Greetings, everyone!
I trust you've all been keeping well since our last post.
I just wanted to let you know that I will be releasing Chapter 1 - Episode 3's current content for several reasons.
First, I mentioned this in our previous post: I need more time for Aine's arc.
Second, which really pushed me to do this: I know you told me to take my time due to my health issue, but I can't just swallow the guilt of making you guys wait for a long time. That's not how I work; I don't want to be that way.
The catch is, aside from short main story build-ups, there's nothing but routed Freya content on the entire installment.
That said, there's already a substantial amount of content on the update, ready for you to play:
Lines of codes: 3460
Renders: 610
Animations: 11
Music & SFX: 20
So, here's the plan:
We'll divide the update into two parts to have a part two. Also, I'm extending the content for part two rather than following the remaining 20% as planned. We are featuring not just Aine but some of the girls as well.
Considering that, I'm sure part two will be bigger than part one.
I will take this final opportunity to build our girls' characters before the considerable mood and atmosphere shift in Episode 4 and the opening of Chapter 2.
The public announcement for Beta Release will come shortly after this post.
