(Future Fragments) **BIG EDIT** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POST (Patreon)
Content
So, as we near release, there's something I need to go over with with everyone.
EDIT: Steam will allow me to still generate Steam Keys even AFTER Future Fragments releases, and also, I'm an idiot!
This means that either the FF Patreon will just continue on as an alternative way to get the game on Steam, and at some point down the line, we'll switch it to whatever new game we end up doing, whether that's something else or Future Fragments 2.
The rest of the post is still important to read, though!
------------------
As it stands currently, when, or even if, we'll end up doing Future Fragments 2 is up in the air, because Frouge, Triangulate, and myself are fairly burnt out on Future Fragments as it is.
We have so, SO many different game ideas, IPs, characters, etc. we'd like to make into games, and in all honesty, we've spent nearly eight years on this game and as it stands right now, the prospect of working on Future Fragments (effectively) for another 2-3 years after this to do the sequel isn't something that any of us are really into.
------------------
However, that might change after we release FF 1; we might want to still make FF 2, we might want to make it even less, we might want to make other games first then come back to FF 2, etc.
There's really no way to tell at this point, is all.
Currently, the most likely scenario is that we'll make a few more games, switching the Patreon over to each of them as we work on them, and then come back to FF 2, but this isn't a promise; we may also very well never end up making FF 2.
------------------
And so that brings me to the entire point of this post, and the thing I'd like to give very advance notice about.
Around the start of September, and then mid september too, there'll be two more posts similar to this one.
Both of them will be notifying backers that the Patreon will soon either;
A) Continue on as-is, as an alternative way to get the game (and potential sequel)
Or, B) we'll switch over to a new game for this Patreon.
In either scenario, to be clear of course, we'll continue to provide updates/fixes/polish for Future Fragments 1 for a good while.
------------------
The reason we'll be giving these alerts, of course, is because we wouldn't want people to be caught off guard by either scenario or get charged for something they didn't want to support, etc.
So if you've all got any questions about this, let me know in the comments below and I'll try to answer as best as I can!
