No Alpha/Demo Update This Month (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

August is winding down next week and so I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of what's going on for the Alpha release of Kingdom of Passion.

== Alpha Release Delay ==

My goal this month was to release an Alpha update/demo to Patrons to provide some content to help break up the wait.

However, a playable demo in one month's time was a bit too lofty of a goal, and a demo would feel too incomplete and stitched together right now.

Instead, I'll be pushing back the release, possibly skipping the "Alpha" naming entirely and releasing Beta 0.1 depending on how where I feel the update is in terms of completion. 

Because there's still much more that needs to get done, I don't want to get ahead of myself and announce a new release window just yet.  As always, I will keep you all updated once I have a better idea of that as well.  I will also continue to share updates as development continues so you can stay up to date.

My apologies to those looking forward to trying out the game this month.  But also, thank you for your understanding!  

I will try my best to make sure this first update is worth the wait!

== Update Progress ==

(Might as well talk about progress while I'm here)

The month of August was full of map design!  The main map (similar to Valencia in ToP) is the big obstacle.  So far, the starting area is complete and I've also been working on smaller maps like the one pictured above.  Can you guess who/what this location might be for?

While there are still more maps to work on, I'll be focusing a little more on gameplay and cutscenes next month.  Kingdom of Passion will have more puzzles and minigames just like Town of Passion so I'm working on both brand new ideas and refreshed takes from ToP.

Next month, I might do some Patron polls as well for parts of the game that I'm still a bit undecided about.  I'd love to get some feedback to see what you all prefer.

Once again, my apologies to those looking forward to trying out the Alpha this month.

I will continue to keep you all informed on the game's progress and what's to come.

Thank you, stay tuned!
