Status Update #22 - June 15, 2025

Yo yo

Production of Ep. 2 is as underway as I said it would be last week, with all of the artists working on the game currently doing stuff for me. On my end, I have written quite a bit in the past week and have a much better internal roadmap for how things will be playing out. The biggest challenge in writing this episode is likely to be the fact that it's going to be juggling multiple plotlines at once, as opposed to the first, which was laser-focused on just the one story about the trial. I have to make sure that everything ends up flowing well, which is just a bit intimidating!

I also decided to try hiring someone to design new thumbnails for the game once it launches on Steam. From what I understand, the engagement the game has been getting on available platforms is already pretty good, but why not try making it even better? I'll also be releasing a 1.03 of Episode 1 either in tandem with or before the game is up on Steam...it won't actually change much of anything, but it will be a significant reduction in file size, which some people have been asking me about.

Thanks for reading/playing as always! :)
