I've updated the Coffee God tiers on both SubscribeStar and Patreon. Both now have their own 3 day early access!

My SubscribeStar page now has it's own exclusive Free Tier, the Moral Support Bro tier. Subscribing to this one offers a 1 day early access to Detached at the massive cost of FREE! Yay! A Discord role will happen eventually. 

I'll also likely be tweaking the other tiers slightly in the near future as I've been doing this a while and actually kind of know what I'm doing as a dev now lol.

Man, what a much needed break this was.

A two week development break (save for the new UI coming in 0.11.0 and the plethora of grammatical errors that were brought to my attention, but that's hardly work to me). I feel great.

Who knew taking a break once in a while did wonders for inspiration.

Anyway, welcome to Chapter 2 of Detached! Lots of stuff is planned for this chapter! More Organisation stuff! More hanging out with girls as you help Daine avoid things the he really should take more seriously! More handholding and [REDACTED]! 

What a wild ride this next year is going to be.

Wait, "this next year?"

That's right!

April 8th is Detached's 1 Year Anniversary of the official public release!

It's hard to believe that I've been working on this stupid little project of mine for almost two years now. It's surreal to me that I've finally made something that I continue to actively share with y'alls.

I can't express just how much your continued support and interest means to me. Really kicks the imposter syndrome square in the nuts, and for that, I thank you.

So what's next?

Well, with Chapter 2 finally being here, a lot, really.

Chapter 1 was largely a whole lot, and yet nothing at all. That was by design. Introduce subplots, hint at them, but ultimately leave them be in the background. They're both important and not.

This is, after all, a game about Daine. Not secret Organisations and weird things for that guy. Nope. Not at all.

Chapter 2 will play out similarly and differently at the same time. What do I mean by this?

Chapter 2 is planned on having a heavier focus on Organisation stuff alongside Daine's usual antics.

This will mainly affect Main Events. There will be two very clear and different sorts. One type with Daine (and will be the regular group interactions, main story, and subplot progression), and another without (purely subplot progression). We've already had a couple without our dear, broken MC-Kun in the earlier parts of Chapter 1, and several at the end. Expect this trend to continue going into Chapter 2.

Girl and Bro Events will remain as they always have, still largely be focused on the interpersonal aspects between Daine and his peeps. This is a dating sim, after all.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the next year.

And I appreciate all of you, and thanks for sticking around!

It's not perfect, but I hope it further helps my attempts to eliminate the sandbox fatigue and one of the more (completely understandable) complaints about Detached.

The UI allows for quick access to specific information (next events, checklist, and stats), as well as quick access to Events and Character screens without needing to navigate the menu to get there.
