Steam.
Let's start that dev update with the big news :
Summer Scent is officially coming to Steam.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2994790/Summer_Scent/
I would really be grateful if you could all add it to your wishlist, even if you don't plan on buying the game on that platform. That will help in dealing with Steam's algorithm and put Summer Scent in a more favorable position when the game is fully released... Thank you in advance!
At the moment, I'm not 100% sure when it will be fully available for purchase. I've set the start of December as a hard deadline, but I might very well release it sooner if there is enough wishlist.
Scene 29
I'm still writing it. I'm ashamed to confess that things are getting out of hand once more. I'm at 6.7k word plus and have barely passed the 60 % mark. I'll probably have to rework and simplify some parts, and maybe push some content to a new scene. I don't know yet.
Scene 29 contains 4 different segments, and two are heavily dependent on the path you're following. As such, there are several different versions of the "same" event to write, even if the difference between the variants is sometimes pretty subtle. The first two segments are pretty much ready, I'm working on the third one.
As always that's a weird situation for a writer. Am I doing too much or not enough? I don't think there is a correct answer to that question but I can't help asking myself anyway. And If I'm not scared to write a 15k word scene, I am certainly afraid to pose it. Maybe I'll simply try to go faster on the last segment. As always the only way to know for sure is to actually write it and eventually edit it down.
The quick sum up :
You can follow my progress on this Trello board.
Thank you for your support!
