Hello! Had a pretty hectic start to the month. The NPCs are complete and fully rigged, but I still have to get their rooms done for the bottom of the barrel area to be fully complete.
This isn't what I mean by bad news though. As the title suggests I have both some good and bad news still. So what do you want first? Bad you say? Alright here goes.
This may be completely new to some but on the steam page for Kobold Garden I had a set date for an early access release during the first quarter of 2023 which would be by the end of this month. In the time I set that date to now, I've had a few small unforseen delays just like the recent bottom of the barrel delay just now. These small delays have added up to Kobold Garden not being ready for that early access release this month.
For this release I would like to have at least 1 garden complete with basic interactive kobolds and at least one minigame. I feel both this garden and minigame can be completed in a month each with the interactive kobolds being fairly easy to complete as I've done so before but lets say it would take a month for that as well. This adds up to kobold garden needing to be delayed by at least three months. I'll have more info on a more solid date for the early access release on steam as I progress in the coming months. And again this may be completely new to some of you but for the few who have been awaiting a Kobold Garden release somewhat soon I apologize.
I do have some good news though! But what I'm about to suggest is so out of left field, I feel it warrants it's own post just to go over. I'll be posting about it in a follow up post shortly after this one so stay tuned!
