Hello everyone! I was supposed to release a devlog today, but I'm bringing some different information, perhaps more positive
Next month (May), I'll release Chapter 1. I won't give an exact date, but you can partially count on May 30
(I'll explain the reason below)
Currently, I have the last 3 scenes in the render queue, with 2 being completely new and not present in the old version. I still have a bit longer list of images to render as "extra content" + rewards, but that's nothing too demanding
For now, I won't give precise info on how much content Chapter 1 offers because I still need to add/create/render some stuff, but I can at least give
approximate numbers:
- Images: something around 1,200 (maybe 1,300)
- Choices: 28 (all of them leading to some outcome)
- Writing: 19,045 words (so far - 15% of the script isn't coded yet)
- Animations: 5,877 frames/images (including two cinematics, one of which is on

Even though I haven't finished everything yet, I can say with a clear conscience that the
new Chapter 1 is twice the size of the old version, not to mention the animations
What can I tell you? I'm cooking!
So, the reason why I would like to release it on May 30 is:
Next month will see many big game updates, and I consider it unnecessary for a small developer like me to squeeze in between them. After all, let's not kid ourselves - 99% of players will prefer their favorite game. There's nothing wrong with that (let's be clear), but I would just be robbing myself of potential attention that I could gain outside of these updates. At the same time, I set this date with a big lead time in case something goes wrong, so at least I don't have to delay
The release will follow the old rules - Chapter 1 will be free.
However, I thank everyone who joins here even without having to pay for the game
As you know, I'm pretty active, whether on

or on Patreon. However, I'd like to say that I won't be making any more devlogs until the release. I want to focus on finishing now, and besides, I'd have to start delving into spoilers if I wanted to show you anything, which I definitely don't want to do. I'll still be active, but I'll take a bit of a break in this part of my duties. I hope no one is offended and you understand
PS: Before the release, I'll still publish some more precise info regarding the update, and it's possible that the date may change and be sooner. However, for now, what I said still stands
Stafe safe out there and thank you for your support!
