Happy New Year! (Patreon)

We hope you guys had a good break over the holidays,

December's Newsletter went out to our Patrons' email accounds on the 31st of last month, we showed off some exclusive screenshots of our latest couple of environments, and explained a little about Virtual Novel's time system. We'll update the website later this month for non Patrons who follow us to check out, in the meantime, there's a preview below of what to expect if you haven't already taken a look.

This will be our last newsletter in this format, as we'll be switching to a more frequent blog-based format on Patreon. This means that you'll be kept up to date more often on our progress, and it gives you the opportunity to give your feedback or ask questions, as opposed to the relatively one sided nature of our newsletters. 

We were hoping to be able to give you guys another demo to playtest sometime around now, but we've had a slight change of direction behind the scenes. We still plan to get something out, which will include Touch support for Rift users when it comes, and we're working towards plans for a public demo early this year so we'll need plenty of testers to help us out with stability and bugs. 

We're quite excited about the potential for Touch, especially for a game like Virtual Novel where character interaction plays a large part; is there anyone here not planning to get Touch? For you guys who already recieved your Touch units, how are you liking them so far? We've programmed in some Touch functionality already, but if there's any implementations or ideas you've seen / experienced that you'd really like to see in Virtual Novel, let us know in the comments.

Check out our Soundcloud if you're interested in getting an early teaser of some of Virtual Novel's OST, we'll be updating it occasionally with new tracks, which are made possible with your support here on Patreon!

If you're not following us on Twitter, check us out at @VirtualNovel, and for non Patrons who want to know more about the game but don't have access to our private posts on Patreon, there's info and screenshots at virtualnovelgame.com.

Thanks again for all the support!
