First off, a warm welcome to all new patrons, I really appreciate your support!
I loved the week that just passed, it was very different and frankly overwhelming. I had to work a bit on the Steam release of Acting Lessons that I'm very happy with.
And I had a lot of time to polish Being a DIK. I have done crazy amounts of work on just about everything in the game.
You will find it very different in terms of design and I have never been this satisfied with the look of the game as I am right now.
The episode will be released in August. We are currently waiting on ~10 animations to render to completion.
Proofreading has already been carried out and when almost all animations have been rendered, beta testing will start. I estimate beta testing to start sometime next week.
The testers will have a lot to test before release, but it will not take longer than 2 weeks for this process to complete. During this time I will also fix the bugs and errors they find.
Meanwhile, I will work on some further improvements on the game, but I have already started writing Episode 4, which is the final episode of the Season (It's not called a Chapter anymore and there's some exciting news in the near future about this).
Sadly, I'll go back to my IRL job next week after these wonderful weeks of vacation.
Today I wanted to tease the Changelog of the new update. It will likely change a little bit more before release.
