August 25 Development Update

[p]Hey everyone, here's a quick update on how the development of Part 2 is going so far :)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Currently, I'm working on the first episode of Part 2, Episode 10. It contains in-game days 16 and 17. I'm already pretty close to being done, and I expect to finish it by the end of September. One of the changes you can expect in Part 2 is an improvement when it comes to the quality of animations - they will be longer and better than those in Part 1.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The current plan is to release Part 2 in Early Access once Episode 11 is completed, which should be some time around January. I don't think releasing the game earlier would be a good idea, since people would probably complain about the short game length at release (and the first couple of reviews can literally make or break the game's long-term chances). Releasing in December would be a horrible idea because of the Winter Sale happening then. So, if everything goes well, you can expect the game to be released in the 2nd half of January with 4 in-game days of content.[/p][p] [/p][p]This will also allow me to test everything properly so the Steam release should (hopefully) go well without any bugs, problems with importing saves from Part 1, etc.[/p][p]In any case, I'll keep you all updated with a couple more development updates before Part 2 releases. [/p][p]Thank you so much for playing the game and reading, I hope you're all doing well,[/p][p]RobertDeadth[/p]
