Props for using AC Black Flag music in the beginning on the ship. That was quite a nice touch and nostalgic. Perfect

any news on an update for strings?
Except for me working on a replacement for Strings of Fate, that can be put on Steam, not for the moment. I'll get back to it eventually, just not right now. I want to put a game on Steam, and actually earn a few that I can reinvest back. Rather than constantly sinking my own finance for nothing.

I did share few things already on my discord regarding it.

If you're not currently working on Strings of Fate for now, shouldn't the thread be tagged as On Hold?

So ep-2 starts with version 0.6? I'm a bit confused. I already have version 0.5, is ep-2 worth downloading content wise right now?

Yes, it starts off where .5 left off, and has quite a bit of content. I'll admit I was confused at first, but I went back and replayed the .5 version, and got back in synch with the story.

I hope that doesn't mean you have to tone down things, Steam can be very anal about approval.

I mean... I am generally a vanilla fella. So I doubt I'll have any issues with that. I am rather bitter about Strings of Fate, and to have to put a hold on it.

Sadly.. I've sank a mini fortune into it, and its just not doable like that forever. But it still remains a side passion that I'll eventually go back to, not out of necessity for money from it, but out of pure and sheer fucking fun of it.

Sorry about all the issues you had with this project Mystic.
Steam can be a fickle bitch - even on the best of days.

I didn't have that much of a problem with it, but thanks. Personally problem was of financial nature, I was paying on multiple ends and well... got shit for it. And while I didn't mind it, at some point after I did a bit of math I realized I could've bought an used car. And that was the red line for me.

No regrets of course, but I can't be doing that forever. And if I could work on this one still, bet my ass I would. But it is HS engine. And well Steam wouldn't let that fly, so had to switch to DAZ which meant this has to go on a shelf for a period.

And yeah they're uh... nitpicky about a lot of shit.

But I'll see to come back at it at some point, just cause I feel bitter about it and had fun working on it.

"so had to switch to DAZ"
Frick, that almost sounds like too much work.

Loved the story, wasn't really that so concerned about the graphics.
But I understand the rebuild dilemma concerning Steam.

Thanks for the ride so far....

Oh yeah, and I hated and still hate every day of it. Something that went smooth and had a flow to it, turned into constant need to learn something. Dealing with crashes, and spending over 2000 euroes on a fucking graphic card cause otherwise its near impossible to deal with the software.

DAZ has been a nightmare since day 1. But eh, fuck it. Do what you gotta do I guess.

And np man :D

I really hate to say I saw the writing on the wall when "Season 2" released. I really hoped I was wrong but this fell off hard in my opinion. still enjoyable but if you are playing because of the first episode then I'd recommend stopping there, unless you have a disappointment kink.
