Dev Blog: Themyscira Stand Alone & 2024 Roadmap (Patreon)

Hey everyone, we hope you had a fantastic holiday season and are geared up to jump into 2024 with us. Let's skip the fluff and dive straight into the meat of this month's dev blog, where we have two exciting updates to share: February's Themyscira update and the roadmap for our scheduled releases this year.

February's Themyscira Update:

As we step into the third month of standalone development, (Henshin initiated the project back in November) we currently have a tested version, patiently awaiting new content from SR7. The expected content bottleneck is in progress, and we're working diligently to address it. It's crucial to be transparent here – the standalone version takes precedence over Unity integration. To ensure a complete version by the end of February, we've temporarily shifted Unity implementation to low priority. This means the full Themyscira experience might take a few additional months to integrate fully into Unity. However, we guarantee, there will be a content complete and playable version by the end of February, we just can't guarantee it's in  Unity as well.

Additionally, a few changes are in the works, notably the introduction of a new "support splash screen." This will appear upon exiting or completing content. Furthermore, we'll be releasing multiple versions simultaneously, detailed as follows:

1. Patreon / Itch.io Exclusive Version: This will provide the complete Themyscira experience as intended by SR7. All content in Themyscira will be accessible on PC, Mac, and Android.
2. Public Version (Newgrounds, Itch): A fun experience with several characters fully content complete, playable on any device with a web browser!

2024 Roadmap:

Given the development of three versions of SU, we believe it's crucial to share the release schedule for bi-monthly updates up to October. While the contents of the updates are subject to change, here's our anticipated version release schedule:

• Feb 29th: Themyscira Update (Standalone, Unity)
• April: SU Unity
• June: SU Unity
• Aug: SU Unity
• Oct: Standalone

In the off months, we'll also be rolling out an Android update. We sincerely appreciate your continued support, and for any questions, feel free to reach out on Patreon or Discord.

Cheers,
