Best wishes and a quick TVR update (Patreon)

Let me start off by wishing you all a happy New Year. That's still allowed on the 6th, right? At any rate, I hope you had a good time over the holidays.

As for me, I've been quite busy, wrapping up work on content for The Velan Reach, and doing a lot of preparation for release.

As I've mentioned before, quite a bit work has gone into preparing a first time release, setting up builds, scripting deployments, presentation materials, stores and website, etc., but that is all well underway, with a lot (most) of it prepared and ready to go (but a fair bit still to do, and even worse, some of it waiting on approvals, which is pretty nerve-racking given my past experiences in that regard).

What can you expect next for The Velan Reach if all goes well?

Store pages going up (in coming soon mode initially).

A demo made available to everyone, in which I'll be wheedling all of you to wishlist it and maybe stir the algorithm a bit.

A short round of beta testing for the second part of chapter 1. I'll put the usual participation poll up soon.

Release!

I'm also thinking about offering keys for it to people, but I'm still thinking about the details, as the only way I can do that automated right now is based on tier level, and I'd like to be able to offer them based on lifetime support instead.

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted as stuff happens.
