Hi go to pag 441Someone have the link from the asset pack 20?
no one ever said that Raven is done...Miss Martian and Raven are completed already.
Hi look in the Changelog there you will see all the things that are added in the gameno one ever said that Raven is done...
On retrospect, I can see where you may have interpreted "Sorry for any mental distress/anguish this news may cause," the way you did. That was not intended and it was actually genuine even if a bit exaggerated.And as someone who is actually supporting the developers on Patreon, I feel like it's perfectly fine to be wary that this means that next update is going to end up being delayed as well since it feels like the start of a bad trend. At least they were apologetic about it tonight. Yesterday it was basically "Opps, our bad and you're an asshole if you're upset it's delayed."
Damn i was about to get on the hype train for tomorrow..

On the Dangers of Timed Releases…
We fucked up. We could tell that it was because SR7 tried to outdo himself but didn’t have sufficient time to do so. We could explain the cascading dominos from the trouble with the last build coupled with unfortunate business timings due to schedules and legalese. But none of it would change the pure fact that we have to delay the build until April 5th at the latest – and therefore, we fucked up.
We hope that years of being on time has given us the benefit of the doubt that this will not continue or be the new norm, but we also understand our patrons and fans being aggravated that delays have now happened on back-to-back cycles. And none of the reasons behind why this happened excuse that.
Frankly speaking, if we felt like we could or had a time machine, we’d do away with timed releases entirely – especially for a project that relies so heavily on one person. There’s just too much that can happen outside of our control.
There’s a reason a lot of our contemporaries have steered away from, or entirely clear of, timed releases. Game development is a fickle mistress that is nearly impossible to anticipate. Something that you expect to take 5 hours could take 5 mins and vice-versa – and that only becomes truer the deeper you get into a project’s life cycle.
But we understand the timed-release schedule is vitally important to many of you. And we understand we have a duty to uphold the practices and expectations upon which this project was built.
We can’t promise to never have to delay a build again. Frankly speaking, if the decision is between putting out a mess or cutting content vs delaying the build a few days, we’re going to delay the build every time. And that doesn’t mean the delayed build won’t still have issues – as was the case with the Raven build.
What we can promise is to own our mistakes, to learn from them, and to incrementally get better with each mistake we make. At the end of the day, we’re just a collection of humans. But we are trying to do our best and steadily improve.
Again, we apologize for the delay. As a token of recompense, we hope the above teaser/reveal is to many people’s liking (yep, the mystery character was Talia) and tomorrow we will be releasing the next roadmap.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding in this matter,

boy, you're just a ray of sunshine, ain't ya?The roadmap that ends with Artemis was drafted up back in November with the target dates of each of the three releases. So back in November was the time this update was scheduled. But why let goals interfere with goin ta Didney Worl! and riding roller coasters leading up to a day before the release. Just make sure that next month ticks for those sweet pateron buxx before anyone gets anything. Why does April 5th mean anything all of the sudden if the planned release dates don't? Why adhere to anything if it's just "delayed. lol." If they're so against target dates that they set upon themselves now, switch to pay-per-release as an option which Patreon has had for years now. Oh right, because people wouldn't be scammed for empty months/late releases. Forgot that.
I don't exactly remember where I read it (the discord if memory serves) so I won't try and push this as truth: I recall reading someone asking if the extended delay with the Miss M/Raven update was going to bleed into this upcoming one in a negative fashion which GG said, no. Well the fact they used it as an additional excuse for this one is a bit of a not to mention they're leaving the door open for this update to be buggy as hell too. So don't be surprised if unlocking an Artemis costume locks out all of Cheshire and Talia's content shows up in the -Known Bugs tab. Which will lead to this delay bleeding into the next update, repeat, repeat, repeat.
The second post containing the unwanted news was at least worded tactfully unlike the previous one. And again I can't provide proof other than circumstantial evidence of the somewhat "Piss-off." update being posted by smoke while the more mindful one was done by Locke who is basically the repping PR-Guy. So I think that says enough.
