HTML Hope and the Last Star [v0.3] [HopeDev]

[Penitensary]

The real bottlenecks right now are time and biting more than I could chew programing-wise. A tale as old as time, really.
The thing is, I started the game with more free time than I have right now, and I can't really do much about that. I don't want to give false hopes (see what i did there?), I don't think I could manage the writing and programming pace of the first months.
A proofreader would be helpful since english is not my first (nor second) language, as you all can probably see, but it would not speed the development time in a meaningful way. So, maybe I'll shoot you a message sometime to see if you're still interested, but not right now. Thanks anyway.

But I have to say, the fact that people are still interested is super motivating, so I see what I can do.

A great message, and I would lie if I told you that this man YT shorts aren't part of the reason this game exist at all xD
But I don't think other peoples expectations affect me much when doing this, I genuinely believed when I started that I was the only one interested in a story like this.

I bet this is one time in life where you're happy you found out you were wrong? xD

Na, I'm usually wrong, I'm pretty used to it at this point xD

Anyway, I guess we're back in business...

Well, in a surprising turn of events, I bit more than I could chew. Shocking, I know.
Also I had an awful couple of months with work related stuff, but you don't care about that, it should be fine from now on.

Excuses aside, next update will have a new jump in space with the corresponding mission of-ship to a new and (hoppefuly) interesting zone. The new mission will be les lineal than the ones before, and honestly, could be its own smaller side-game.
I allready writed a chunk of it, but the thing with non linear stories is that you have to write all the lines anyway, so more time is needed, sorry.
All in all, I think that the two or tree players that I'll still have by the time I finish, will like it (I hope).

I aim for a release in a month (But I said that before, so will see).

Hey thats work and life. No need to worry about promising release dates, just do what your heart tells you. Take care of yourself first

Take all the time you need. Obviously I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, just knowing you're still working on it is enough. I'm looking forward to it, whether it's here before Xmas or after.

Ok, I would need for you people to stop being nice to me or I would be forced to work more on the game.
Stop it.

<Being nice></Being nice, actually failing at it XD>

Seriously, don't worry about expectations or disappointing people. There's some set of people that look forward to your next release, someday, don't worry about when you get to it.
And while we might be an be extremely small set of people (comparatively), we like the game and themes. If your aim is to someday attract a "viable" audience, large enough such that it generates a large enough amount of money that the game will finance itself... I don't think it's viable, but I also don't think that's your aim. You were doubtful that anyone was interested in your fantasies: Doubt not, people are

I mean, it would be nice to have money for a change, but I asume a text-only smut game about a sexy robot in space would not be the big break for me xD

Hey, if you want to be forced into a planned schedule with regular performance reviews, that i believe is called an office job, not a hobby

Sorry, I like you and the game too much. I'm looking forward to the next section, however long it takes!
