Phew
What a week it has been. It has felt like a blur since last Friday.
Thank you all for your support and engagement during the release week! The reactions, support, and chats have been overwhelming and humbling. I hope you felt the long wait was worth it.
I'm incredibly proud of what I produced, and I want to thank you once again for your trust and patience during the last development cycle. 2024 was the worst year of my life, but we made it through development together.
State of v0.11.1
As of v0.11.1, the game seems stable. The bugs that have been reported since are minor and do not warrant any immediate patching. If you haven't upgraded your game from v0.11.0, I recommend that you do it. If you find more bugs, just let me know. The easiest way to report them is on my Discord server.
Common questions
One of the most common questions I'm getting now is about the release date of the guide for episode 11. As always, the guide will be written sometime after March 21, when the last tier has access to the patch.
Another common question concerns the yearly Q&A post. I will soon post the yearly Q&A submission post, where you can submit any questions you have about my games and game development. If you're interested, you can read last year's two-parter Q&A here:

What I'll be working on
Right now, I'm spending time fixing any lingering typos/bugs, etc., and making sure players get help with any issues. When I get the chance, I'm also working on episode 12. After a couple of weeks or so, I will fully shift my focus back to the game development of episode 12 (v0.12.0).
The first Status update of episode 12 will be in April. I need some time to get organized while juggling different tasks. When the episode 11 release cycle is completely done, I plan on taking the following weekends off to catch a breather, celebrate the release, and catch up with friends. Then, I'll continue working as usual.
You can rest assured that PCs haven't spent a single day idle since episode 11 was completely rendered and that progress on episode 12 is being made daily.
I'll tell you all about it in the first Status update for Episode (freaking) 12. It's astounding how far we have come.
Special thanks
I'd like to give a shout-out to Monniponi for the water-colored art I commissioned for episode 11. Monniponi's art made it possible to create the fairytale scene in the way I always envisioned. I'm sure those of you who have played know which scene I'm referring to.

Another huge thanks to the beta testers who helped make this the smoothest release so far.
And thanks to the Discord admins and moderators for helping out during the release weekend.
I'm blessed to have such a wonderful team and fanbase supporting me.
Love
