12/28 Status Update

Early March:

Release of act 1. This will be the official launch of the game. Because of artist timetables, this is pretty much the earliest the game can possibly come out and have all of the art in it. I would have liked to keep my early January plans, but things take time I suppose.

The rest of 2025:

Act 2 should take a year and a half to make. That's four months per POV. This is again based on artist timelines. Each POV will need 15 pieces of scene art, and about 1 piece is made per week. Add in a little bit of flex time for setbacks, and that's where the four months comes from. So the title of this section really is more like the rest of 2025 and 2026.
