Update on Beta and Final Release Dates

Added 2023-12-19 12:39:30 +0000 UTC

Hi all! With the Alpha of Episode 2 in full swing and with me getting to grips with deploying hotfixes, there are a few things to note regarding when the Beta and Final versions of the game will be dropping.

With the Alpha being released on the 18th of December, this means the Beta release will be pushed to the 21st of December, and the Final release will be pushed to Christmas Day on the 25th of December.

Small adjustments
The Alpha of Episode 2 has proven that everyone's old saves work as intended when being brought forward from Episode 1, with almost no bugs reported being related to issues regarding saves that are from before Episode 2.

With that said, the content of Beta and Final will be switched around a bit, as I will instead prioritize the replay gallery and push back the questionnaire update to the Final release. Here's how it looks in summary!

Beta
- Releases 21st December to First-rate subscribers and above.
- Includes 2 additional sub-scenes.
- Includes replay gallery, which will have all Episode 2 scenes included to allow you to keep track of what Cara has yet to do around Creekmaw!

Final
- Releases 25th December for everyone.
- Includes 1 additional variation of a main scene.
- Includes questionnaire, allowing you to create fresh saves without needing to play the entirety of the game from Prologue to the end of Episode 1.

EDIT: Forgot to mention how I am extremely thankful for everyone who has helped to test the Alpha and who has provided all of the valuable feedback and inputs to make the Episode even better! Stay tuned for more!
