TTrick actually adressed this to his subscribers in a post on Saturday (27th of January 2024). He says the planned Steam release is march 1st, and that he will post an alpha build at the same time, where a few scenes might be missing which will be added for the beta version somewhat later. This is not 100% set in stone, but a good indicator that something good is coming our way.
here's the actual post
"Hey guys!
As I mentioned in my last post, everything is going great. The update is looking fantastic! However, I wanted to share some of my thoughts.
If you've been here a while, you already know I love going all out with meaningful lewd scenes. I'm currently working on the biggest lewd scene for the update(no spoilers, but I've shared a preview with the Playa tier).
Time is moving on, and even though I paused payments for two months, I feel the pressure of not having released anything for you to see. Originally, I planned to release the full version, but now I'm seriously considering releasing an alpha version. It will be just like the full version but might miss around 3-5 scenes that I'll complete later.
This also makes sense considering the upcoming Steam release. The planned date for that is March 1st, but due to the scale of the update, I don't think I can meet that deadline. For those thinking it's a bad idea, you can skip this version and wait a bit for the final release. Releasing The alpha version will give you guys a good look at what's coming and also let me test things more carefully, so the first Steam release goes smoothly.
As I've mentioned before, there have been times when I removed content just to get a version out. I've promised myself I won't do that again, and I'm sticking to that decision. That's why it's taking a bit more time than usual (plus, this is a big update).
This isn't a 100% certain announcement yet. But I want you all to be in the loop in case I decide to drop an alpha version suddenly. I'll make up my mind in the next few days or week, depending on how things go.
As always, thanks for your support!
Cheers ,
TTrick. "
