Wonder how the testing is going... I'd be thrilled if we see this released at some point over the weekend, but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. I mean, I dunno about anyone else, but I know I'm pretty hyped for this revamp update, and doing a fresh play-through with one of the best games on this site!

Likewise. I just did a playthrough yesterday in anticipation for this update/rebuild to see if I can notice the difference between the old and new dialogue. (Yes, I did read Playboy magazine back in the day)

If Ive already played up to v0.5.3 is the next update big enough to start from the start?
Well its the final update for the chapter, so yes. Read up on earlier posts, a lot is changing.

I saw the post on the engine updates, just wasnt completely sure if animations and stuff from earlier updates are changing as well.
most are not, some are, and a bunch of new ones. Takes an insane amount of time to make animations

"When it's done" is always better as you're not constraining yourself to a release date which would naturally lead to a slew of bugs even possibly missing content. It's going to be magnificent.
It's really hard to set a specific date when you are a small team where its basically one person on one role and there is a lot of unexpected stuff that can happen during final testing. Better this way than making empty promises. We rather just use the status on patreon. One big issue can end up taking hours to fix, and yesterday I was also working 7 hours at the office regular job, to go home earlier and work from 5PM to 9AM straight on Timestamps, sleep for two-three hours and then up at ~11 AM again to continue. We're crunching it, we want it released just as much as you guys want to play it.

We are confident it's gonna be awesome but there is still some issues to resolve.

That's only true if you can resist feature creep, and realize that .

work from 5PM to 9AM straight
16 hours straight? o_O
Ouch. You have my sympathies. Those two/three hours you get to sleep are probably destroying you.
Wait. The day doesn't have 25/26 hours in it. (It's heading that way, though.)
7 hours in the office + 16 hours on Timestamps + 2/3 hours sleep = 25/26 hour days.
I know that in some cultures (and way back when) this was not an uncommon practice but three hours sleep is not good for you. Nobody would complain if it'd take a bit longer just so you can catch up on something your body needs. You'll develop the curse of the developer: personal health issues. Please look after yourself.

Well it's always intense especially during the final testing period cause things appear that you least expect. This release in particular is extremly sensitive to things breaking during testing since almost everything is changed under the hood, and in the scenes too. I dont work like 26 hours day all the time, but for sure trying to finish things up gets you crunching hard.

Don't kill yourself with fatigue. Lol. We need them updates but I'm sure they'll be better if the team behind them is well rested :3

Release is Imminent !!!! Here we go my Friends !!!!!!





To all our Patreons
This is just a small post to keep you updated on our progress. Everyone keeps asking how big the update will be, if I tell you the renders in game have increased by 25% and the, you can see that we haven't been idle for the past 3 months. The whole Engine has been revamped, it now run's smoother and faster than it ever did before, and brings more cool features to make the game even better. The idea we had was to give you all an unforgettable experience, for the end of Chapter 1, but as we got deeper into this, we realized we needed more help, so we took on a few more people to help us out, as the project was just too big for the two of us alone.

We have completely new scenes from the beginning of the game, that have been added, most of the dialogues have been revamped and we hope you see the difference. There's also some alterations to some characters personalities that we know you will love, at least we hope so The thing with doing this is you will have to play the game again from the beginning, but I hope you will see what we have done and the improvements we have made, and it will be a whole new experience I write this as an explanation and a plea that you have patience with us just a little bit longer, we are in the final testing stages now but they are taking a bit longer than expected, something which would take a day or two before has almost doubled even tripled in size, because of what we have done.
You might not believe it but some of us are looking forward to a good nights sleep after this is released. Our main aim is we promised you the earth and we intend on delivering it, you wouldn't want us to release a game full of bugs and that is what we are trying to do, so please just have a bit more patience with us.
The release is imminent and before anyone goes off and thinks God they are looking for another month, we're not it's a lot closer than you think
We thank you for your support and patience
Motkeyz and Aesouh
