All but 4 larger (100+ render) scenes are entirely rendered, writing is happening. I won't guarantee that Episode 3 will be ready for Steam on the day of release (15th of November), but it will be out well before the end of November. Same goes for the highest tier of Patreons. Public update/release will be out at some point in December.

There's a pinned post on the

that I updated daily (until I started getting deep into the writing) for player to keep up with progress. Why Patreon doesn't keep pinned posts at the top by default for everyone is dumb, but it's there nonetheless, as I've mentioned before.I only post bigger stuff on Patreon (Full playsheets, release schedules, exclusives, etc.), and try hard not to spam. I consider a two-line progress report of what's changed to be spam. That's how it's been for a while. I'm clearly active (and reachable) on multiple platforms (except for Discord, which I suck at.).

Mixing football and AVNs is not something I ever expected to see, but I noticed this game in someone’s signature and had to give it a shot.
Easily in my top 5 now.
The renders? Absolutely killer. The girls? Amazing.
The little background easter eggs and nods to other classic VNs are such a nice touch too.
Wishlisted on Steam, and I can’t wait to start all over on Steam once the new update drops!

All right. It's been a minute. Crazy few months, and thankfully all is well. Starting with the good news, renders are all but done. Of the 40 scenes in this update, 38 are fully rendered. The remain number of renders being within two digits. Bring it to a total of roughly 2,165 renders when all is done.
-- As mentioned above, renders are basically fully done.
-- Less so for the writing. I'm going as fast as I can, but a full-time job during election season (in my field) can get kind of chaotic. I love chaos, but it's not easy on the schedule. That's for sure. Of those 40 scenes, 13 are still unwritten. Some are fairly short, it's the longer (100+ renders scenes) that are killing me.
-- Character Menu will be delayed a bit in favor of an update. It will be featured in an Episode 3.5 that'll come at some point midway through the update cycle. Which will hopefully be joined by a fixed Auto-Forward Time (sorry forgetting that some people actually used that) and other nagging issues.
-- Postwork, which should be no more than a couple days, if not less.
-- Music (will likely be using a few paid sites this time around, along with some mixed ones.
-- Achievements + Walkthrough stuff (for Steam version and potentially Patreon on the latter.) should only take a day or so, along with any loose graphical/visual cues I may need to add.
-- As soon as the writing is done, I'll like to send the rpy files to anyone who's down to proofread.
Re: iOS billing
Starting with the iOS billing. As I'm sure you've read from other devs, we don't have much choice is iOS/Apple forcing Patreon to charge more. If you're on iOS and support (android is better, though), please a take moment to do it through your browser/safari/etc. There's zero need for you guys to pay extra. But if you insist on using the app despite the extra costs, I ain't going to stop you either.
Re: Steam Release + Update timeframe
If it's not obvious, I won't be updating on the 15th alongside the update for Steam. However, I've decided to release the game to keep my word. That being said, Episode 3 will be out before the of November. This also applies to the highest tiers of Patreon.
As soon as the update goes live on Steam, it'll be on Patreon as well. However, going forward on Steam, the updates will be released alongside the Benchwarmer tier.
For Patreons who've paid the equal amount (or more) to the Steam version, I'll be offering Steam keys to. But this will come in another post on/around release day. If you'd like, or haven't already, a

If you haven't read the Play Sheet posted on another site (that I can't mention here). I was unable to finish up Episode 3 in time for the release date. That being said, I'll be releasing the game today as planned with the already finished Episodes 1 and 2. Episode 3 will be out by near the end of November!
39 of the 40 scenes (2100+ renders) in Episode 3 are currently rendered and waiting for postwork. Of said 40 scenes, 12 are unwritten. Most of which are fairly short however. Should have them done in the next couple days and will send out for proofreading while I working on the music/postwork/etc. I hate to use work as an excuse for not hitting that deadline I set for myself, but the university > work transition into full time (especially during election season) was kind of brutal for me. Just trying to be transparent for the sake of transparency. I appreciate your patience and I'm super excited to get this update out to everyone as soon as possible.
Super excited the for the game's launch today, and hopefully I can turn in this into a full time gig so I can get updates out to everyone that much faster.
So, in short: Move the Chains will be released today with Episodes 1 & 2 with Episode 3 coming late November.
While I'll likely be writing up a release post later on today (post-launch), it'll probably take a bit to write. If you end up buying Move the Chains before that and enjoyed (or have it enjoyed it previously elsewhere), leaving a review would be great as it would help Steam push Move the Chains. If not, that's totally fine too.
