Writing this feels odd after what happened earlier this week, but it's something I'd already planned...

EDIT TO ADD: I've seen the new TOS and it's not looking good for Alice. If you want to get the game and make sure I get paid for it, please subscribe to Subscribestar - it comes with access to the game. I'll make sure you get it, even if you immediately unsub to make it a one-off thing. 

So, it's been 2,5 weeks since the game became available in Early Access, and you guys have certainly showed it love! Unfortunately, it's been delisted from Itch, which has greatly impacted views and sales - any shares are appreciated. I hope the delisting doesn't get followed by an outright removal, because games have been removed. Since there's thousands of games on here they're currently reviewing, it might still happen...

What are we going to do moving forward?

Updates will be posted to Discord: Access through Discord is granted through Subscribestar.  Unfortunately my Patreon was banned, so I can no longer offer content through Patreon.

This only applies for updates between chapter releases. As long as the game's available on Itch, nothing will change in regards to my earlier blog posts: Anyone that purchases the game, will get any major content release updates for free.This is just in regard to the smaller updates before Chapter Two is finished.

In regards to those: I've discussed it with the community, and Chapter Two will likely have five to six major builds before it's fully released - combining each Chapter One ending that follows the same "route" into one build.

For example: There's 5 endings from Chatper One that follow the same route in Chapter Two. Instead of releasing an individual build/update for each of these endings, I'm going to release one build that contains all five of those endings in one go.

So, that means development will take a little longer - there's 31 endings to go through, and each has unique stills and spritework to be done. I'm still the only dev and artist working on this project, and losing my Patreon means taking a big hit to my income, so I can't afford to hire folks anytime soon.

Subscribestar builds will likely be releasing every 6-8 weeks, but I hope to get them done faster. It all depends on how many sprites/stills/animations each individual transformation needs and how many endings are bunched into each route. Unfortunately that does mean that my estimation of 5 months is a bit short for Chapter Two's release - it will likely be releasing in 7-9 months from now.

I'll still be posting devlogs, new art and sneak peek updates every week to the Discord, so be sure to check it out if you're interested!

I'd like once again to reiterate that this game is delisted, shadowbanned and may be at risk of deletion - so please share it around with folks you know might like it. Organic traffic is unfortunately dead.
