Release Update + Lamia Voice Preview! (And Credits query!) (Patreon)

So, I've been holding off on making this post, since I hoped things might be able to work out, but I have some unfortunate news regarding the launch of the first chapter of 'Quest Failed'. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to release on the late August date that I had planned. (Which would have been around about now if everything had worked out!) I'm really sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for those looking forward to the title.

I want to be as transparent as I can on the status of things though, and definitely owe you guys--who have supported me on this first, crucial step--a more detailed explanation than just "sorry, delay, bye."

I had planned out the original August date when I looked at the rate the art was being completed, and assumed that if things were to keep at that rate, everything would be ready in time for the big, fancy launch. Due to various commitments/changes in situation that have cropped up for nearly all of the artists involved in the project however, the rate at which the art is being completed has changed--meaning there's going to be a delay in receiving those last crucial finished CG scenes.

So, that's the bad news that I really feed bad about having to deliver, as I was really confident that things were going to be done on time! And I'm sure the question you all have now is, "Well, when IS the first chapter going to be released?" Well, that's where the not so unfortunate news comes in!

The first chapter will be delayed from its late August release, but the artists are still working incredibly hard when they can, and are aiming to finish things up as fast as they can still. Meaning this delay should be little more than a couple of weeks at the most. It'll give me time to go over the script a little more and add in some extra polish, too, and maybe add in a few more extra little surprises~

Thanks again for all of your support so far, it really means a lot to me, guys! It won't be long now, I promise~ Of course, if you have any concerns over anything, or questions regarding the delay, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Additionally, so it isn't all doom and gloom, I've attached to this news post a small voice sample of a rather sultry lamia to tease what's to come. I hope you enjoy her voice as much as Jilly and Tari's! She certainly goes in a very different direction from the happy/dozy voices of the other two, and her VA has opted to give her a very 'snakey' kind of feeling, where sometimes she'll draw out her "s" at the end of a word. Rather than be full of energy and excitement when wrapping poor Matt up in her tail, she opts to get inside his head with far more sultry teasing--aiming to break him both mentally, and physically~

Ohhh, and one last thing! I'll be compiling together the final credits list for the game soon. I of course want to thank all of you, my beloved patreons that have made what used to be a dream come true--so I want to thank you all in the credits. If you have a particular name/pseudonym you'd wish to be credited by, please let me know by comment or PM, otherwise I'll just consolidate you into a more anonymous listing, since I know some people might not want their names to show up in this kind of product, haha~
