Addressing the below comments!

So firstly: I post regular progress reports in our Discord servers, which are free/open to the public and can be accessed by anyone, Patron or no.

I manage a TON of different pages like this one, so it's easier/faster for me to just share news about development there.

Anyone who is in these servers is aware of why Ch5 of Polarity is taking a while, as I've explained it numerous times before... but allow me to give you guys here on Itch a quick rundown.

1. No, Polarity is not abandoned, nor is development on hold!

2. Yes, I released Ch3 of my other game, Radiant, fairly recently.

3. Yes, there's a very good reason why this one is taking so long.

As I explained over on Discord, Polarity Ch5 is the biggest, lengthiest, and most complex update I've created to date. It is double the size of Chapter 4, which was already much larger than any of the previous chapters. On a single linear playthrough, the chapter is over four hours long, and that's excluding those with multiple save-files who will replay to see the different paths.

So naturally, because the update/chapter is so large, it's taking quite a while to develop. It's basically a years worth of development condensed down into one update. I've been very open and transparent that this would be the case.

Now as for why the chapter is so large...

Polarity Ch5 marks the end of Part 1 of the story, so you can basically think of it like the "finale." It is also perhaps the most important chapter of the game. Getting it right is extremely important to me, especially since it's the turning point of the game and sets the stage for the second half.

Anyway, sorry you guys have been waiting for a while. Just know I appreciate y'all and I'm working on it! Your concerns & criticisms are very valid, and I don't blame you guys for having them.

Thanks,

SirD.

I'm sure the number of comments asking for an update can feel discouraging, but take it as a positive that so many people desperately want to see more of what you have to offer. Hope you're going well!

Does this mean that chapter 5 will come out soon? It's been a year and almost 3 months. Also radiant is amazing. I love it and can't wait for a new chapter of that as well
