Like I told supporters on Friday, I'm estimating the meat of the update is roughly halfway done at this point. The major story events are done, which just leaves all the minor and optional events and the ending. Unlike what I told supporters, that's about as much as I'm telling you, because I don't want to say anything more until we actually hit early access release day. If you want my secrets anyway, go to Patreon or Subscribestar and they'll be all yours.
If you're content to read the rest of this blog post and wait, maybe I could tempt you with a discount? The Valentine's Adult Gaming bundle has a whole boatload of discounts going now that the final stretch goal has been reached, which includes not only discounts on early access for permanent early access through itch, but 30% off my Gratitude and Supporter tiers on Patreon.
My shilling out of the way, I would like to say that my progress on v0.20 means I can actually give you a release date, but I kinda can't. I'm still hopeful I'll be able to get the release done and published during February, but there's a non-zero chance that won't happen, so I'm not going to commit to any numbers just yet. I've got everything planned out pretty specifically except how the update ends. There are a few things I want to do, a few things I could do, and a few things I'm unsure of, and I won't be able to dedicate much brain power to figuring out how I want to handle it until everything else is finished and it's time to actually handle it.
Everything else is going pretty smoothly, though. I'm very happy with how the update plays from a gameplay perspective. Even if there's a little jank to it, it was really easy for me to get lost in just playing the game when I was playtesting things. I've also already gone through and fixed a slew of outstanding bugs and found a few other things to update, which has made this update's change log the largest it's been in a while. Now I just have to find a groove to settle into and get a bunch of work done, which will hopefully lead to the next test build including basically everything except the conclusion, and then I can talk about a release date.
