Release schedule + 4,000 Steam wishlists!

Here’s the plan for v27 through v29.5:
  • v27: Chloe’s Love path scene
  • v28: Aubrey and Mei
  • v28.5: Animating older scenes, starting with v2
  • v29: More Aubrey and Mei
  • v29.5: Picking up where v28.5 left off with the older scenes

Also, By Justice or Mercy has passed 4,000 wishlists on Steam! Thank you to everyone who’s wishlisted the game or passed the demo along to a friend!
I’ve swapped two rewards on the wishlist map. The NPC Relationship Expansion moved from 7,000 to 4,000, which means we’ve already hit its goal! Characters you can’t romance will get a relationship menu of their own. That’s something I can start working on sooner, so it made sense to move it up. The uncompressed 4K version of the full game takes its place at 7,000 and will still be free DLC.
Next up is the first community-voted scene at 5,000 wishlists. You’ll vote on the character, the scenario, and up to two content preferences. If we reach 6,000, you’ll get to vote on a third preference for that same scene.
That replaces the separate walkthrough and path guide I originally had planned. The optional path previews now cover a lot of what I wanted the guide to do, and you can check them right when you’re making a choice. For now, they cover major decisions and paths. If there are smaller choices where you’d like a preview too, let me know which ones!
We also passed the 3,000-wishlist language goal, and I’ve had a change of plans there. I was going to put one new language to a vote, but most of the people reading that poll would already be comfortable with English. So I looked at where the game’s wishlists are coming from and decided to add four languages: Latin American Spanish, Hungarian, Dutch, and Czech.
I like the idea of doing this for people who’ve already found the game and want to play it. If you’ve been waiting to read it in one of those languages, yours is on the way!
