The End is Nigh (Patreon)

Hey everyone, I just posted this in the Discord, but I also wanted to make sure everyone here saw it:

I'm going to skip tonight's release because I'm fairly certain the NEXT release is going to be the final release of Daughter of Essence that includes new story content for the foreseeable future.

After the story is wrapped up, I'm going to be doing a final sweep for balance, for QoL improvements, and then adding in some new art and scenes.

Then comes the final testing phase for bugs, then the official 1.0 launch! I haven't decided how I'm going to handle the retail releases just yet or how I'm going to monetize them, but I think I'm probably just going to keep it cheaper to get the latest builds through Patreon since they take less of a cut than Steam, for instance. Will depend on Steam's rules, I guess.

I might also have a fully separate build that replaces all the NSFW entirely content to see how people respond to that.

As it is now, I'm just so close to ending the game's story that it feels ridiculous to go through all the steps of uploading it as-is. The next build you see will effectively be the complete game. How absolutely fucking wild is that to think about???

Maybe not as wild for you! But for me, it's absolutely bonkers.
