Release Restructure #1 - Chapters Close (Patreon)

Hello all

Chapter 1.5 has just been released and I have started work on the beast that is the remaining half (two-thirds) of Chapter 2. That is if everything should follow the plan as it was laid out 6 months ago. Things have changed slightly. Not the release as such but the plan and that is what we are going to talk about today.

As I started out with the design of Horizon I had an idea of how the game was supposed to go. I had seen how Haven turned out and the idea of continuing with the Chapter releases seemed to be feasible. I started out great but as I got going and I fleshed out the structure I quickly noticed that I had massively misjudged the scope of the game when planning out the timescale of the chapters and the release plan. This was mainly due to the fact that I had not factored in any of the new optional paths and content that were not part of Haven's design. I know...I am stupid.

I had two choices. Cut back on content to follow the Chapter plan or rethink the releases to allow a more "free" development structure. Here we are. 

The first step: Chapter 1.5 was the last half chapter release in the normal sense. Every release after this will be Patron first. Public a month later.

The second step: Chapters will no longer be a thing. Every release will have a progress number and a title. Chapter 2 will be renamed. More about that a little later.

The third step: Development will continue as usual. I work every day adding new stuff.

I will make two more posts covering Patreon stuff and Game stuff later. If you have questions feel free to ask.

Have a lovely day
