Hello everybody,
First of all, I would like to say that I am incredibly sorry for not updating over the past two years.
The truth is, I could not even go online and give more updates on the game without having an anxiety attack. Even now, as I'm typing this, with a fully completed game to back up my claims, I am having heart palpitations.
Things got really rough in my personal life, I will not go into details as it is a sensitive and personal matter, and on the other side of the pond there were also big technical issues with delivering the rest of the artwork.
But, despite the radio silence, we never stopped working on the game.
We even commissioned more artists to help finish the art (@roasif and @soupyeel, shoutout to you guys, I hope associating with this game, even as simple commissions, will not tank your career), and in the end Fran was also able to finish all the remaining artwork himself and also add a lot of stuff that wasn't initially planned.
We also learned our lesson regarding how much time a game actually needs to be worked on thoroughly when there are just 2 developers, and trust me, if we ever make another game we will be much more economical on how many backgrounds, CGs, characters we use on a game, I think I went a little overboard on the scope here because it was my first game ever and I didn't want to hold back in anything.
We also learned that we are no good with deadlines, so any future games will not even be announced until they are basically almost finished.
I don't expect any people who haven't already paid for the game on Kickstarter to go and buy the game right now( but if you do you have a pleasant surprise ahead for you), we will come back later with more promotional material to properly announce the release of the game.
So far, I have only uploaded the finished game on our itch.io page so I can send it to all the Kickstarter backers, which I have done since last night, so, if you backed the game on Kickstarter and paid 15 USD or more you should already have an email regarding that, please let me know if you were able to download the game properly or if I should try again.
For those that also are entitled to the game walkthrough as a reward, it is ready and will be sent with email or message because I don't think I can upload it on itch.io to send it over to you guys without making it purchasable on itch.io too.
For the sexy album and digital card rewards, they will come later, as will the Android version of the game (so far only PC and Mac are ready).
The Kickstarter backers who had their likeness in the game as a reward or even a small or big talking role in the game, just play the game :) If you want to know in exactly which route you will find your character hit me up in a message and I will let you know :)
Again, I am sorry that I let you believe the game was a scam all along, we worked too much and too hard on this to let it be a quick cash-grab, please be kind in the comments, but if you wanna roast me instead it's totally understandable.
I hope you enjoy the game as much as I loved making it.
EDIT: Apparently, I'm an idiot, I haven't sent the email yet but I'm waiting for itch.io to approve it.
In the meanwhile, if you pledged 15 USD or more in Kickstarter, hit the below link and make an itch.io account (or login to your existing account) with the same email you used to pledge in Kickstarter and you should have the game automatically, and I will also send the individual emails.
