Starting Final Testing (Patreon)

I've completed everything for Chapter 10 and am now beginning the final testing/editing phase. I really wanted to have it done before the end of the month, but I wasn't quite able to make it.

As a reminder, if you were a $5+ supporter at any point since December, you're entitled to this release. In addition, this time I think I'll be sending out links to folders rather than individual builds, which - if you save the link - will allow you to get any subsequent bugfixes to it as well. Note: after this release I'll be switching to iterative development, meaning content will come in smaller, more frequent chunks. Those builds with new content will continue to be for current supporters. I'll have a post about version numbering after Chapter 10 is out, but the short version is this:

(Chapter).(New Content).(Bugfix)

So former $5+ supporters will have access to all 10.0.X builds, but not 10.1.X or 10.2.X, etc. I hope this makes sense.

The final testing process usually takes a few days. It involves playing through the release several times, fixing game logic and other stuff I didn't put together right, rewriting parts to make it flow better or make more sense, and trying to edit down the text.

I thought about rushing through the end just to get it out the door by the end of the month, but this release has taken long enough that I think it's worth a few extra days to get it in the best shape I can.

I don't think it will be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I think you'll like it if you've liked the game thus far. I'm very sorry for the delays, and I'm very much looking forward to switching to iterative releases. It'll be better for you and less stressful for me. Thank you very much for your patience and support.
