Leak of Legends

It's been a pretty crazy weekend for Ken and I.   Thursday night we released the Patron build of 0.1, and three hours later it had leaked to the pirate sites.

Ken and I apologize that the patron period of exclusivity was so short.  We believe we understand how this happened and how to prevent it from happening next time.

It seems like reaction to our initial release was generally positive, and as they say in marketing, all publicity is good publicity.

Much more importantly, it seems like patron reaction was generally positive, and that gives Kentyrr and I a lot of motivation to kick off Chapter 1.

The upcoming chapter is the last "linear" chapter before the main plot and it's branches become accessible to the player.

The next chapter will deal with the fallout from the events at the end of the Prologue as well as introduce Mallory and set up the main game.  

Forecast calls for tropical warm weather this winter in the Northern Hemisphere!

On October 10th, Ken and I will also host another Livestream Q&A about Chasing Sunsets, our development process, and plans for the future.   Once we've settled on a time, we'll post the Livestream announcement here.

So, what does Public Release mean?  It means we're on F95 and a number of other pirate sites, though the bugfix version with corrected geography and typos remains a patron exclusive.   It means we got such a huge influx of new visitors, we had to segregate the public and patron #general Discord channels.   It means less than a week after launch, we are closing in on 100 patrons, up from 34 pre-launch.   

But none of that matters.   What matters to us is that at first glance, it looks like the story we want to tell is a story most people want to hear.   That there IS a market for thoughtful adult storytelling.

And so that's what we're going to keep doing.   We will continue to improve our processes and hardware, and work our butts off to bring you stories that draw you in.   We won't stop trying to out-do ourselves.

Having so much activity from our initial offering could not have happened without the word-of-mouth and support you've given to us when talking to your friends.   

We offer our sincerest thanks for the faith and support we needed to get our foot in the door.  Now it's time to knock it wide open! 

Chapter 1 is officially green-lit!
