August 25 Development Update

Hey everyone, here's a quick update on how the development of Part 2 is going so far :)

Currently, I'm working on the first episode of Part 2, Episode 10. It contains in-game days 16 and 17. I'm already pretty close to being done, and I expect to finish it by the end of September. One of the changes you can expect in Part 2 is an improvement when it comes to the quality of animations - they will be longer and better than those in Part 1.

The current plan is to release Part 2 in Early Access once Episode 11 is completed, which should be some time around January. I don't think releasing the game earlier would be a good idea, since people would probably complain about the short game length at release (and the first couple of reviews can literally make or break the game's long-term chances). Releasing in December would be a horrible idea because of the Winter Sale happening then. So, if everything goes well, you can expect the game to be released in the 2nd half of January with 4 in-game days of content.

This will also allow me to test everything properly so the Steam release should (hopefully) go well without any bugs, problems with importing saves from Part 1, etc.

In any case, I'll keep you all updated with a couple more development updates before Part 2 releases.

Thank you so much for playing the game and reading, I hope you're all doing well,
