It finally happened. We entered the active coding phase of the first part of the second episodes release version. Weve been waiting for our coder for a long time but on the other hand, we used that time to add more content. As to why were going to release the update in two stages Ive already explained before. I will just quickly remind you: 1) This will allow us to catch more bugs thanks to our community 2) The castle part isnt finished yet. Even though there isnt that much text, the investigation part underwent huge revamp. Our coder couldnt start working due to a number of reasons but now hes working and were progressing rather quickly. Now we run into a lot of small things that need editing, but thats totally normal. Now when I carefully look through the updates documentation, I realize that some of the things couldve been simplified, others improved. Overall, its hard to keep the games picture inside your head even if you write it all down. Even now I cant see the full picture in my mind regarding how exactly the game will look. Im fairly sure therell be some mistakes, its just impossible to avoid them. As for how soon were going to release it on Steam, its hard to say. A lot of different factors play a role in this question. A few different people do their part of the job and most of the times, theyre irreplaceable in their area. The proofreading made by the main scriptwriter is an essential thing to keep the whole games writing in the same style, while I need to prepare all the renders and documentation and of course, if our coders busy, no one else can do his job. Weve done a lot of new events. I even think theres a bit too many of them given therell be only three playable days. On the other hand, having many events is never a bad thing. Were too far away from calling ourselves professional game developers. Talking about what content you may expect to see, were mainly focused on the games beginning part. Most of the new events will happen prior to the castle. The castles part has been improved too and the investigation arc was partly edited. The part of the game before castle will have around 40k of new words, which isnt that bad if you ask me. The castle part which is mostly finished will add around 13k of words more. Once were done with the castle part, we can finally release the update on STEAM. I repeat, we arent going to release intermediate releases on STEAM, only finished and tested game will be published on STEAM. Even though a lot of people ask me to do otherwise, I wont do the same mistake twice You can thank all those reviewers who said: I dont recommend the game before full version is out Price question. Ive read countless comments saying that we sell our games for way too cheap, and it may scare away possible customers. If the game is cheaper than other similar games, it may indicate that its of poor quality. We arent planning to raise prices for already released games, however we will increase the price for the finished version of VC2. Theres definitely a lot more content in that game, the jobs difficulty increased, and no ones canceled the inflation. Bring me back to my 2007 So yeah, Id like to know what price you would consider to be acceptable, given everything stated above. The recent poll. There wasnt any poll on the Steam. You cant make one, only create a corresponding thread. However, we did hold a poll on our Patreon and it showed me what Id already known. A little story behind this poll. I was once talking to our good friend. So, we were talking and I said: Look, Im always angry, I tell our haters and those who whine to get lost, I dont really do any AD. The games completely not trendy and people still buy it. To that he said: Its because you have good graphics. I answered with: Itd be nice to know that Im the only one in our team who keeps our boat afloat but I think that the main story is as important in our game. Therefore, we decided to hold a poll, the results of which you can see right now.

Our second scriptwriter who happens to be a girl wanted to see QTE and even though we dont really have any feminism ideas in our country, a girls wish is something we cant deny. If she wants QTE, shell have QTE. Have you watched Shrek? Remember the cats eyes? How can you deny a person with similar eyes? Well, I cant. I bet haters started writing hateful comments after the last paragraph, so Ill talk with those whore still reading this. Gameplay-wise the games still weak. During one of the last conversation with our writers I said the following thing: We arent making an erotic game in its usual form (and we dont want to) and yet we cant call our game a game. As a result, our game doesnt really do it for those who like erotic game and neither does it for those who love common games. So far, we cant seem to fix it. Were lacking something and I cant really tell what. Weve got millions of ideas, yet we lack time and human power to bring them to life. Were trying, were experimenting, maybe one day well feel what we should strive towards. Thats it for now. The release will be here soon, that is if consider from developers perspective. However, the times flying for us, you dont even notice how quickly you get old. From the players perspective, I dont know. Just keep waiting, we arent running anywhere from you. We still need your money Bye everyone.
