Hello everyone!
For April's update, we're unveiling more sneak peeks at what's to come in Aslan's Route DLC for "Love Spell: Written In The Stars!" We also have some news regarding the DLC's development update and release date.
While work is well underway and big development milestones have been achieved, unfortunately, we are going to have to delay Aslan's DLC release tentatively from our original Q1-Q2 2022 date.
The main reason for the delay involves problematic technicalities with the original engine in which Love Spell was built on. It seems our creative scope for the project did not align with what our old engine readily allows and in order for a proper release of the best quality we can achieve, we are essentially going to have to reprogram Love Spell & Aslan's Route from the ground up using our new engine to release both the promised DLC & the ports to Linux and MAC.
While a nuisance, it's not a complete hindrance and we're already in talks of implementing other big quality of life updates to LS as well. This new engine (which is what we've been using for Peachleaf Valley) will also serve as the framework for future DLCs like Sergio and others that may be unlocked from Patreon's goals.
However, it's important to note that we are a small team with limited funding and resources available to us. Aslan's Route was not originally unlocked during our original Kickstarter campaign for Love Spell and has been funded completely out of pocket by the development team thus far.
Rest assured, we plan to see our promise through and luckily, all the groundwork on the Aslan's assets already exists and are basically finished. It's just the legwork now to "build the cake."
Meanwhile, we have also been working full-time on Peachleaf Valley and are trying to juggle both projects. We have a good reason to believe that Aslan's DLC will be released before Q4 2022 and have refocused efforts on achieving this benchmark. However, for the time being, we're not going to give an official release date until we can have a clearer vision of what the timeframe will look like.
The team is hard at development work on both Aslan's DLC & Peachleaf Valley and continues well underway at the time of posting. We'll be sure to have more updates on the way soon!
We hope all the new glimpses into what Aslan's story will offer excites you and we thank you so much for your understanding and your continued support.
Every cent raised here on Patreon is going directly into supporting the team and development for both projects. We truly couldn't be more appreciative of everyone's kind comments and faith.
P.S- We're hiring game programmers to join our team! You can check out our official posting here!
Thank you as always for all of your amazing support. As our Patrons, all of you directly aid and support us in development as we work tirelessly to create and deliver fun games and immersive stories to you.
Thank you again for turning into today's update and we'll see you again soon!
