New release date for build 0.4 (Patreon)

The New Release date is set for the 1st of December.

I'd like to take this opportunity to explain the reason behind the delay:

When I originally drafted the script for the first 6 builds, it was April and Christmas was the last thing on my dumb mind. As the release triggered in August, I still didn't think Holidays were a thing to consider, driven by the hype of the early feedback and positive reception. There was time…

That is, until I hit build 0.3. Then it was clear that the build 0.4 would be out in November and the 0.5 would follow in December… and here was the problem. I knew for certain I would only be able to work HALF of December and this meant that both 0.5 and 0.6 would be affected (yes, 0.6 release is in January, however most of the work would've been done in second half of December- aka Christmas).

So, we come to me trying to scramble for a solution. I realised that 0.5 would have to be divided and considering that the plot was already clunky in it as it were, the division seemed more natural to the flow of the story. The first half of 0.5 was then moved to 0.4 and the other half to 0.6 resulting in much larger, but more rounded builds.

Unfortunately, I came to this realisation too late and the amount of work for 0.4 grew considerably as I had to create assets from scratch. In fact, the original draft for 0.4 was already finished by the 15th; what I'm actually working on now is the additional hour of content from 0.5 which is moved to this build.

So, there you have it. The reason this build is delayed is because it's much larger than it was originally intended. I'm not struggling, nor breaking mentally. I'm perfectly fine and capable. The only field in which I'm stumbling a little is keeping up with various social media platforms. It would be an immense help if you'd join the discord server, where I'm active every day, talking and sharing information with people on regular basis.

There is also a dedicated patreon channel there for those of you who are on the higher tiers. I post stuff there which is included in your tier perks. I know I'm kinda failing with keeping up with Patreon platform, I promise I'll get a proper update schedule for wips and image previews in December when I catch a breather. At the moment all my attention is solely on pushing out the build on time. I thank you for your understanding and continuous support!

Lots of love,
