Hey everyone!Since this is another important dev update, all patrons get to enjoy this wallpaper :)I was hoping to do a video going in detail on our future plans today, but unfortunately I may have tonsillitis or something similar as my throat is in a lot of pain and I can barely talk, so that video will have to wait till I'm better.To give you a rough idea:- We are currently going thoroughly through all feedback we got for this act: Patreon surveys, Patreon comments, discord messages, steam reviews and the recent survey I posted on steam.- Meanwhile we're also working hard on save transfers, they are currently coded and in beta testing, once we've ironed out all bugs, we'll release them in a patch to Patreon and Steam, hopefully sometime next week- We plan on using most of May to work on an improved version of CK2 Act I based on our insights from the feedback. One of the biggest issues aside from the lack of save transfers and bugs (which will be ironed out by next week) was the lack of story cohesion and a proper ending.- CK2 Act I wasn't planned out far enough and a lot of stuff was done ad-hoc to save time in the moment, in hindsight, that was a mistake.  For the improved version we plan to release on Patreon & Steam by the end of May / early June, our goal is to make the changes impactful enough to make it worth replaying the entire act and make you feel a significant improvement in cohesion, story flow, choice impact and the relationships.- Once that's done, we'll start working on CK2 Act II, but this time we'll plan it out properly, with all of the things we've learned. (And trust me, that's a ton of stuff)The whole team is very optimistic, yes we've made mistakes, but it's a fantastic opportunity and all of your guys' support on the exclusive render poll was overwhelming. Honestly sometimes it just makes me tear up how amazingly supportive our community is. I could not wish for a better fanbase.Please do keep holding us to a high standard, we're not flawless, but we really want to deliver the best game possible, even if that means overcoming some obstacles.Thank you for all the love, support and helpful feedback & enjoy the wallpaper!- Steve

Thank you for always being open and direct with us Steve. It's always appreciated when game devs are transparent about issues beyond the scenes.

Got a feeling Act 2 will be phenomenal with all the improvements the team will implement this May. Keep up the good attitude!

You keep plugging away, Steve. Before you know it, the difficulties you're fixing now will be a distant memory. Unfortunately, as in life, that means new difficulties...lol. You know the saying right? Shit happens and sooner or later, more shit happens. Get better soon. Don't let the naysayers gt you down.

I actually enjoyed ck2 act 1 but did have some things I would have liked to have seen more of. More progression with Samantha and Nora, especially after finding Nora and choosing to be in a relationship wither her or trying things with Samantha if you accepted her offer to be her first. Another thing I would have liked to have seen is the plastic baby parenting exercise expanded more than just 3 days(which I understand would be difficult to do) or at least have the option to choose another girl other than Chloe or Nora. I only remember seeing Lindsey but if I remember correctly, both Lauren and Aubrey are available as a girlfriend in regards to relationship status. The biggest let down for me personally was the lack of progression with Norah specifically. After all the support the MC gave her throughout the game thus far, there was no real progression or impact if you chose to be with her. Anyways, just my two cents for what it's worth, I think you've done a phenomenal job thus far and I count you right up there with the likes of DPC and Being a Dik. CK us one of my favorite vn's and I can't wait to see what happens next!

I would argue that there is some progression with Nora, but it's a bit of a dynamic duo, if you choose her for parenting for example, even if you are together or not it's pretty much the same, it changes up during the massage part, you see her so relaxed with making out with the other girls (when you are not doing the massage), no more amnesty against Chloe (it might have been the drinks, but still). Even if you are together with Chloe and she announces that you are her boyfriend, you can see that Nora, doesn't mind but also has a mischievous smile to her, while Aubrey (if together) will seem pretty much bothered. I think that we kinda see girls for what they are (what we are told initially, e.g Chloe) and the opposite of what they want to seem (e.g Nora). Nora has gotten a degree of what might be a bit more materialistic and she now goes on to enjoy life. (I'm still curious what she said about Chris's dad) In regards to Samantha, she seems to become a wreak anyway you go with her, be it drugs or no drugs, who knows what might happen, but there is a build-up only smaller.
