Hello, heroes! 💋
We’ve got a very important topic on the agenda today — when will the full release of Shana – Priestess of Tona finally happen??? If everything goes well, we’ll be able to release the game this fall, just as promised. But let’s take it step by step — grab yourself a cup of tea, because this is going to be a long story ⤵️
At first, we thought we’d make it in time for a late-October release — the dates looked perfect. But then things started to happen. We submitted the full version of Shana for Steam review a month and a half before the planned release, since we’d heard from fellow developers that adult games are currently taking a long time to get approved. And, well that’s exactly what happened to us 😖
Our game was rejected twice because the adult content questionnaire was supposedly filled out incorrectly, even though we did our best to fully describe all the adult content the game includes. Apparently, the rules have become even stricter — and we simply had to comply ❤️🩹
We fixed everything, resubmitted it, and waited for feedback. By that point, we realized we’d have to say goodbye to an October release, as we were stuck in limbo waiting for the review process to be completed. But we didn’t waste any time — while waiting, we managed to add levels 4 and 5 and even created a demo version, which we showcased during Next Fest! 😮
So yeah, we added levels 4 and 5. Sounds easy, right? Just a bit of back and forth and straight to production. We wish it was that simple! But, unfortunately, the content won’t draw itself. So we’re working hard on filling out the new levels, still updating the UX/UI, and of course — our favorite part — making love with the game balance. We’re deeply in love, you have no idea!! 😍
We’re planning to have everything ready by the end of November, but we’ll keep you updated in case anything changes our plans! In the meantime, add the game to your wishlist — we’re just a little bit away from reaching the 30,000 wishlist mark!
