That week started a bit rough. I've been pretty sick for a few days. Which didn't help getting things done.

V0.6.3

It will be available tomorrow for the Gunners tiers on Patreon and Subscribe Star. Next weekend on Itch.

I'm going to wait one more week before releasing a patched version (or more likely a patch). So far only a few minor stuff surfaced. Which is totally fine by me.

I tried to compile an Android build... And I failed. At that point, I can only hope for a miracle. I'm gonna ask a few people for advice this week but I'm very pessimistic.

I've been told you can play the game through "JoiPlay". I don't know more.

v0.6.4

With v0.6.3 out, It's time to talk about the future and more specifically, the next release. V0.6.4 will be a mix of reworked and new content with a major focus on making the game Steam-compliant.

Let's start with the rework.

Day Two, Scene 1.

The first scene of the second chapter needs a complete rework for several reasons I've already explained, in particular in one of my Dev Talks. This scene is very important in the game and is a complete failure. I know I can't make it "perfect" but I'm sure I can make it "way better"

Day Two, Scene 10.

Aka, the "Eve is watching a movie at night in the living room" scene. To make the game steam compliant, all real movie images have to disappear from the game. That scene contains several of them. It also contains some rather bad content I want to change.

As always the idea of the rework is not to change things but to make them better. At the moment, these two scenes represent about 6000 words and 75 renders. I don't expect the word count to change much but I do want to do more images. Probably something like 150 / 175 images.

We'll see.

The Music.

This is a task I've postponed time and time again for multiple reasons. I did find an artist willing to let me use his tracks in the game. However... It's not enough. So far I've selected about half a dozen tracks and I think I need about a dozen more. So... I need to find more artists willing to work with me.

In v0.6.4, I'll start populating the game with the tracks I already have. it may end in a weird mix of music and silence if I don't have enough tracks but at least it will be something. it will also allow me to get some feedback on the music choice... which may be important.

The new content.

I don't actually know how much content we are talking about. I have two scenes, or rather two sets of scenes, in mind. But they could represent anywhere from 10 to 20k words of content. My initial plan for these two segments might be slightly too ambitious and I'm not sure what I'll do. I want to release v0.6.4 at the end of fall if possible and that's clearly incompatible with the idea of 20k words of new content and the 650 renders that should illustrate them. So we'll see. Maybe I'll cut some content out, or split it further. We'll talk about that again when I'll be done with reworking stuff.

Thank you for your support!
