? I didn't even see the first one. Seems like I misunderstood the topics of previous posts

Release broken stuff is the norm in the industry. We are so silly :P

You guys will never make it in the tripple A market, polishing and fixing stuff before releasing them. WTF is wrong with you guys, i can't believe i am supporting this :D

At this moment the "bonus scene" is a pack of 4k resolution images that are completely independent from the main game. In short: is not a in-game scene. We want the game to be the same for both Gold and Platinum supporters. We don't want to create a "second class" experience for those that can't pledge more. That said, we have several improvements coming to the Platinum tier... Stay tuned!

I have a question about the bonus scene, will this bonus scene be released together within the 2nd update or are they independent from each other? I look forward to the upcoming update!
