Hi.Thank you.
As for the chapters and naming:
I’m gradually changing the chapter titles in the game. The demo version already has the updated names. However, the latest update available on Itch and Patreon still uses the old chapter titles.
What does this mean? In the demo, you’ll see three chapters + the intro. In the latest Patreon update, these same chapters have different names. They are all labeled as Chapter One, but split into Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
I know this can be a bit confusing, but I’ll have to keep it this way until the next update is released. Once the next update comes out, all the inconvenience and confusion will be resolved. Each part will become its own proper chapter, without being split into parts. So the latest version you played is "Chapter 2, Part Three" which basically is "Chapter 6". I'm currently working on the 7th Chapter, the final for the "First Book" which will be released on Steam first, but eventually on Steam and Patreon as well. So you don't have to pay twice. Just wait a little bit longer.
As for the development period, lots of reasons why it's taking so long. War, power outages, Christmas episode, which I had to cancel and put on hold basically due to lack of time due to power outages etc. So if I were to calculate how much time I’ve spent working specifically on the next update, it would probably come to about three-four months in total, not a year. But it is what it is... I'm working on it full-time now. Hope it will be ready by autumn, but will see.
