Hello, hello everyone! It's kiss here to give you the low down on what's to come in the next couple of months.

TL;DR: Pario is going on pause for re-outlining while I work on The Woeful Rose & The Bitter Crow for OjiJam. I've recently hurt my leg, so work is going to be a bit slow. I'm going to do my best to get work done though.

First of all, to everyone who has downloaded the Sacrarium Pario demo and enjoyed it, thank you so much! I know myself and the team are ecstatic that it's been enjoyed, and we're definitely looking forward to releasing the full game. 

The big thing with that is that the full game needs time. I had a full detailed outline, but upon review the pacing is far too quick given the personalities of the characters. Thus, the outlines for Act 2, 3, and the endings will need to be redone and written. That is going to take some time due to the complicated nature of how the code interacts with the storyline. Thus, I am uncertain as to when the full release for Pario will come out. I'm a bit torn on whether or not to release the game in total or perhaps to release it in Act chunks. So, for example, releasing an update with Act 2 added in maybe. That decision is still being made. For now, more content for Pario is labeled under TBD.

Of course, if you want to ask questions to myself or to/for the characters, you can do so on my tumblr.

With Pario on pause for re-outlining, I'm going to take the time to make a small little game for OjiJam. That entry is going to be The Woeful Rose & The Bitter Crow. If you like older love interests, you're definitely going to enjoy Zahir and Hisashi! It's a sequel in the far, far future of the Sacrarium Universe, so it'll be fun if you like the lore!

There is just one small pickle: I've torn a ligament in my knee. On one hand, this does mean that I'm kind of forced into place for a while. On the other, it means that my general ability to do things is a bit rough. At the very least, I have a full leg cast at the moment holding my knee in place to make sure it's forced to heal! Thus, I should be on the mend with time, rest, and painkillers.

I'm going to do my best to stay on top of things, but I'm sorry in advance if this ends up being more disruptive to game development.

As we get more updates for both of these games, I'll make sure to keep you posted on my tumblr & my twitter! I can't wait to share more info because I am really excited for what's to come. 

Sincerely,

kiss
