As some of you may know, Valve will soon be hosting a festival of summer gaming, which is to feature demos of games that will be released after June 15th, 2020 and before the summer of 2021. Remember when Steam simulcast the Video Game Awards and put up a bunch of demos for unreleased games? It's probably going to be something like that.
After much deliberation, I have decided to push back Cave Confectioner's Early Access release date from late May to June 16th. The game does not really need the extra 3 weeks of development time, but it does need the exposure.
Because of this and prior push-backs, I am also reducing the Early Access period from 12 months to a sliding scale of 6-12 months. In the end, the game will undergo just as much development as was originally planned, but more of that time will have been behind closed doors. I hope that a better initial product will result.
This means a Cave Confectioner demo may be featured in the festival, so keep an eye out! I will also try to figure out my availability for chatting with players, which is supposed to be a big part of the event, so I will announce that in June.
