Ahoi! Lead dev here and it's uh... It's been a minute. We've been hard at work on chapter 2 and we were hoping to have it out for you guys by the beginning of February. It's quite clearly a bit past the beginning of February though... so as you might assume there's been a few setbacks.
Back in December, we released a Lil update showcasing the first level of Viscerafest's second chapter, but prior to that, we were originally going to have another content update. Quite clearly that didn't happen and a lot of that just has to do with us underestimating the scope of what we were trying to implement, that being the games modifier/store system. For the time being that has been shelved, but our push to get that ready kinda set us back a Lil bit.
Shortly following the release of the chapter 2 teaser the file sharing service known as Unity Collab that our team had been using up until that point crapped out on me. I lost connection to the project altogether for a period of about a week, meaning effectively I couldn't get any work done. We did manage to fix the issue but that quite obviously set us back even more.
This all in turn meant that whilst we were supposed to have Viscerafest chapter 2 content complete by the 31st of December... that didn't end up happening until the 26th of January.
We are currently on clean-up duty, our beta testing teams are running through chapter 2 and positively destroying it so we can make sure things are as stable as they can be by launch.
Or they were before our lead programmer Elijah caught Covid effectively preventing us from being able to fix issues and make new builds for testing.
So yeah... we're sort of in a limbo of uncertainty right now as far as when *exactly* chapter 2 will be done. We are pretty close to having the second chapter in a releasable state and our new plan until Elijah got sick was to release the content update near the end of February/beginning of March, but it is looking like we may quite possibly have to push that back just a bit more.
We are sorry things are taking so long. It's been a very frustrating experience for all of us as of late. But I can indeed confirm Viscerafest Chapter 2 is coming out in the nebulous period of soon, and I can also say that despite the troubles we've been facing internally, it is pretty awesome.
Currently, Viscerafest is on sale, being 15% off. If you haven't done so yet and would like to nab the game at a discounted price then feel free to do so. I want to end by saying thank you to all of the wonderful folks who've been supporting us throughout the game's development. Whether it be through kind words, fan art, or just buying the game, we really can't thank you all enough for the love you've given us. That is all for now! I hope you guys have a wonderful day.
