About the terms of release 'The Library Story' 0.9
Hello friends!
Recently we held a poll on the theme of what kind of posts you'd like to see more often on our pages... The current post definitely refers to the ones you would like to read as rarely as possible. And believe us, we too.
So. We tried really very hard to make finishing ver 0.9 in time (20th July for patrons and 28 July for others). But... Unfortunately, due to some issues in March-April (Xaljio mentioned in the April about), almost two working months were lost, and we still don't have enough time to release 0.9 right in time. Actually we had planned too much content to be added into the game and compiled in a way that everything works well. In spite the fact that some quests are completely ready (in terms of text and graphics), we need a time for adding them into the game and catching all the bugs. For some others quests there are not enough mechanics or some graphics.
Several quests (not yet entirely ready), we postponed to an additional version 0.92, but even in this case, we didn't have enough time to finalize of some big basic quests and, what's not less important - for a full testing of them.
We do apologize for need to take some extra-time to finishing LS 0.9, and, of course, we'll try to avoid such situations from now on.
So, the final terms for the nearest releases of LS:
August 11th - LS 0.9 for patrons
August 19th - LS 0.9 public release
End of September - October - release of LS 0.92 with additional events that weren't be included in 0.9.
Once again, we apologize for the postponement of the release dates.
And thanks for your support and understanding!
P.S. Of course we could take a little bit less extra-time for preparing 0.9, but then there would be a lot of bugs and missing features like new statuses or traits and so on... So that we decided to take some more extra-time for finishing the game.

Привет! Очень крутой контент! Слушай, а можно ли как - то с тобой связаться помимо патреона, очень хочется задать несколько вопросов по рабочему процессу игры. Сам хочу заняться играми такого рода, можешь дать пару советов?
Привет! Спасибо :) Да, конечно, напиши мне на мейл: klatissa [at] gmail . com
Take your time, I really would have a finished game or bug free game then one that trash. So keep up the good work and take your time.
Many thanks for your nice words! We'll try doing our best the 0.9 would be enjoyable for you! ^^`
You should definitely 'enhance' your bodies. I mean, change your malfunctioning body parts for cyborg or 'augmentations' :P This way, you'll never be sick again and could work at least 36 hours a day :3 [That was a joke, don't send me into Binker's Basement D: I'm too young for this D: ]
Trust me, you don't want to go there D:
so why not just take another six months to finish version 1.0
Because it also keeps them motivated and productive to have some tangible release dates where they can show results and get feedback and such ;)
Unfortunate, but i'd rather get a good release later to pump me up (and to) than watching it and becoming disapointed.
Thank you a lot! We think similar way too... I hope the 0.9 will be enjoyable for you ^^`

Hahaha... That's right there! ^^`
Things happen, I understand how unplanned events can completely ruin a well laid out plan. Just keep plugging away and doing what you need to do :)
Releasing a working version is always better. Shit happens, it's natural ;) So take the time you need. And thanks for the news :) Have fun
Yare yare ˚ω˚
^^` :-P
I was looking forward to play the game, but I can understand that problems can happen and delay a project, take the time you need to deliver a good game :)
Oh, thaaaank you so much for your patience and understanding! :-* Well, we'll do our best the game would be pleasant for you ^^`
