Hello all!
Making deadlines for the release date are always a pain, but these past two weeks has been RIDICULOUS! Folks, between having a "very infamous" virus that is going around again since last week, an ant infestation in part of my residence, numerous issues at my day job, and even losing a loved one...Chapter 5 is still released on-time. I'm very happy to say it was, too...
A few moments ago I switched to the new build of the game on here, the update patch should be minimal since there was a bulk content one sent out a while back, this new one is about 37MB more than the previous live build. Should be an easy update to pull if you're already updated to the newer build. The total install size for the game is now 2.9GB (WHEW!). I was up past midnight last night, tweaking and playtesting to make up for time lost when I was ill. While the past couple of months have been very trying for me on a professional, artistic, and personal level...it's very satisfying to be at the plateau for this particular goal.
Everyone experiences the game at different speeds and aren't always interested in going through all the content in the chapter, but this one actually came out to roughly 9-10 hours of content total. A kept hearing my playtesters that this chapter is a huge improvement over Chapter 4 in many, many ways. So I'm glad that everyone has something truly quality to look forward to. That having been said...
I'm mostly over my illness, but I'll say candidly that I did NOT finish this chapter at a leisurely pace. Not by a long shot. I do work a day job, so my availability is limited to assist or address, but please remember the following:
If you do encounter bugs or issues you need help with, please be sure to make a post in the discussion section, detailing as much about the issue as you can. I will try to keep an eye out this weekend and address things as soon as possible.
For those who have not read previous posts about the changes...
*Chapter 5 is no longer the final Chapter of Kedemara*
What was going to be the final Chapter was split, so Chapter 6 will be the final chapter now.
With all that in mind, I can't wait for everyone to experience this new chapter in Deirdre's story. Thank you ALL for playing and supporting all this time! I look forward to sharing this with you all =)
Thank you!
