April 30th 2021: Last time I released the (hopefully) final tech test demo

September 2022: The final tech test release is hopefully coming out soon(ish)

18 months later and its still hopefully the final tech test.

Come on Stencil! You are either completely incompetent or you have used so many excuses that you are now recycling old ones.

To be fair, CAPTAIN PLANET is proud of Stencilbits for doing 2 out of the 3 Rs... He mastered Reuse and Recycle now he needs to Reduce the amount of excuses.

Reading his post, I actually thought he's probably using a random excuse generator.

I was defending their practices for quite some time, but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST this is the porn game version of Beyond Good & Evil 2 (this surpassed Duke Nukem Forever for longest development time of any game and counting):

Duke Nukem Forever went 5,156 days from its announcement in 1997 to its release in 2011. It has been 5,234 days since the first Beyond Good & Evil 2 trailer was released.

Obligatory "Is this game abandoned?" post. (*ducks and runs for cover*) :ROFLMAO:
At this point it's on life support with the dev refusing to just pull the plug and put it out of it's mysery.

The accident was horrific and it's wasted away being laid up for 3 whole years.

We don't know if it will pull through but even if it does it will never be the same.

Our prayers are with you, Offcuts.

Monthly Update: Halloween Horror Edition
Another month ends, and another update post arrives! There is no longer much to say about the incoming 0.4 release, everything is mostly in order except for some testing. There are some rendering and crashing issues with certain Mac graphics cards and Android is always a bit of a headache, but there is always a choice to use more basic 2D rendering if things explode on your device. Of course, manually switching settings because of these issues is not very user-friendly, so there is room for improvement. One possibility is to release first for Windows and Linux and sort out Mac and Android releases later as I did with the previous Android releases. Regardless, a unified release date with a quick test build before that is still my goal. Other than that, Spooky Halloween!
And as always, 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 copied 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 and patience!

So, TL;DR:
* Next release 0.4 will have Alice's full 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.
At this point I don't even want to share the monthly updates from patreon anymore cause it is not like Stencilbits ever posts anything new. It is always the same "almost done, just need last bit of testing" copypasta every month.

But there was new stuff like Macs and Droids having issues with the game... progress? Also, pretty much everyone is here for THE MEMES! now instead of the game. Hell will freeze over when Stencilbits releases 0.4 with the complete Alice Route.
