This week in one sentence: Wrapped up that third scene for the chapter 2 preview, and pushed out a beta, and that means we're just about set for a Steam release.

Up next: Fixing what comes out of that beta, and I'm already starting work on a 4th scene, but I'm not sure I can cram that into the preview in time for the release, so I might end up adding that in into the preview just after the release.

Further more, don't forget to wishlist The Velan Reach on Steam.

This week in one sentence: Pushing hard to wrap up that third scene in time for a Steam release, and the game now has a release date on Steam (it's the 20th of November).

Up next: Getting those scenes into the build and do all the other release stuff (but luckily on a much smaller scale since it's just three scenes), and putting a quick beta together. I'm really excited about all this, and also a bit scared, but mostly excited.

Finally, a release date for Steam! I've set it to launch on the 20th of November, around 8 am PST (which will be about 5PM where I'm at). Well, I say I set it, but all it does is set a timer, I still have to log in and press an actual button on a page when the time comes. Oh well.

So that gives me just over two weeks to get a bunch of stuff done. The Velan Reach will ship on Steam with chapter one in full, and a preview consisting of the first two (or three if I can cram that last one in this week) scenes of chapter 2, a few new character peculiars, one achievement, hopefully some audio description enhancements, but some of this stuff will be down to the wire so maybe not all of it.

I'm hoping one or two of you in the Sir/Ma'am tier will give this version a quick spin to proof it. With a couple of scenes only it shouldn't be too much effort. You'd be getting a beta Steam key so we can test out the actual installation.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments below and I'll get back to them as best I can. And if you haven't wishlisted The Velan Reach yet, the coming week or two is the time to do so, and to tell your friends to, and maybe that'll nudge that effing algorithm a bit my way. 

Cripes, I'm nervous about this, but also excited. Hope you are too.

This week in one sentence: Bonus images for scene one and two complete, and I've made some inroads with a third scene even, that I'm bumping up a little, at least part of it, and on top of that a small outfit preview up here on Subscribestar, and some more impromptu cleanup of images from chapter 1.

Up next: Still preparing to have a Steam release this November for The Velan Reach, hopefully with that third scene included too, and some rewriting of earlier bits is due for continuity.
