Release Update

Hi there, again guys!

I just wanted to say thanks again for your patience! I know it's been a bit of a bumpy road over the past couple of months, but I really do appreciate you all sticking with me, and your support.

So I'm once again here with another progress update--you've probably noticed they've increased quite a bit in frequency over the last couple of weeks, since I'm so close to finishing now and want to keep you guys updated with exactly what's going on!

As I speak, I've put in all of the CG graphics now and each h-scene plays out as it should, the game somewhat playable from start to finish now. This build is enough for me to send out for testing in storefronts that will be selling the game, since largely they just want to check that all of the CG content fits within their guidelines and there's nothing extreme. Which will help speed the process of selling it up a little at the very least while I add in all the finishing parts.

What I have left to do now is add in all of the corresponding sprite expressions for each non-h scene, along with all of their associated general voice clips (like laughing or calling Matt's name, etc.) I have to go through nearly 90,000 words to do this, line by line and see where each expression is best suited, along with each voice clip, but I'm at least halfway done with the expressions and hope to finish this last bit of work by the end of the weekend.

Regrettably the final product will be out in the early, early days of October because of this and I wasn't able to hit the late September release as I first thought I could. So for this, I apologise for all of you who were looking forward to a September release with your pledges. I'll understand if any of you are upset by this, and don't want to extend your pledge into the next month and will attempt to ensure that everyone who has pledged at least $10 in their lifetime on here will still receive a copy of the finished product, whether they're still an active patron or not, since without your support this whole thing wouldn't have been possible and want to make sure that everyone can experience the game.

So, hopefully you guys don't take this as terrible news or anything. It's basically finished at this point content-wise it's just the last little touches, and there's no massive delays. Just a few more days! I just wanted to be clear on what was happening before the next month rolled over, so you can decide if you're happy or not to continue pledging based on things.

Once the first chapter is out too I'll be able to relax a bit and not post as many rambling updates, and instead focus on posting a lot more interesting content on development of the second chapter--such as character sneak peeks, voting on scenes, and all that fun stuff!

Thanks again, everyone, I can't wait to show you all the first chapter of Matt's grand adventure~ Even if I'm really nervous about it all!
