Overall Game Status Update June 2023

I provide daily status updates on the Discord, but haven't done an overall status update on the game as a whole in what feels like forever!

All main routes have been completed for awhile and I've been working on side content these last few months.

Since the last Patreon release, I've been writing frantically for the remaining side content. I have drafted (still needs editing and programming)...

• 3 new Julian stories (well, 2 new and 1 heavily edited)
• 2 new Brandon side stories
• 2 new Quinn side stories

With that, the self-inflicted minimum of 4 side stories per characters is complete.

However, there's 1 more that's been burning on my To Do list for a hundred years now. Seb already had 4 stories, so I prioritized the other characters. There will be one more side story for Sebastian about his first girlfriend and Alexander's.... interference. :) So I will be writing this very soon.

So....... that begs the question? What's left? What's the action plan to release?!

The Great Release To Do List (TM):

• Write Seb's final side story
• Edit and program all the new side stories mentioned
• Do a Patreon release
• Write, edit, and program all the remaining mini-stories for all character (not sure what my minimum is yet, TBD.)
• Do another Patreon release.
• Some planning & editing over the Particles existing chapters
• Write, Edit, Program the last Particles chapter
• Write, Edit, Program the big finale conclusion with [[redacted]]
• Maybe adding in some [[redacted]] scenes here and there and create [[redacted]] meta images.
• Polish pass over all side content / new stuff.
• Do some programming around unlocks for all the side content/new stuff (I've been just making everything unlock by default for the convenience of the Patreon members)
• More Steam achievements
• Some various GUI improvements
• Research into Steam cloud storage (I have no idea how this works!)
• Research into prepping for the technicalities of doing DLC content in the future (I may have to change how I'm structuring my worlds, not sure yet.)
• Various little tweaks on messaging/info/tutorial type stuff.
• Probably some improvements on the meta gallery images.
• Stuff I'm probably forgetting about????? -_-;;;;
• Testing!
• Research, plan, and organize Patreon key stuff
• Release?!?!?!?!

I'm not sure yet when/if I'll do releases during the Particles & Finale stuff. TBD!

Whooboy! We're getting close to being done! It's hard to believe! I've been working on this game since Feb 2022!

The target is end of Q3, which is end of September. Barring any more major life changes or hiccups (knock on wood, ugh), I think I'll hit it?!?! Wish me luck, haha!
