v0.05 Progress - "RELEASED" (Patreon)

 UPDATE #9: It's out! 

UPDATE #8: I'm happy enough with this to release it for now. I'm exporting and uploading the files & writing up the release post. Stay tuned. And thanks for your patience.

UPDATE #7: I really should just shut up shouldn't I... Going to implement the magnum scene images now, do a playtest and then upload.  I'll definitely be releasing a v0.05a to cover the non-essentials that are still missing later. But I want to get all the content out to you guys asap.

UPDATE #6:  There was a storm that kept cutting my power, (because of course there was) so I wasn't able to get much done while waiting for it to pass. I posted about it more on discord, Sorry, to say it's still about 3 hours from now. 

UPDATE #5:  Everything quest/gameplay related is in. I'm currently just plugging in all of the images and dialogue and sounds for the Jeb and Magnum scenes. Then I'll add some extras to the Debra Dialogue and run a quick spell check and playtest. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out compared to the alpha. At least all of the new content it is in. That being said, I will probably release a v0.05a update tomorrow or something to fix some additional, minor things that I'm just not going to have time for today. 

UPDATE #4:  Alright, I'm up and back to work from where I left off, thanks for your patience.

UPDATE #3: Hey guys, things are going well, but the ETA is still 12 hours from now as I forgot to factor in sleep. Well, tbh I thought I could power through like an idiot, but I've been up for about 24 hours now and it's just not going to turn out very good if I stay awake like this. So I'm pushing back the eta by 5 hours so I can get some decent enough sleep so I can work on this when I wake up. I may still need to release a polish patch later on in the day, like a v0.05a or something as well to fix minor things (like credits) that take about an hour to add but are not so important. But I'm not sure about that right now, all I can think about right now is sleep... Sorry about that. 

UPDATE #2: Things are still on track as of right now...

UPDATE #1: Things are on going smoothly so far. If I manage to finish it earlier than predicted I will post it, but that's unlikely knowing me. I will update the ETA in the post's title as I get closer.

ORIGINAL POST:

Hey guys, sorry for the silence but I wanted to be pretty damn sure about my release before I gave an eta. Over the past 12 days I've only gotten about 4-5 days worth of work done so the wait's been shittier than expected and I'm sorry about that. 

I too am ready to move on at this point. I will 100% start working on v0.06 on the 15th so I will be done with v0.05 no matter what by then. This is different from 2 weeks ago when I was releasing the alpha. As of the typing of this post, all of the remaining renders are done, and over half are edited. I will finish those up and implement the scenes today and polish the game tomorrow before release. I would say 24 hours, but I'm saying 48 just to be safe and to make sure I don't miss it yet again. 

I'm sure I'll still have to push one or two very minor things back till a future version, but I just can't sit on this version any longer or it will cut too deeply into v0.06's dev time. I'll update this post as I get closer to the full release.

Thanks for your extreme patience and support. You'll be getting bombarded with regular polls and posts again soon come the 15th. Plus I've found someone who can help out a bit with v0.06 to help avoid these issues in the future.
