Release date! And also I'm pausing the pledges...

NO PANIK, the game is still in development and an update is coming on this month!

I have addressed this before in a patreon-only post, but I will clarify this publicly so there are no false expectations. Since updating all the sprites is taking me longer than I expected, I'm going to post an update only with those art changes this month, and then another one with the new scenes later.

If I had only done the sprites from the beginning, this "art update" would have come quicker, but instead, I tried to do both the sprites and the new scenes, combined with a schedule already tight by college... was too much for me to handle. The reason I tried to do both is because only updating the sprites is not very exciting for a update, but now I'm stuck with this predicament.

As for the release date, I don't have a precise date, but it has to be before Christmas if that's any consolation. The update with the new scenes is planned for next month since part of the work is already done, if I can't do it by then I will probably pause the pledges for that month too....

And on that subject, the decision to pause on the pledges (pause the billing cycle to be more precise) is not just a whim of the moment, I intended to do it earlier, but if I had done so, the development would have come to a complete halt and that I tried to avoid that at all costs. I honestly couldn't spend more time on development, I have my hands full with work and university. But now that I am finally going to graduate (December 10th) I will have more time to work.

I am doing this to show that if it takes me time to work on the game, it is not out of laziness nor am I artificially extending the development time to take advantage of you guys. Your support means a lot to me, not only in the monetary sense, thank you.

And that's all for now, I'm going to keep drawing...

Bye~
