The State of Play December 2019 & Reward Update: ($15+ / $20+ / $25+) Final Calls (Patreon)

Happy Holidays everyone, another year has flown by hasn't it? To round out the final month of the year we wanted to get some more details out around current thinking as well as share a recent development that we haven't shared yet.

In November we were in Japan doing the recording for the vocal assets of Idol Empire which have since been completed and we are now in the process of editing, documenting and implementing them into the main game. Beyond some revisions that are being done to the art assets this will mark the last big addition to the game and the focus will now be towards preparing the release build.

As such Beta 31-1 will now mark the end of new Patreon beta builds with the additional content, tweaks and polishes being available in the Patreon early release and the full release. We still haven't decided on the final date at this time however with it now being the final hurdle we do not suspect it will be that much longer. Once decided we shall update you on this.

In terms of updates around perks those at the $20+ tier who will be having their name included in the credits this list will be pulled in the backing month of January 2020 . If you would like a value other than your Patreon name (within reason but also that the desired name is appropriate) please ensure that this is sent via Patreon DM before 31st January 2020.  Submissions for this will open on the 1st January 2020.

For those at the $25 tier which includes a 150 x 150 image you will need to include the following phrase in your submission along with a link to the image: I, the submitter have full legal rights to the picture and allows Love in Space Inc. to display the picture during the ending credits . We also need to clarify that these images cannot violate IP in any capacity which will include fan arts that are not your own. nfortunately while we understand this may cause disappointment for some submissions that may have been desired we cannot take the risk. Again, submissions for this will open on the 1st January 2020 and have a deadline of the 31st January 2020.

We will also be updating the current 'the full early release game on Steam if you've backed the Patreon for at least three months ($5 tier or higher) of the current project's development' tier perk to 'the full early release game on Steam if you have contributed $15+ between November 2018 and the month of the final call post in addition to backing the Patreon for the month of the final call post'. This will mean the tier you're backing will be irrelevant as long as you've met this amount during this development period and are backing at the point we pull the list of backers. This will hopefully make it a bit easier to know if you qualify for the key in the month of issue. The final call post has not yet had a date been decided at this time but we will aim to give roughly the same amount of notice as we are for the credits.

Additionally the song name submissions for the $15+ tier will be closed at around the same time as the credits deadline so if you haven't made your post or have thought of more that you would like to provide then remember to post these here to ensure your idea is not missed.

Lastly tomorrow we will be hosting the first of the team Q&A sessions on our Discord so remember to swing by if you have something you'd like to ask a member of the team or to see what topics come up. Please remember to read the following post for details if you will be joining us.
