Devlog 9. Release schedule, localization, and a free playable Episode 1

A major announcement on the release schedule, and a few other things.

The early version of the full demo, covering a big chunk of Episode 1, will be available to content creators on June 4th. The public version goes live on June 14th, one day before Steam Next Fest.

After Steam Next Fest, depending on how the demo lands, the plan is to move into Early Access. What I want from this setup is simple. Episode 1 will be fully playable inside the demo, for free. If you finish it and like it, you can buy into Early Access. If you finish it and do not, no harm done. Hopefully you will like it though.

A quick note on the current build. The version that is on Steam right now is still available. I have added Simplified Chinese localization and a few small fixes. Please keep in mind that the upcoming demo is almost an entirely different game. Nearly everything has changed.

Localization. Following the very positive reception from players in Mainland China, the game will now ship with full localization in three languages: English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Voice acting will be in English and Japanese to start. If the project finds its audience, I would love to extend voice acting to other languages later, but for now this is what I can commit to.

Thank you for following along. I cannot wait for you to see it.

Wishlist and follow if you want to see where all of this goes.
