You do realise there is a reason why i can read the Patreon only posts, right?How dare they spend time and energy into a project which we get to enjoy for free.
Hint: You can not enjoy these for free.

Yes, but afterwards like the old carnival, when you had no other choice but tell something. We CD fans remember well your promises a la "no impact on the development of CD", which turned out to be all(!) broken. And several of them were lies from the start in hindsight.It's been stated several times, including in this thread, that RD is the main priority due to it being on Steam.
I've enjoyed both games, and you've found Casual Desires at a good time. IonDivvy finally managed to get Steam approval for it (Steam can be very uninformative about why a game is rejected, so can take a lot of trial and error to figure out what you need to remove/change), so sounds like they expect to finally get back to updates soon after a long delay.I don't usually write in these places but I must say that I have tried some games and I have practically never reached the end. Almost none of them manage to get me hooked on the story and options. I don't mean to say they were bad, I guess they weren't what I was looking for. Until I found Casual Desires.
I loved the different routes, the personality of each character and the future you can go to for each. I had to play it several times to better understand the reason for some scenes, and I think it's well done considering the difficulty it has. I must add that I have thought about what the next chapters might be like and I'm terrified to think about the map of options that ionDivvy has to manage.
We definitely want more! and seeing that there is a 2nd game I thought "wow, this one will evolve slower". But as a developer and sometimes a writer, I see the work behind it and I don't see the problem. When you finish a book, you know it will take a few years for the next part to appear (if it ever comes!), and you just accept it because 1 person has the time he has, and it's normal to want to try other stories in parallel.
So for my part I can only say: Thanks!, and be afraid of wanting to try the Rebel Duet.
There's a progress update posted on Patreon, anyone have access to read it? Does it give a timeline or should I just check back in June?
Thats it regarding CD.Casual Desires
Full-time development has resumed now that v0.11 of RD has released. I've spent the past couple days getting back into the swing of things, and improving parts of the UI, such as the fonts which I felt were a bit too bland.
I'm considering moving a few of the expanded scenes to the next update (v0.21), since Chapter 20 has taken far too long already. My main priority is to just release it ASAP because the longer it takes, the harder it is for me to work on it.
So, you can expect to play the new chapter by mid-March. After this, CD will be returning to a regular release schedule until it concludes in Q3/Q4 2026.
Thanks for the post about the state of CD development. And Iondivvy was once again exposed to be a liar. " you can expect to play the new chapter by mid-March" is obviously not the fact. But then again Iondivvy is a serial liar, I am curious what the lame excuse will be this time.Thats it regarding CD.
Lets see it if the timeline is real this time.....
Thanks again! How very surprising this new delay - NOT! By the hangman, even "the Typist", who is infamous for his blowing of release dates, is quicker in releasing new stuff! How about a bet that Iondivvy will also blow this new release date?View attachment 4692744
