Dev Log #3

It's August 4, 2026. So almost exactly 31 days from now.

You'd think picking a date should be simple, right? Open the calendar, close your eyes, and point with your finger...

Unfortunately, reality looks a bit different.

Because:

• Big publishers release games you don't want to step into the path of

• Other departments (for me, that's my freelance collaborators) need to be finished. In my case, that's mainly art and sound.

• Trade shows/events/sales are happening, and you don't want to release into those either.

• Or I have something going on those days myself and can't respond to potential bugs or feedback.

And there's always something.

So if that's the case, and there's no such thing as a perfect date, how do you actually choose?

From the game's side, I made sure as much as possible would be finished. Most importantly, all the major bugs needed to be gone.

I gave my freelancers a deadline one month ahead of mine. Good thing too, since the last art assets are still coming in right now.

And then the Steam calendar was a huge help. With that overview, it suddenly wasn't hard anymore to pick a date.

Let's pray no unforeseen problems show up now.

I'm looking forward to the release and I hope you are too.
