What happened?
Hello,
It's been a while since my last post (23 months and 4 days, but who's counting)!
A quick explainer for anyone wondering: the full-time job that I mentioned here fell through on very short notice, and I was left scrambling.
The developer I mentioned in that same post was understandably unable to continue, as I suddenly did not have the income to pay them.
So where have I been?
Well, thankfully I was able to land a """short-term""" contract that ended up lasting for 16 months, which kept me afloat.
However, that contract has come to an end, and I am once again on the job hunt.
So why is the game getting an update now?
Honestly, I'm just updating my portfolio haha. The update pushed today contains all the work on V2 ("the redesign" / "the visual novel update"). It (should) be completely playable, however, about a third of the way through you'll notice a lot of "placeholder" images, this is where development stopped back in 2023. That aside, the game works just fine (no cloud-saving though, or actually any kind of saving, sorry!).
Will the art ever be finished? / What about Chapter 2? / Something something more work on the game?
I'd love to update the game when I get some time, but right now my focus is on getting a new job sorted (hopefully something more permanent this time). Till then, I can make no promises, sorry!

Hopefully that explains a few things, thank you for reading and playing!
Thanks,
Chris

I can wait for 5 years if this game is not abandoned. It's a good game.
