April Dev Blog (Patreon)

Here’s our detailed status update for April. We’re adjusting our content release schedule to provide more frequent updates later in the month, which allows us to share richer details and developments.

Content Versions:

 We’re supporting standalone versions through two primary formats: public and Patreon-exclusive. The public version provides a complete narrative experience, though certain areas will be restricted. For our Patreon supporters, we’re introducing phased content updates, which we are still in the process of scheduling. These will be identified as Phase 1, Phase 2, etc., and will include both minor and major updates.

Future Standalones Update: 

Henshin has made considerable progress on the alpha versions of future standalone projects. We are currently enhancing the Halloween Alpha with additional content and new features. Moreover, we've started transitioning the Gotham Event to Ren'py and are using this opportunity to test new systems for our upcoming project BoB2. We’re excited about the ideas we’re developing and look forward to sharing updates with you.

SU: Themyscira Update: 

We originally planned to complete both the full public version and a segment of the first phase of Patreon-exclusive content. However, tight timelines and external setbacks led us to prioritize the public version. Significant setbacks included content which was of poor quality and required a complete overhaul of all associated artwork. This extensive rework consumed much of our additional time budgeted for this phase. Consequently, a delay is projected at this point. We will provide an update and expectation on April 27th during our teaser week. Upon finalization, the public version will be deemed "finished" and uploaded to platforms like Newgrounds and Itch in late May, with subsequent additions of music tracks.

April Status Update TL;DR:

• Content Releases: We're launching two standalone versions: a public version with a full narrative but restricted areas, and a Patreon-exclusive version with phased content updates (Phase 1, Phase 2, etc.).

• Future Standalones: Making progress on alpha versions, including the Halloween Alpha. Transitioning Gotham Event to Ren'py and testing new systems for future projects.

• SU: Themyscira: Focus shifted solely to the public version due to tight timelines and setbacks, notably the need to redo poor-quality content. Facing delays, but a full update will be shared on April 27th. Public version to be completed and uploaded to Newgrounds/Itch in late May, with music additions to follow.
