Development is moving full speed ahead on Chapter 3. Kent is cranking out art at his usual prodigious pace. The first two scenes of Chapter 3 are playable with art in the process of backfilling scene 3.
There is unlikely to be much in the way of new features in Chapter 3. What we are looking into is how best to make the phone accessible at any time, so you can review old messages, and an intelligent/custom save module. We'll continue to provide juicy achievements and follow your progress with the end of chapter summary that debuted in Chapter 2, however.
We'd like to thank everyone who attended our Livestream last weekend, and Xor of Thunderline Studios for emceeing again. We ran a little long, but...There were lots of questions! If you missed it, you can find the link to it in this post.
Our next stop is Steam! Thanks to your support, we've made the decision to apply to Steam with either Chapter 3 or Chapter 4. We're still in the very early stages of planning here, so we'll keep everyone posted. As always, Patreon/Subscribestar will remain perfectly acceptable ways to stay in touch with and support our project. This will simply open our story up to a larger audience.
So far, Chapter 3 has been a lot of fun to develop. Kentyrr and I always do our best work when having fun, so hopefully that will shine through in this update.
Chapter 3 introduces interesting new characters, and will be more balanced between them, while also beginning to move the main plot forward. There will also be a similar approach to conversation hubs applied to other choices which should reward thoughtful gameplay.
Looking ahead, Kentyrr will likely have to move homes during this update, and we're coming into the summer with some vacation/holiday time planned, but none of that appears poised to induce delay into our schedule so far.
We nearly hit 500 patrons this update, and we couldn't be more humbled. Word-of-mouth is our only marketing strategy, and it seems like every day we see new names in our Discord talking about our story. In the end, that interest and excitement is what drives us, and we are grateful that you're sharing this project with your friends!
