Tickle Magnet #11 Roadmap Update
Added 2023-06-04 00:43:49 +0000 UTCSynopsis
Here is the too long, didn't read version.
I pushed back game launch two months to February 2024. I pushed back alpha testing two months to September 2023. I pushed back beta testing one month to November 2023.
Why the delays? Coding the main storyline took a lot longer than I thought, and completely captured my attention with the complexity of what I'm trying to accomplish with the game. Because of that, it knocked back several steps in the roadmap. The creative team is also slightly late on delivering all the story arcs, which will push back some of the dependent stages like voice acting, which comes in dead last in production.

But it's not arbitrary! It's based on.... OK, ya it's pretty arbitrary. Thanks for your support, and look to a presentation on the game soonish, probably in the next couple of weeks.
