Happy holidays, everyone! Here's a quick status update and a minor update to the game.
NEWS: In case you haven't seen on Twitter, the next major update will likely be the finished game and will be released sometime in the first half of next year - expect later rather than sooner. I'm setting a hard deadline for myself of the game's first anniversary, 6/21, and whatever I have by then will be the finished product. This is mostly to maintain my mental health! I wasn't prepared for this project to be anything more than a short-term experiment, and at a certain point it eats away at you more than motivates you. Setting a single deadline will keep me motivated without feeling pressured to deliver every 1-2 months. Thanks for understanding. <3
Without further ado, the contents of this patch:
CHANGES (0.3.9):
I have about 13k words of the next chapter written so far. If I had to make a very conservative estimate, there are maybe 20-30k more words after that. It's difficult to make a guess because the wordcount includes branching dialogue, but it's about 30-50% of the game.
Thanks for sticking around, and see you next year!
