I need more time

To be honest, I really thought I could push an update this month. I couldn't.

Content-wise, what is there is enough to justify a part release, it is currently about half the length of the previous episode. There could be more; but not with the steam release and a slight hiccup last month.

To make things short; I need more time. The next release will come next month; I am close enough to be sure.

Part 1 - Episode 2 expands on character's stories and the world; both properties take a great deal of care and love to properly tell. My experience with Game of Hearts is limited to the intimate and personal aspects of a story, but the world, how demons, humans, and angels exists and interact is a different beast—not something I am used to.

I have failed to uphold my word in regards to the release date, and it truly disappoints me. Words must hold meaning, after all.

I am, however, very close to finishing the next update. The finish line is in plain sight; it's now more about ensuring a consistent quality from start to finish, and give each character enough space and attention.

For this one, I want to pour as much as I can as a creator, see how much I've grown, and also to see where the ceiling of my ability lies. The one thing I despise most is stagnating; every major release should contain growth. You deserve nothing but my best, and I hope you'll understand what I mean after the episode releases.

Thank you for your support. I understand this will come as a disappointment to some; but I believe it is for a better reason.

Happy holidays, and I hope you have a great year ahead.

Bro jaja I play the game just to enjoy me and my little friend, to tell you the truth, you blew out my mind. The story is amazing, now I just want to know the whole story. How many episodes do you have on steam, is an updated? Or do I have to buy from here to get more episodes?

You clearly work harder than 90% of AVN Devs, and the quality of your work is much better too. So I think most of us here will be understanding. You also didn't make any excuses for the delay like most Devs. Take a look through other Dev's Patreon updates, it's literally nothing but excuse after excuse. "Oh my dog died", "oh my entire family was killed in an explosion", "oh I was diagnosed with 15 different cancers". We respect your integrity, so keep up the good work, we will wait

Keep your own speed, and the quality of the game comes first! Can you adjust the breasts of female characters in the future? Love comes from China fans!

The fact that you believe that there should be continuous growth with each update/part is already enough for me. I'm patient when I know quality work is being done, and I do not mind waiting, I know what you create will be well worth it. Remember to take it easy as well, we all need breaks to prevent burn out and stress. Thanks for all the hard work!
