Status Update #72 - July 26, 2026

The game is probably gonna just miss a July release date. Like, I'm thinking it'll drop in the first week of August. I'll have an official release date out by the end of the month. Relativistically, the wait is now pretty short, so I imagine you guys won't mind particularly much. My only concern is that I still don't have one of the images that I comissioned nearly four months ago. It's been among the most surreal experiences waiting for it; I gave the artist an ultimatum that I'll have to just get someone else to do it if I don't finally receive it this month, so we'll see what happens as of next week. This whole process won't be repeated again in future, and it's inspired me to enforce strict deadlines when it comes to ordering art for the game.

As for the bonus scene, I really do apologize for not putting it out yet. I only just received the art for it yesterday-ish, and it will be out by the end of July. I'm feeling a bit less inspired to work on it considering how close we are to dropping the actual update, but that's no excuse at this late date.

Also, this is the last update before the game officially releases on Steam Early Access! I'll post something when it does, but anyone who wants to support the game and doesn't like using the Patreon/Subscribestar format will be happy to know that purchasing it on Steam guarentees you the first four episodes at the lowest-tier release date. Considering how much content there already is 1-and-a-third episodes in, I think this will end up being a great deal.

Here is today's list:

Writing: 100% done
Coding: 65% done
CGs: All either made or in the process of being made
Animations: 1 more scene to do
Background Art: 100% Ready
Music: 100% Ready

Thanks, and here's hoping I'll have a release date for you this time next week!
