## **HoS Development Update: Looking Ahead**
I've always vowed to stay transparent and keep a clear line of communication between myself and all of you, the amazing fans of HoS - Even when sometimes, it may lead to short-term disappointment.
***TL;DR:***
- Full-time development begins: **March 31st**
- Expect update pacing to be more measured until then
- [Technical update](https://discord.com/channels/1258412697838551131/1258412699554152482/1333496355254960222) in **February** (Gallery, Cheats, UI overhaul, Photoshoot system, updated sprites, etc.)
- [v0.18 Content Update](https://discord.com/channels/1258412697838551131/1258412699554152482/1333496378038681642) in **March**
- v0.19 Content update in Q2 2025 (Conclude WIP options + current questlines)
- v0.20 Content update in late Q2 2025 (Chapter 2 launch)
Since the first release of HoS a little more than 5 months ago, I've shipped 4 updates, more than doubling the size of the initial release, and adding multiple hours of new content by relentlessly putting in 70+ hour workweeks - working my dayjob during days, and HoS during nights.
The reality is that HoS can only continue to exist, if I exist and right now with this pace, that simply isn't sustainable.
The silver lining is seeing all of you - The community that has blossomed around HoS assures me that it was all worth it, but it's now time to take a more reserved approach for the next few weeks.
### Thanks to your incredible support, I am able to take a massive leap of faith in turning HoS into my full-time occupation, starting *March 31st*.
Until then, please expect a more measured approach during the next 2 months, in which you can still look forward to the announced technical update, along with v0.18.
After March, I aim to deliver substantial updates every ~6 weeks, while exploring the possibility of bringing in new people to assist with the production of HoS.
2025 will be the year of HoS!
Thank you all once again! ❤
