Development Diary № 38 (Patreon)

Friends!

I'm eager to share the latest news about my project. Version 1.0 of Bright Past is finally ready! I've been working toward this goal for a long time and really wanted to release it simultaneously on all platforms – Steam, Itch, and of course, here.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Steam still isn't accepting my build (though I continue to work on this and haven't lost hope). The situation with Itch turned out to be even more complicated – now games rated 18+ can only be distributed for free there.

In light of this, the release version will be coming out in the next few days on my three main platforms following the familiar approach – as a regular update.

I must admit, the last two months have been challenging for me. I haven't released any new versions, which has resulted in a noticeable outflow of subscribers (which is understandable). I won't hide that I've been feeling depressed because the long-awaited goal turned out to be unattainable in the way I had envisioned it.

However, I'm not giving up! Development of Bright Past continues, and I still have many ideas to implement. I'm actively learning artificial intelligence tools, and in the next version, you'll be able to see several new animations created with their help.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who is staying with me during this difficult time. Your support means incredibly much to me. You truly are the best!

With best wishesKosmo
