Beta 2.0 release and News!

Hello everyone,

Apologies for the recent radio silence. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of artwork, programming, discussions with the publisher, and preparing what's coming next.

There's good news, bad news, and, well... news.

Steam post image The road is long... but it leads to many paths...

I'm going to start with the bad news...

The bad news is, we are currently behind schedule on the public release of this update. While we're working tirelessly to push things out, I vastly ovestimated how much we could get done and achieve in the time we have while staying on schedule... That is on me, the full public release will be around mid August, I cannot give an exact date. I'd rather release this update properly than rush it out half finished.

The good news...

is I am not leaving players on a lurch. It isn't fair on you guys to continue waiting for a full release even longer, with nothing to show for it, so... We have updated the beta branch with what we call beta 2.0.

Beta 2.0 contains the full tarbecks part 2 quest including Lady Tarbeck's post romance route. - It is currently missing the other two routes for her character.

It also contains the travel inns, (three of them) which will now be accessible travelling through forest regions, where, three lovely maidens will be waiting to help ease your journeys... for a price.

Other news:

1.) After talks with the publisher, I can confirm in the coming months we will be launching some small content packs, these have been in the pipeline with the developer and were agreed upon many moons ago, but we've just been so busy trying to move the needle forward with the game... I can confirm now though, you should hopefully see them soon, and we hope you guys like and enjoy what we've prepared!

These are not full expansions, but those are coming eventually too.

2.) Yes... After the full public release of this update, the next update will focus on Regina and returning to Novaras, as well as moving the story forward.

3.) We're continuing to expand upon localizations, bug-hunting, and will have more announcements to make soon. In the meanwhile, here's one or two teasers of what's to come shortly...

... But that's not all, not when we also have the pending release of GRIM DAYS, coming soon...
