Hey everyone,
I want to post progress updates on Steam more often but as far as I know, people get emails when I post an announcement (please correct me if I'm wrong). Which is why I don't post as much here because I assume it'll be annoying for most people to get progress emails every now and then. I'm usually around on the discord server for any questions regarding progress etc. I do want to keep everyone in the loop so I'll post more updates here but if it gets overbearing, feel free to comment.
I had to travel the entire month of February so I couldn't make any render progress during that time. I did however code a lot so I got some code out of the way for episode 5. Renders started as soon as I got back home in the beginning of March and are still going on. We're currently at around 250 renders and a few animations. I have some exams coming up on the 21st until the 1st of April and I'll have to travel again for those so renders will pause until then. Coding and bug testing however will continue even while I'm travelling.
This episode will also include a patch that makes your first encounter with Carmine optional. Please note that you will miss out on any side quests from her if you chose to skip her scene from episode 1. I'm adding this because enough players have told me that it feels like it was forced on them. The patch is ready and tested.
I'll have a tentative release date for the episode by the end of this month but please keep in mind that it will take me some time because of the travelling I had to do in February. I'm constantly working on the game though and will keep you all posted more often as long as the posts don't feel to spammy for everyone.
