Announcing the V0.5 Release Date! (Patreon)
Content
Thank you all so much for your patience and support as we've been working on the next build of On Your Day Off, we're excited to announce that we have a release date for V0.5! Mark your calendars, because the PUBLIC release will be on July 15, with the PATREON release dropping 1 week earlier on July 8!
While the Public release on our itch.io page will have separate paid and free versions of the demo, the Patreon release will be only the paid version of the demo, available to members of the Recurring Supporter tier at no extra cost (i.e., if you're a Recurring Supporter, you get the paid version for FREE, and you'll be listed in the game's credits as a supporter). The Patreon release will be accessible via a Google Drive link, which will be posted on July 8.
So, all that said, here's what's going to be included in the V0.5 release:
A total of 13 complete story routes that have unlockable/replayable endings (7 Free, 6 Paid)
Note that while the story content and full images for all these routes are completed, in some cases the sequence images and sound effects have not been completed/implemented. These will be addressed in future releases (basically, these routes are finished, but some of them still need further polishing/enhancing).
A brand new wiki site that's going to be replacing the playthrough guide and will provide detailed release notes, additional info about the characters, routes, themes, and more
Spoilers for upcoming content
A special note for Recurring Supporters: On July 15, your billing cycles will be put on pause. We're not going anywhere, but we're going to be taking a short break to recharge. During that break, we won't have any real content to share on Patreon because everything we have will be available in V0.5, and it wouldn't be fair to continue charging you when we don't have any new content put out for you. However, when we start working on the next round of updates for V0.6 and develop more content for it, we'll restart your billing cycles then (and we'll give you a head's up before we do so).
Thanks again for all your support and patience along the way, we're so excited to release the next version of On Your Day Off for you in July!
