Hey everyone.


Here it is the end of the month and I’m embarrassed to tell you I still don’t have the new episode ready for you.

This is the first month without a new release since the game began, and I feel bad about it.

So if anyone in the $5+ tier isn’t able to continue their support through August, send me a message and I’ll send you a link to the new episode when it’s ready so you don’t miss out.


What’s the status?

The story and coding are complete and I’m at about 80% done with the renders and 50% done with animations. Some fans are already beta testing what is available now, so as soon as the renders are finished the game should be ready to go.


What’s taking so long?

With Episode 10 I set myself up for a lot of extra work. Not only are there four different possible endings, I also added a new one for those that want to avoid being controlled by Laura altogether.

In addition to completing the Laura arc (at least for now), I also wanted to set up the game for what’s ahead.

In doing all this, the total length of the episode is over twice of most previous episodes because of all the different paths.

So if you are the kind of person who enjoys exploring all the different paths, there should be an extra amount of content for you.

There are a good deal of ways to get out from under Laura’s thumb (or not), so I encourage you to find the course of action that satisfies you the best.

However, if you would rather just go straight for the finish line, I hope the episode still has a good amount to offer.  

I wanted to do my best to make sure the wait was worth it, and in doing so I have added a lot more scenes than originally planned.

Problem is, now I missed the end of month deadline.


The next episode should be light and breezy compared to this one, so I should be able to roll out another update in August in addition to this one.


Anyway, thank you so much again for your support. Couldn’t do it without you.

Fine by me. Thanks for the heads-up.

Take your time instead of rushing the episode ^^

No prob, appreciate the open lines of communication and never fret about us. We're happy with a "Don't worry guys I got this." I always assume that release dates are ideal projections, I'd be fine with once a quarter for your top shelf quality and heart you put into it.

...and waiting longer often means getting more content anyway. :)

I think big updates like the cruise ending work too! As the game continues to branch out feel free to abandon the episode idea and perhaps add certain branches at a time. Can put in a "this choice hasn't been implemented yet, save here and come back". That way you can flesh out some portions without having to advance every possible choice at once with each episode

okay just finished it. can somebody tell me how not to be controlled by Laura? lol

As if now, there isn't really an option for it. In the next update, however, there will be a way to avoid her.

Delays happen, but when you send out a notification of a delay, would you please also set a new date that you're pushing a release to, with maybe a ~3 day error bar around it? When the times are like these, It's good to have something to look forward to- even if the exact date is wobbly, there's a difference between 'Tuesday to Thursday of next week' and 'soon TM'
