Since it's been a while, a minor update.
The team is currently still on break as part of our recent holidays, but we're slowly preparing ourselves to start up again by next week. Our next expected game update is scheduled for Feb 5th, due to our break in December.
We're starting work on the chibi versions of the characters, which will be featured on the episode splash screens. Those are coming along from a new artist who was brought on to tackle the chibi stuff. (cg and sprite artist still tackling their own stuff) We're hoping to have the cg art caught up with our game releases by Feb 5th, so that for future releases in 2021 and forward. We'll offer the full experience to new versions of the game when a new episode releases, you won't have to replay through it to check out the missing cg scenes that'd show up later, etc.
Our sprite artist will be focusing on oc character requests that we had lined up from late in 2020 and some from our kickstarter we launched. Every so many months, we'll go through the game and include these oc characters in fitting areas.
Our roadmap for Q1 2021 is roughly as follows. (These are based on our supporter exclusive release dates, but to figure out the public releases of these. Just move the details to the next following dates. Example: update 0.17.5 on Feb 5th for public) [possible spoilers ahead!]

Hopefully this helps give everyone a decent idea of what to expect as we begin to move into the new year. Starting with our next release on Feb 5th (both public and supporter). We're going to change referring to new game releases as "update 0.xx" and instead refer to them as "Version 0.xx" instead.
This is a very minor thing and it won't affect your save data, simply the naming format will change is all. This is a bit silly, but it's because it seems to me that referring to our new game releases each month as "Version" instead of "Update" will imply that you simply just have to download the latest version to play the game. (Again silly, I know) But I've had some confusion from people that the update naming format is more like a patch or well... A update to add to another existing version of the game.
It's hard to say if this really affects people from trying the game out, but I'd like to at least clear up any confusion as I can see why maybe some people will see "Update 0.17" and think they might need other updates for the game to play it.
Anyways, just a quick update. ^^
