Release date of 'The Library Story' v 0.97.5! (Patreon)

Hello friends!

As we mentioned earlier, we completed a significant part of work (albeit in some places only in a rough draft). Therefore, now we can announce the release date with sufficient confidence. Of course, it's necessary to take into account possible force majeure, especially in the current turbulent time... But let's not talk about it now. It's better to finally announce it, without further ado!

So!

'The Library Story' 0.97.5 release date for patrons:

September 26, 2022

Public release date:

October 17, 2022

In this version you will see:

- For the patrons who support us more than others ($10+): A HUGE continuation of the Tentacle-tree storyline, which is gonna increase greatly the circle of acquaintance with the townspeople. It is supposed also deepen and expand (^__^) its relationship with Belle... She will have significantly more work in the garden as well as other ways of spending time there. ;)

- New big quest and recurring activity in the Reading Room:  Belle and Tongas' collaboration on books. Not only work, but also leisure, of course... This is the basis of a separate interactive scene in the future versions, so it’s worth seeing! Furthermore, in the Beast questline now (primarily with the search for a solution to defeat his assistants), the placeholder will be replaced with a full-fledged story episode. That can not but rejoice!

- Development of the dog questline. Gaston's pet will take part in both current quests and new events. Besides, Gaston will be able to get new improved armor! And his pet will help him in this. We have been planning to add this episode into the game for a long time, but we are only doing it now. In fact, we are very pleased with it ^^` .

- A series of events in the Hunters Guild, which will finally acquire its own premises. We plan to develop this location in the next versions. But we will add some stuff already in this version.

- New mechanic: absence of Gaston in the town. Life does not stop at this time! We think to describe this moment more detailed in future news.

- A number of additional small and medium-sized events (its number and content are still being specified and will depend on our success in the project and the workload in the main work).

We planned to release this version earlier, but, unfortunately, politics and everything that happens in the world and in our country... Okay, let's not repeat ourselves, you already know. We sincerely hope you enjoy 'The Library Story' 0.97.5! In any case, we've put a lot of effort into this (and are gonna put more, no doubt!) We continue working on the project, we have huge plans for the future versions, and we are VERY grateful for your support all this time! We are making 'The Library Story' just for you, guys (for ourselves, of course, too ^__^). Thank you!

Stay in touch, in the next news we're about to talk  more detailed about what you will see in the upcoming release, as well as publish some art that is not included it the poster... But it may surely interest you very much. After all, it's supposed to be related to Betsy, who is at least as good as Belle in terms of popularity in all polls. ;)
