Tune in to the show Part 2 · published
Hey everyone, some shit news today, mostly :(
As you already know, I wanted to release Part 2 in Early Access around January when I finish Episode 11 of the game. Unfortunately, Steam has recently revised its rules, and adult games are no longer permitted to be released in Early Access. Here's what I got when I sent a build of the game for review:
So, this pretty much throws all of my plans into the bin. The whole point of me releasing Part 2 in Early Access was to make sure I have enough money to actually finish the game. I know this is a shit situation for everyone, but here's what I came up with:
Part 2 will be released in the summer (most likely either July or August of 2026) and will contain Episodes 10-13, in-game days 16-23. This should be plenty of content.
Then, Part 3 (or the last part, or whatever it's gonna be called) will be released around the same time in 2027 and will contain Episodes 14-16, in-game days 24-30. This would be the last part of the story.
Of course, Parts 2 and 3 will be cheaper since I basically cut the original Part 2 in half.
So, instead of Early Access, you'll get two normal releases with a lot of content. I understand that it sucks for you, it also sucks for me, but it seems like adult games are in a bad situation overall right now. I guess you can expect a lot of the developers (at least, those who aren't rich) to divide their games into seasons or just focus on creating small games now. Let's just hope they won't ban adult games altogether.
Anyway, onto some better news - the work itself is going pretty well. I finished working on Episode 10 a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently starting work on Episode 11. If you can't wait to play Part 2 or would just like to support the development more, Episode 10 is already available on my Patreon page.
In any case, I'll see you all with another development update when Episode 11 is close to being done. Thanks so much for your support, reading, and playing the game! Hope you're all doing well,
