Hey everyone!
Wanted to use this time to talk about the holiday update as well as some of my main plans next year for House Chores!
== Release Date/Window ==
I want this update to release just in time for the holiday weekend. Ideally, having this update out for $5+ Patrons on Dec 17th would be great. If the artist needs a tad bit more time then I'll push it back by a few days if necessary. But Dec 17th-23rd is about when you can expect the $5+ Patron build and the public build to release!
The artwork is still underway so I'll have a solid release date announced soon either on here or on twitter!
== Holiday Content ==
Something I want to make sure is very clear with this update is that it will be very short! This is just meant to be a small little event for the holidays as well as a way to give Linda a fun extra 'moment' to share with the main character.
The holiday event itself won't contain a large questline so the added playtime of this update's gonna be short. But so far it's turning out to be a nice little charming event which is something I want House Chores to have plenty of when it's all complete!
== 2022 Plans ==
Right after this update, the beginning of Emily's story will be up next! I think her story will have a pretty unique 'gimmick' to it. Sort of like how Linda is chores and Julie is exercise. Emily's will probably be the most 'imaginative' one ;P
2022 will be a very fun year for House Chores. 2021 was the year HC finally got back into the swing of things with consistent releases and content in the later half. Moving forward, the core game could actually be finished in as little as 3/4 updates!
But after that, I want to look at expanding the neighborhood slightly with a few new characters & interactions. I recently asked in Discord what players would like to see when the 3 housemates have their main scenes complete. Whether that be an expansion, sequel, or new game in the same neighborhood. I'm still undecided but what I do know is I'd like to delve deeper into these characters and the potentially vibrant neighbors around them. We'll see when we get there!
=====
That's all for now. The next update will either be a $3+ teaser of the new scene or just the update itself so stay tuned!
Thank you all so much for your support and have a happy holidays!!
