Devlog #6 - H̶a̶l̶l̶o̶w̶e̶e̶n̶ U̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ release date announcement!

Hello, everyone!

The newest update—encompassing Day 3 Night—is finally here! It's a spoOoOky update, so I thought it would be fitting to release it on Halloween! Those of you in the Great Old Ones tier, please look forward to having access on Friday, the 31st, with each tier after that gaining access 3 days later.

Release dates:

• The Great Old Ones - Friday, October 31st

• Sun Gods - Monday, November 3rd

• Lovers - Thursday, November 6th

• Public - Sunday, November 9th

This chapter encompasses the night of Day 3. If you'll recall, chapter 4 ended with Wake getting a call from Frankie, inviting him to investigate a case. That is the content of this update. More than any other update so far, this chapter is contained and focused and mostly unfolds in real-time. This chapter is very Frankie-focused, but it also features the first significant interactions between Wake and side characters such as April, Billie, and Liam. Check out the changelog below!

Changelog:

• +1,000 renders

• +35 animations

• +100+ SFX

• +15 music tracks

• +20 voiced lines

• +4,000 lines of code

And that's pretty much it! I wanted to make this post a day or two ago, but I've been having really weird PC troubles that have made proofreading a little harder. My monitors keep going black like the computer's abruptly shutting down, but then the fan starts screaming until I actually force shut it down with the power button. Thankfully, this only started happening after I had already technically finished the update and sent the build to get proofread, but I almost immediately thought of some other stuff to add—nothing crazy, like 20 extra renders worth of scene extensions—so maybe it's just my PC's way of telling me to chill with last minute additions. Hopefully, I can figure out what's going on and keep you all updated on that because if this happens while working on animations or entire scenes rather than just minor stuff, it'll be a real issue for me wahhh lol

Thank you for reading and for your patience over these past few months. I really hope you enjoy the update...
