Wow ... this is the starting hype point for many fans:
Their October second announcement that ” The latest release (Version 0.2) will be coming out this month. We truly wished we could have released it sooner, but unfortunately, we can only work on it during weekends or when we have some spare time”.
Where they were at that moment:
Still struggling bouncing off from manuscript 1-4 since PenNib formatted the 4 manuscripts in a quite complicated way in connection with each other.
-Zero2Meme
Currently making art for the "Not so secret, secret" project. Might release some art teasers later on, or not.
-PenNib”
They basically have been bogged down -seemingly lost between .. well ... not two, not three, but four separate
scripts that the coder would have to integrate in the game, while the artist has been doing nothing but side work
on the secret not so secter other project they seem to be running over there.
I have a "Supporter" membership, their last update was on October 29. According to the last post, they were done with the art but coding, sound/music and bug hunting were still in the to-do list.
For anyone that would like to hear an update:
Basically Zero2Meme stopped responding to PenNib's messages and seems to have lost interest in doing the coding for the game or is just too busy with live. PenNib has put payments in Patron on hold and is going to do the coding and proceed on his own.
Really unfortunate turn of events there, with the fatal flaw being whatever the coder was extenuated about right back
in October, at the very beginning of the month - ”struggling bouncing off from manuscript 1-4 that are formatted in a quite complicated way in connection with each other.”
Good luck to them on figuring out what it is they wanna do going forward, but for the rather spaghetti structure the plot has at the moment, four manuscripts that the game codes would have to draw from during gameplay seems to be rather ambitious, when the plot revolves around one single murderer, many suspects and rising number of victims, thus far.
