Thank you! (Patreon)

This feeling is indescribable. Today I release a complete game.

I know I said 14 December, but you know me...I've never been able to wait for the dates I've announced. Thank the beta testers and proofreader for this.

This is a labor of love. I've worked many thousands of hours to complete this.

It's been such a fun journey with a lot of ups and downs, but this is it, the final release of Acting Lessons.

This game contains:

>5000 renders
217 animations
61 songs
30 sound effects

Those numbers baffle me...

The last render I did was of Liam; the character I love the most in this game. After it was done, I felt empty.

It dawned on me that this was really it. Sure, I can't wait to start the next adventure, but it still doesn't make this feel any different.

For 8.5 months this has been my life. Acting Lessons has been on my mind every single day since April.

It will take some time to get used to not writing dialogue for the cast; it feels like a part of me just died.

But I'm not sad, because I'm damned proud of what I have achieved.

The biggest feeling, though, is how thankful I am. I'm thankful for your generous support.

I'm not exaggerating when saying that this wouldn't have been possible without you, my patrons, because it wouldn't.

This hobby is so expensive that it's a miracle some developers can do this full-time.

So, thank you all. Really. THANK YOU! You helped me achieve a dream and motivated me to continue as a developer.

Now, Episode 8, and thus the complete game, is about to be released. Yes. Today.

If there ever was a time to download the full version with Extras, not the crunched version or the normal version, this would be it.

You will only get one chance to play it for the first time.

Do me a favor and just enjoy it slowly. Grab something nice to drink and seclude yourself.

Play the game with the music on, which has been carefully selected and just enjoy.

Now I'm going to open a bottle of Champagne, I know it's Monday but fuck it, and press that upload button one final time for Acting Lessons.

Cheers (literally)
