When to expect the release of v0.8? Frequency of future releases. (Patreon)

Hi, dear supporters of Laura!

I have received questions about the release day recently. I had written before that I planned early access for 10.09.2021. However, some things have changed so, here is the most up-to-date info for you.

Apart from the game and my main job, I do for a living, I do one more important thing in my life. Here is not the right place to discuss it, I believe. But all I can say is that some periods mostly on weekends, I have to be away from a PC, phone, electricity, internet or any other goods of civilization. Usually, those periods are known upfront. I take this into account when talking about the release dates. Unfortunately, because of the geopolitical situation, this has changed a bit. I must be away more often also during the working days. The last couple of weeks had been extra busy because of this. My apologies to supporters I did not answer during the weekend as I was away again. Usually, I try to catch my game schedule during the holidays when I have them. But I will not have any free days until the end of September. There is nothing I can do now to make early access happen on 10.09.2021.

The new dates. They are rock hard unless a force majeure situation happens:

1. early access = 13th or 14th of September

2. Official release day one week later.

Now about the frequency of future updates. 

During these unstable times, smaller time chunks are much more manageable. So releases will be more frequent but will contain one in-game day with five events to CG gallery. I need about five weeks to render one day. One week I need as a reserve if I have to be away unexpectedly. For dialogues, I will need 1-2 days. For coding 1-2 days as well. So the time between the updates will be 6-7 weeks.

That is it for today. Now back to rendering!

Huge thanks for your support!

Regards,

Nemiegs.
