Update on Adastra
Added 2019-06-28 14:43:42 +0000 UTC
I've got some unfortunate news, but before that, please enjoy this beautiful art by Haps. It's a background he did for the upcoming update.
So I'm going to be honest here and say that this update is going to need some rewriting. After editing and playing through it all night, I've decided that a few scenes aren't clicking like I'd like them to. After the last update, I'd like to get this right the first time. Because of this, I'm going to need to push the release to the 30th-1st for patrons. Later, I'll release it to the public on the second weekend of July. This actually works out rather well since I want to release something special on the third weekend.
Anyway, I really do apologize to everyone that's been waiting patiently for this. I'm doing my best to make it worth that wait. What I can promise is that a lot of important stuff is going to happen in this next build! Thank you so much for your patience and support.

Excited to see what you have made! All this hard work created great VN's and I am glad I found the Echo Project :D. Keep up the good work!!

I don't know, I suppose so, not so much fun messing with people but the rest of Dean is enough...I just can't explain it, I like who I like. I'm stern to people (not a people person) I'm passive on my own so if the situation can sway me then it meant something to me

Yeah π he was the best π₯Ί As for the game no VN unfortunately. His playful behavior just really changed things up after I played Tyson's route, the flashback of asking him out was a real spinner. But I knew he was my favorite when π¨ when I saw him dead π± it was truly a nightmare π I couldn't stop crying and I even unplugged my CPU

Goro is in Ocean and Paws and Steel. Yeah me too, so funny. Typhon is from a mobile game (Tokyo Afterschool Summoners). Yeah it's just something I can't explain, I did love Tora at first sight and Tyson, first routes I played and still loved them both just Dean really hit that spot

Well I never said that, I play many, I'm just new to Patreon and most of their VN. I did support Nekojishi a lot for one, I've also seen the duo performance of Goro, I'm following some of those others as well. I've always had a thing for canine/wolves, tigers, and dragons...there's also a shark in there...love ya Typhon! As for the teasing I'm just normally a Stern type, a loner, so having them balance me out...I just don't know...I have fun with them the most...like I said I connect naturally with certain characters and when I do they're my immediate favorite

It's fine! Writing is really hard. I'm glad you're taking your time to create the best product.

I have no idea what you're talking about I'm not even a people person π π Really, I would've thought Tora made it obvious, it's Dean. To be honest it was Tyson at first but there's just something about the fun loving kind that I like or maybe having them tease me is fun I don't know. I play then I connect and whoever clicks the most with me is my favorite. I just can't explain it much better. Cool, I haven't heard of those projects...gives me something to look at after work

Awwww. That's okay. As a writer, I totally understand what you mean by things 'not clicking' or not feeling exactly how the story SHOULD be told. :) I love your updates, though. So I think it's worth waiting.

Please take your time! We'll all happily wait if it ensures quality! Keep up the good work :D

Take your time! I don't have any doubt that it will be worth the extra wait.

The poster boy for being late is still the late great Douglas Adams and you're nowhere near his delays Howly xD (Yes, two of my favourite writers in one sentence.) If it's not working for you then it needs to be worked on until it is. Just take breaks and then look over it again with fresh eyes, then change something for the public update after you get a great idea two days after releasing it. Or is that just me?

You sure know how to ensure people...
It's worth waiting for Adastra updates.
I've seen your comment under the last Password update. What is your favourite character? Mine has to be Tyson, because he is not the kind of guy he pretends to be and not a bad boy. I was frightened when I first couldn't figure out how to bring him through alive. Now I just want to more.
I also played TBD - The Butterfly Dream (though only one route is finished I think) and it isn't bad either. There isn't much of a story yet, but it is well enough written. Although the English is pretty bad and the staff apologized for it.
I played through Repeat too.

"What I can promise is that a lot of important stuff is going to happen in this next build!" So is this the build where we find out the Wolves and Cat's parents are actually space Dragons and they descend on to Adastra to visit the main character?

You're doing fine, man, sure I was hoping to reward myself after all these work hours (192 straight) but come on its not much of a reward for me if I know it causes you to be uncertain. Although I'm not a fan of the last change, it was still nice, and it made you more comfortable which is what matters...it's your reward if we enjoy it, in the end the goal is to put a smile on as many faces as possible...or fill it with at least a couple of laughs. May not have liked it but what's important now is that such a situation doesn't repeat, be proud of the work you do and stand by it comfortably and confidently, that's all I want π

The writing for Adastra is consistently excellent and that's down to your commitment and high standards. If you don't feel it's clicking, you're almost certainly right. Take all the time you need to get it there and don't put yourself under pressure! π
