Release plans leading into 2024! (Patreon)

Kinda a small post to toss out after our v0.20 pt 1 release last week! ^^" I think there's been some confusion as to what we have in mind for the next few months, how we're handling supporter vs public releases as we get things rolling again. I'd like to clear things up though.

Before we dive into showcasing our planned releases. I would like to be up front with our supporters that our next release is v0.20 pt 2, originally planned for Nov 18th. We are changing this to Nov 19th. (Probably not a big issue for many, but I overlooked that I'll be gone all day on the 18th.)

Okay, below is our schedule for releases, both supporter & public fans.

(Even if you're a inactive supporter who supported us in total of $5+ in past years. You should be receiving the v0.20 series of releases through Patreon Messages directly. If you know you qualify, but there's no message. Reach out to me, Patreon's filter system is a bit awkward.)

-All sprite assets have been fully replaced and updated with their finalized art.
-New episode 5 splash screen art added.

v0.21 (Late January - Supporters) (Late February - Public)
-Nova & Lola route episodes.
-Episode 1 quality of life fixes & additions. (sprite  animation/effects, new transitions, sound direction fixes, new cg  variants/outcomes, better pacing for choices/interaction, new scenes.)


I wanted to toss this out there once again, because I feel there has been some confusion for our public fans assuming we've forgot about them.. >.< It's just a very awkward period in trying to get everything equal once again between the supporter vs public releases with where we left off.

There's no perfect way in handling the releases above, but we're not playing favorites by any means. Supporters do technically get content to enjoy right now during November into December, but then that's it. They have to wait until at least the end of January for v0.21.

Public fans get their bulk of content during December into January on the flip side, but then they have to wait until roughly the end of February before v0.21 is out for them.

That's just how we're able to handle things as we get back on track. With v0.21 and v0.22, it'll finally equal everything back out once again between supporters and public fans. Each release from then forward should be every 30-40 days is our plan and looking at what v0.21 offers, that'll be the expectation with content forward. (Example: v0.22 would feature Miki & Bridget route episodes + Episode 2 quality of life fixes.)

Thank you all for understanding and being patient with us, we're not quite out of rough waters yet clearly. Just please keep that in mind with our plans to get us back on track for the new year. <3
