Hey everyone, it's early Friday morning February 28th, and what I was hoping would be the release date of official beta version of A Family Venture. I just wanted to give you all a heads up that it's not looking good for the beta to be released today. 

It's a whole bunch of things preventing us from finishing today, mainly that trying to ad two new events into the beta that weren't in the alpha, was more ambitious than we realized. We've also had issues with normal everyday work and life events taking up too much of our time, even a few computer issues slowing up development.

Good news, is that it's not going to be badly delayed, in fact tomorrow's a very likely possibility for the release date. I just know that it would take a miracle to be ready today, and more often than not, miracles don't happen. 

I'll try to be active on the Discord as much as I can later today and tomorrow, and let you all know how things are looking for a March 1st release date. 

Have a great (hopefully AFV filled) weekend!

I just wanted to let everyone know where we are on the release of our official version of our 0.09-v2 update. We typically take one to two weeks after the alpha to release our official build, and for this version, it's going to be closer to the 2 week mark. My current estimate and goal for the official release is Feb 28th exactly two weeks from the release of the alpha. Besides fixing some bugs and spelling errors, there will also be a couple events that didn't make the alpha, but will be present in the official/beta release. We just need that extra week for testing and getting everything running smoothly. 

If for some reason, it's going to release later than Feb 28th, I'll let you all know, but for now, I think we can be optimistic about that date. 

We've had some pretty positive feedback so far about the content of the update. There were a couple big fixes that needed to be made if you were playing the route that is in-between the loyalty and ntr route, but thanks to our test group, that problems been identified and should be functioning well in the beta. Thanks to all our testers for not only supporting the game at your current tier, but that feedback is so invaluable to help us find things that we couldn't find on our own. 

We'll stay busy on our end, and if any of our testers run into anything else that hasn't been reported, let us know in the #alpha-bug-report channel on our discord. You can see what's already been reported there as well. 

Thank you everyone who supports the game, or has ever supported in the past. Your support makes a difference to the development of AFV and we've had such a positive response in the level of support of our game since the alpha release, that if holds steady, will allow us to make some exciting changes in the development of AFV that could significantly decrease the amount of time between updates. 

I'm grateful to you all, and I hope you all have an amazing week!
