" my guesstimate for 0.4 release is when my vacation ends, end of July/start of August. ". . . . Are we taking bets? I got 25 cents and half a twix bar that says he'll miss that release.

Summer months pass quickly, which means it's time for the traditional monthly update! Last time I mentioned I would have my vacation this month and I have been free to spend some extra time preparing Offcuts release 0.4. Good news comes to those who wait and I'll be posting another update post when my vacation ends after next week. Be there or be square. This is a shorter update, more to come soon! And as a final reminder, release 0.4 will contain Alice's full storyline.

Like before, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then).

The rest of the post is mostly copy and paste from my previous updates for those who are new or want to be reminded of what will be coming next. See you in the next post, thanks for your support!

--

So, TL;DR:

* 0.4 will have Alice's storyline.

* Some new tech in 0.4: interactive 3D and pre-rendered movies, at least a few of each. When I get the pipeline (and my skills) working smoothly, next releases should have more.

* After 0.4 I will try out a bit faster release schedule with partial updates instead of releasing large, complete routes that take ages to finish. We'll see how it goes.

* Steam release at some point after 0.4 is out. Steam has been pretty random with adult games, so who knows what can happen.

This game was/is charming. I think that is the best word to describe it. Its a shame that its reputation is crashing and burning whilst in a free fall but it is completely understandable considering the behemoth delay and ,taking into account the summary of delays posted farther up the page, consistently delaying said update when it reaches that point.

Considering no money is changing hands whilst this wait is going on, there lie no grounds for calling said developer a scammer.

Ultimately, the worst thing that can and likely will happen is loss of interest.

I judge based on the end product and in a landscape where there is no shortage of content popping up every few minutes, this is a truly unique take which has beautiful visuals, compelling story and hearty characters at its mid. It is a game that deserves to be played. I hope the dev would take that into account for the subsequent updates. Not to push himself to release incomplete content mind you, but to not issue any rough estimates of release times.

If no word is given, it is impossible to break it.

Guess Stencilbits got squared cause they about to be 2 weeks late on posting that that update.

I don't think this is evergoing to come out. He is starting to be like a couple other DEV's that only release some images once in awhile but keep making promises they never keep . Not sure he is taking Patron or not. I can't belive anyone would still be sending him money.

Think the dev has not been accepting payments for more than a year. They plan to resume patreon after 0.4 is out.
Think the dev was exhausted at some point and does work at a pace they're comfortable with. Since they aren't taking any payments, no harm done.

The 2 year anniversary was June 21st. The August update was android build and bug fixes. The patreon post "Heatwave" said that he expects the release date to be end of July/start of August. The next post, on July 30th, said he'll post an update post when his vacation ends next week, still nothing. We are all hoping for some good news, or any real news instead of copy and paste progress posts on patreon.

Yeah you know it would be smart to inform yourself before you write some horseshit, but here we are. :FacePalm:

:ROFLMAO: You'll be playing the exact same game from two years ago!

As far as what is in the game though, I do think they are all great stories. Def a good refresher.
