It's been quite a while since there's been any update on things!
Update 0.16 (episode 2) is releasing the same day as Update 0.17 (episode 3) on Dec 8th! This is 3 days beyond our original release date, but our cg artist had something come up within the last week and we asked our supporters if they would rather have us release stuff with extra art if we held off a few extra days to see or not.
Nearly everyone was in favor of a minor delay, so that's where we are with things right now. The team will be going on break after we release these two updates on December 8th and we'll continue to post general news, art and so on throughout our break. But we won't be back to normal work on the project until Jan 5th, so after these updates on Dec 8th.
We won't have the next update stuff released until Feb 3rd, this way we can spend the holidays a bit more relaxed and less stress on us to end the year. When we start up again in 2021, we'll be going strong and streamlining the process of our game updates so that new game releases are in top shape and we stay on schedule.
In case it wasn't know, Allie has received a redesign of her character sprite. This won't be seen in the game until Feb 3rd. But here's a little sneak peek of her.
Her personality is still the same, it's just her visuals that have been changed and fear not. Our plan was to do a redesign for Allie and then that'd be it for redesigns for the game. Moving forward, our sprite artist will be tackling oc characters throughout 2021.
Episode 2 is a interesting episode with it's focuses seen, I'm sure with episode 1 the long intro might've been a bit painful to get through?
But that's behind us! We shouldn't see any drawn out stuff with the upcoming episodes, trying to strike a good balance of pacing with what is taking place for the scene before moving along. Not to spoil the fun for episode 2, but of course we'd expect to see some new characters and possibly returning characters from episode 1.
So with all that said, the next few days will go by quick. Just a little bit longer before our next step forward in the story is released! ^^
