Chapter 3 Dev Update

Happy Friday everyone!

I just wanted to take a few moments and give an update on our progress with Chapter 3.

To our frustration, the past two weeks have proven more challenging than hoped.  Kentyrr's move has been complicated by helping the rest of his family move as well, and I gave him a scene that has proven significantly more challenging to create art for than anticipated.

As we move out of more linear gameplay, creating art for multiple branches also adds some overhead.

As such, it appears we are going to miss our target release of August 7, but hopefully not by more than a week or two.   Kentyrr will complete his move this weekend, and should be back in the saddle next week, and then we'll get our beta out to testers as quickly as possible.

Additionally, we apologize to patrons who had difficulties with the download links over the last week or two.  It turns out our downloads mirrors were being directly linked to by pirate sites, and our transfer limit was getting eroded by non-patrons.   We have a strategy to combat this going forward.

Now, on to the good stuff!

The story is complete, and playable to the end.   At this point, there remains one small and one large scene to create art for.

Here's what you can expect in Chapter 3:

• We'll see how Jaye and Mallory adjust to one another.
• We'll get a closer look at what Sarah was working on.
• We'll meet some interesting new ladies.
• We'll see some of what George has in store for the siblings.
• We'll see some unexpected nuance out of someone who has been pretty one-dimensional so far.

In any case, we're excited to share what we have in store for you in the coming weeks.   I'll make another announcement when the beta is in our testers' hands, and finalize the release date then!

Once again, thanks everyone for your support and encouragement.   We love doing this, and it's in no small part because of the fan engagement!
