Release Date Update

Shark Dating Simulator XL+ · published 20 Jul 2017, 00:20 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello fish-fans. Sorry to say, but I've decided to give myself more time to work on Shark Dating XL before I set it free into the world. Originally I was hoping for an early-access release on Saturday the 22nd of July but while I might be able to do that it would be a rough and very unfinished game. I would like my early-release edition to be fully functional and only expect my audience to come up with useful suggestions rather than drop a half-baked product full of shortcomings I'm already aware of on them.

Although it is but a visual novel it runs on an engine I coded myself (using AppGameKit) rather than using one of those make-your-own-VN software jobs, and while this means I get a lot more freedom and flexibility, it also means I have to do ALL the work! :3

There's also the art, which I am redoing all over from the original small mobile game as XL uses a larger screen ratio (an 1280x800 window, rather than the original 1024x600).

So all that considered, I've pushed the offical release date back to Monday the 7th of August. It might be that I won't need that long and if so I'll release it earlier but at the moment that's the date I'm going to aim for. Thank you for your patience!

Community30 Nov 2021Last day for the crowdfunderHello folks. Today is the very last 24 hours for the Shark Dating XL+ crowdfunder over on IndieGogo! There's still merch left to claim - at this point, we reached 87% of the goal (that's £2,639 out of £3,000, math fans) which isn't too bad at all. It'll keep me going over Christmas anyway, as Indiegogo pay out even if the goal falls short. But if you haven't pitched in and would still like to,…In-game event10 Nov 2021Update 1.0.4Why hello there. SDSXL+ 1.0.4 has just dropped into your Steam tray. New features include: Text to Speech option added. It sounds much as you'd expect, depending on which TTS languages you have installed on Windows, but the game can now read out the dialogue for you. It makes the odd curious goof, but it tries its very best. Save/Load game functionality added. Access this from the options menu…Game update6 Nov 2021Hotfix 6/11Another hotfix! · Fixed the original game being corrupted in the download. · Some minor spelling errors, etc. corrected. · The menu screen has been reverted to regular colours as we're past Halloween at this point. · Minor bits and piece. Trading cards, backgrounds, badges etc. are currently in review so hopefully these will go live next week. - Catfood
