📅 Release schedule - IHKY & Carnal Contract

Hey Subscribers!

This will be a relatively short post with our release plans for the rest of the year. We still have quite a lot coming for both games! 😄

What’s Coming

Here’s the current plan:
  • I Have Known You — Chapter 5 / v5.01 - Second week of November
  • I Have Known You — Exploration Mode / v6 - First week of December
  • Carnal Contract — New Content Update / Episode 10 - December 

I Have Known You — Steam Release Update

And now for the slightly less fun news. 😅
I was planning to release I Have Known You on Steam on November 19th, but I completely forgot that GTA 6 is launching on exactly the same day. 😂
After talking with a few other developers and publishers, pretty much everyone told me the same thing: releasing an indie game against GTA 6 would be a terrible idea. November is already pretty busy, and December isn’t much better because of the Steam Winter Sale.
So after thinking about it for a while, I made the decision to move the Steam release to February 2027.
Unfortunately, that’s the closest I can realistically move it. January is also not a great month for releasing games, so February seems like the safest option.
I know some of you might be disappointed by this, and honestly, I’m not exactly happy about delaying it either. 😅 But I really want to give IHKY the best chance possible when it finally launches.
The Steam release is very important for the future of the game. We need the launch to perform well so that I can have the budget to continue working on IHKY and keep adding more content.
I’ll change the date on the Steam page today or tomorrow, and I’ll also post an announcement there so everyone following the game knows about the change.

More Posts Coming Soon

In the next few days, I’ll also make a couple of other posts.
One will be about Carnal Contract, where I’ll show you what I’m planning for the next update.
The other will be about the Exploration Mode coming in IHKY v6 and what exactly I’m planning for it.
And for the Exploration Mode post, I’ll definitely need your feedback. I have some ideas about how I want it to work, but I’d like to hear what you guys think before I finalize everything. 👀
So yeah… the Steam release is moving to February, but there’s still a lot coming before the end of this year. 😁
Thank you for sticking with me! ❤️
