Hello everyone!
The last couple of weeks have been quite a busy time for me, but I feel like I've made a lot of progress in spite of everything.
Unfortunately, this is mostly behind-the-scenes work, so this time, there is no preview pic or big render counts to show off.

What has been done?
So far, the whole script for Chapter 2 is written, but... I don't know yet how many renders there will be. What I do know is that it's going to be a long chapter.
Currently, and based on the script, chapter 2 should be at least 25% longer than chapter 1.
With post-render adjustments, it could be even more.

I also worked on the character's cards too, as I needed to make some outfits.
Plus a little work on the body of a certain character.

What am I currently working on?
Now I'm mainly working on the maps that will be used, I've got a few new ones to make so I think that should keep me busy for at least a weekend or two.

What's next?
After doing the maps, I'll be able to provide you with the list of blackboards(or whiteboards) on which you can leave your name (or a message).
Incidentally, I'm planning to improve the tier benefits in this matter for Chapter 2, so that each paid supporter can at least leave his name while higher tiers can write on multiple boards.
Well, I'll tell you more on that in a week or two.

Afterwards, I'll work on the renders, then the dreaded animations.

ETA?
None.
I'm busy with work until at least the end of April, beginning of May, and this next release isn't small.
So I'm not going to take any chances: Chapter 2 will be released in 2025!

Aaaand that should be all?
Thank you for your time and support, and I hope to see you again soon!


Ps: If you haven't seen it yet, I've opened a poll about the music used in the game.
It would be really helpful to have your opinion on the matter.

Hello!

It's been 3 weeks since my last post, so I think a little progress report is in order!
I'm still working hard with what little time I have, but I see the finish line getting closer!

For the new year I challenged myself to release the new update before February, so where am I three weeks later?

Most of Chapter 1 is complete with +400 renders, plus a few more to add, so it turned out bigger than I expected. (Prologue had 300+ renders)
Currently I'm working mainly on animations, but I don't know yet how long it will take me to get the result I want.
With all that said, a release before February is very unlikely in my opinion, but I don't think it will take much longer either.

And that's all for this short progress report!

Thanks for your time! 
I hope to see you soon, and this time I hope with the full preview of Chapter 1!

Good health and happiness for everyone!
Let's hope for a more peaceful year.

As for next release, I was able to make some progress during the holidays to compensate for the busier month ahead.
I won't make any ETA, but my personal challenge is to have it ready before February. The biggest unknown being how long it will take me to do the animations.

Well, that's all from me, I wish you the best for this new year, and I hope to see you soon!
