Status update - Episode 5

Having a HARD Time · published 21 Mar 2025, 21:36 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone!

I have been working very hard on the next episode for the past few months and have made some good progress. We're not quite there yet, but I would like to let you all know about the current development progress.

I have currently reached around the 1000 renders and 50 animations, which is a pretty cool milestone in my opinion. I'm still working hard on the rest pretty much every day. There is still so much to do, but the episode is really shaping up nicely. I'm certain you guys will love it.

I don't have a release date or estimate yet, just trust me that I'm working hard on it and I hope you all can be patient for a bit more. I think the episode will end up as big as, or larger than, episode 4. But it will still need some time before we get there.

For now have a great day and enjoy the weekend!

~ Quadruple-Q
