Release Date Updates | Progress Report

Hey everyone!

My apologies for such a quiet month(s) on this page. I wanted to share hopefully one last progress report as well as give you all a release date window for the upcoming content update!

== Version 1.1 Update ==

As a reminder, this update will be the 'content update' that I've been referring to in previous posts.

This v1.1 update will add a new on-screen scene for Emily! Also, I plan to add a bit more 'flavor' to the final group scene at the end of the game. Repeating this scene will add a few more options and variations utilizing previous scenes!

This update won't be too big. This way I can make sure proper time is spent working on the Epilogue update's content.

== Release Window & Payment Reminder ==

The release date goal will be a in June! Probably in the later half of the month to allow the artist enough time as well.

Now that the game is 'complete' and sold for a price, any future House Chores releases will be on itch day 1. Additionally, with any major update release for House Chores, I'll be reactivating the $5+ Patron promo where you can receive an itch download code. (At the time of this post, it's still active)

If you've already purchased the game, you're all set! Future updates will NOT require a second purchase.

== Epilogue & Beyond ==

ICYMI: The Epilogue update will be one more short story update that is planned sometime this summer (August is the current goal)

But one thing I've been really struggling with is the balance between working on a new game while keeping House Chores moving too.

Part of me has been caught up on the fact that there are a couple of other updates I wouldn't mind doing for House Chores.

For example, there's an outfit for Linda that I'd really love to add. There's also a severe shortage of scenes (zero) in the bathroom for characters other than Linda.

These are just a couple of ideas that but I'd like to do. Nothing is confirmed quite yet, but the list goes on and on!

I might do a Patron poll on this in the near future. Just to see which ideas Patrons are most excited for. Perhaps there's no need to rush to that next game project so soon? Or maybe people are more eager to see new faces? I don't know. I wish I could do it all!

Next up, I plan to share some teasers so be on the lookout for those! I'm a bit tired of progress reports personally... I'm sure you all would rather see some actual content too haha!

Thank you all for your patience and for playing House Chores! I'll see you all soon!
