Hey everyone! Thank you for stopping by. I wanted to discuss a few things about the current state of the demo and the future of the game as a whole.

The reason the demo is in such a bad state right now is because I rushed its release to meet a dream goal of mine. Ever since I started working on the game off and on since 2016, I've been eager for the day I get to share the game with others. However, I have a busy life and a lot of different projects (as well as a Youtube channel). I kind of jump between projects never really seeing any to completion.

Early in September (2022) I decided to focus solely on Dango Thief; at least enough to release a demo this year. I gave myself the deadline of December 31st. Even though the demo is incomplete and a mess, I still wanted to meet that goal!

So here we are! What next? Throughout January I plan on making quite a few patches to the game to fix and polish up the demo. However, I want to make an update to A Valentine Experience before Valentine's day so the demo likely won't be completed until March.

Starting March, I'll be putting work into the full game. I'm not sure what kind of release I want to do as of yet. As mentioned on the game page, I'm considering an episodic release (even though I'm not a big fan of that). But we'll see how things go. This will be the main game I put my time towards in 2023. I would love a full release by 2024 and no later. Oh, but I'll likely put patches towards A Valentine Experience periodically as I'd also like that game to be complete by Valentine's 2024.

Thank you for your interest! And Happy New Years!
