In this act you will find approximately 140k words, 620 new pictures, 95 new sprites and so on.
I also reconverted the webp builds, so now they're almost 2 Gb lighter. Any further compression would result in significantly noticeable pixelisation but I agree that 5Gb+ size was way too much for a technically smaller version. Still, Shattered is a big game, so you have to accept certain limitations its size imposes.
Now, let's talk about the future. Previously, I've been following a pretty strict release schedule: three Patreon demos then a public release but due to health-related and financial reasons I can no longer spend as much time on Shattered as I'd like to. Simple preparation for this release took weeks — and I couldn't even finish everything I wanted (I was hoping to implement a basic gallery function into the codex menu but this will have to wait). And while I do hope you will enjoy this version, I have to admit that it's not on par with my regular standards, and since it's impossible for me at this moment to intensify the process, I'll have to make it last longer in order to avoid future situations like this. Which means that while my patrons will keep receiving monthly builds as usual, full acts from now on won't have an estimated release date. «When it's done», as they say. I apologise for this but the times when I was able to spend 16 hours per day on Shattered are over, probably for good. Still, if you feel generous and can't get enough Blake in your life (understandably so), I always welcome you to my Patreon which is full of extra content all the time. Thank you.
