Hi all, Keo here!
First things first - last month Dawn Chorus turned one year old! On 26th July 2020 we've released our first demo to a limited audience after a small campaign on Twitter. We have come a long way since then - the game is almost 15x longer now than was in the first build, most of the sprites got redrawn, we completely redesigned one of the characters, recruited Roborak to make custom backgrounds for us, Bakemonoy and earlier Tintiai to draw illustrations, changed the intro considerably, and got a cool custom game menu. It's been a good year for us, and we're excited about the future of the project. We will continue getting better all the time for you, and we're immensely grateful for all your support and kind words we received!

Now, about the release schedule - v0.13, already available over at our Patreon, will be released on itch.io on 29.08. It features new content for Rune and Devon, and is one of my favourite updates so far.
Regarding the next updates - I'm reaching an important point in Day 2, I want to go back to writing updates for other characters too. in v0.14 there will be new content for Rune's route. Devon's route is already a bit ahead of Rune's, so there won't be any new scenes for him in that update.
In v0.15 I plan on getting back to Bjorn, and then in October I'll get back to the events from v0.13.
One more thing - today we released mid-month update for our €5+ patrons, featuring more content for Rune. It's a really fun update, and will be available on itch.io as a part of v0.14 at the end of September. https://www.patreon.com/posts/august-mid-month-55046561
