Status update Episode 4
Phew!
All renders are posed and almost fully produced. I'm polishing the game and playtesting it a lot.
Unless I need to add or remove a few renders, episode 4 will contain:
2528 renders
134 animations
21 new songs
14 new sound effects
The binary will be approximately 6.2-6.3 GB.
The winner of last week's poll was "Maya & Quinn: Mother-daughter time". This special render series will be featured in Episode 4.
Next week I will send the game to my beta testers and proof reader.
The release will likely be sometime during the second week of January, between the 6th and 12th, I will announce an exact release date when beta testing starts and the team has gotten a feel for the amount of workload.
Due to Christmas and New Years Eve, testing might take a few days extra, but all tiers that are eligible to get the game ($25, $10 and $5) will be able to get it during January. That's a promise.
I will soon start work on preparing the Steam version for Season 1 as well.
I'm aiming for a February release on Steam, but first I need to test some functionality regarding achievements and DLC to be sure.
After that I will start development on Season 2 and Episode 5, but more info on that next year.
Happy Holidays!

As others have said, your content is really really good, and I've read a shit ton of visual novels in my day, and this is some of the best. Wish all the best man, I hope this does good on steam as well. Cheers.

i was about the ask the same question
I am looking forward to finding out what happens next, as wanting to see the outcome of what happened at the end of Ep 3.
Thank you for the update, DrPinkCake! I know I speak on all your patrons’ behalf that your diligence and hard work are greatly appreciated. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Hyped for the update DPC! Whats the total running time of all the animations in this update?
134 animations = 447.5 seconds = 7 minutes 27.5 seconds Episode 3 had 242 seconds, so we're looking at 84% more/longer animations for Episode 4. It's all thanks to the animation PC that you guys helped me buy.
Thanks for the update DrPinkCake 💗
