This dev diary was originally posted exclusively to patreon subscribers on 31st March 2023.
Welcome back!
Hopefully you have all had the chance to play the new release.
Getting it done in time came right down to the wire. Both the writer and I had some personal things come up that got in the way but we managed to pull together to push over a mostly finished 2303 release.
As you may have noticed by the warning towards the end we didn't get chance to finish the audio in the last section before we had to go live. We are working on that as we speak and aim to push out a quick hotfix to get that working in the next few days.
Other than that, the release has had a very warm welcome and I'm glad you guys were able to see the hard work we have pumped into redesigning the game including the extra story depth, the revised points system and the choice of game modes.
I've been waiting on bug reports but the only ones I have received so far are from players who haven't read the release notes and wondered why their old save game wouldn't work so I think we are pretty stable.
I mentioned that we may have been able to squeeze 2 more scenes into the 2303 release but unfortunately they weren't quite ready. Not to worry though as that just means they are almost ready to be included in the next release.
Unfortunately I have to head off to work away for 2 weeks from 5th April (my real job that pays the bills) so this will be my last dev diary until I return. As son as I get back however I'll be working extra hard to push out some extra content for you guys. The next scheduled release is Mid-June with VIP DLC holders and high level Patreon subscribers getting access 2 weeks early. We will keep you updated throughout so you know how many scenes to expect and what sort of playtime will be added.
As always, thank you all for your positivity and support throughout this project. See you all again soon!
