Episode Two Early Access – Release Time and Updates
Firstly, I want to thank everyone who has wishlisted Moonlight on Steam. This really helps with the visibility of the game, and I appreciate every single one of you who’s taken the time to do it.
I also want to clarify the release times, as many of you in the Homicide Detective Tier will be getting early access tomorrow. The launch time is 5 PM GMT, so keep your eyes peeled. The game will be available to the Forensic Scientist Tier on November 21st at 5 PM GMT.
This week I’ve mostly been focused on making final tweaks before release. The biggest issue I had to fix was in the Charlie date scene, where 155 renders were missing her eyelashes. It wasn’t as noticeable as you might think thanks to her eye makeup, but it was something I couldn’t leave unfixed. The process was time-consuming, as each scene takes around 6–8 minutes to load, and I had to apply the lashes and spot render them into the original shots. It took me three and a half days, but I’m really happy with the result.
A couple of fellow devs have been kind enough to offer some cross-promotion, which gave me the chance to play through their VNs so I could confidently recommend them to you all. The cross-promo post will go live around the same time as the Forensic Scientist release.
I’ve also started planning out the scene flow for the next episode and updating the beat sheet for the whole game. This will make it easier to access story details when I start writing again. I’m so excited for more of you to play the new update. The early feedback from testers and devs I’ve shared builds with has been really positive.
Thank you all again for keeping me motivated with your kind words and all the chats on Discord.
If you haven’t already, please take a moment to wishlist Moonlight: Season One on Steam. It really helps boost the game’s visibility and supports the project as I continue developing future content.
I’m a happy Bat, thanks.
Cheers,
Bat

Based on comments why, as a dev, even consider NTR/NTS with this kind of art and solid mechanics? This is on the cusp of SWTA, Heaven's Door, poss even Eternum depending on story and whether the paths expand and coding keeps up. By the numbers alone the dev would lose 65%-80% of exposure within months if it goes down a neto rabbit hole. And right as it's pending Steam depolyment? Isn't that what Itch.io is for?
Are you on the correct patreon page ??? because this game, Has absolutely no NTR Or are you asking for the Dev to implement it ???
My November of AVNs keep getting better: Brightlord, Steps of Debauchery (do not judge, this is the only spousal-cheating NTR that I enjoy 🙄🙄😒😒), Seven Realms, and now Bat gives great news with Moonlight. 😄😄😄 Cannot wait and I believe it will be worth the wait. Yes, Charlie looks amazing in that render.
*gasp* 😝 Nah, just kidding. Riley is gorgeous. And technically, it's could also be NTS, if you tell Mike. He likes and approves of those lewd events. He's a better man than me. I would never 😅! That Cher does 🥰! I know, right? We're blessed with so many AVNs 🤗✊🏻🔥!!!
Charlie's eyes really stand out woah
Thanks BB, can't wait to get my hands on it. I will be upping my tier later in the month but funds are a bit tight at the moment, so sorry about that. Hope the release goes well for you I really do, the game is worth it and you deserve it honestly. Have a great week bud 👍 😀
I'm waiting to play it until EP2 release even tough I have EP1 as a public release. The game looks really good and the world and story seems right up my alley

There will be an Android version. I tested it and it’s stable with gesture support as well. It’s not a main focus for development because it’s a small format for these games. However I do understand that man players like that platform so I include one😀
Blink and you'd miss it... Very much looking forward to the release. As for the recommendations, I've not caught one so far that I've felt let down, so bring'em on!
