Progress:

Writing - 4000~ words

So far I've written another 2000 words.

The progress is a little bit slower than I anticipated but this is due to some real life events getting in my way. I should be able to write more now as the problem is resolved.

News:

The game has been submitted to Steam and is now being reviewed. My planned released date is 08/08/2024, if everything goes according to plan.

Future Plan:

Let's talk about the steam release first. I don't plan to release versions after versions on steam. The steam release will be only be a 0.1. And later, once I've accumulated enough chapters, I'll release it as a season, as a DLC, and at a price.

I want this first chapter to be a marketing tool for my brand. My main goal is to enlarge my community and get people to know me as a developer.

So, what am I going to do with the chapters? I'll say what I have on my mind, but this is not my final decision.

I want my game to be more "open access", but at the same time, I want to make money too. But I'll be honest. As of now, my main goal is not to make money. My primary goal is to spread the name "Creator Tom", and to actually have people play my game. Here's how I think I should do it:

For a new chapter, patrons will have early access. I'm still not sure how early this would be but I'm not in a rush to decide. Then, the chapters will eventually be released to the public, free of cost. So, yes. Technically, this game will be free of charge.

I don't want to make this game exclusive to paid members, but at the same time, I want my paid members to get benefits that is worth their money.

Also, feel free to suggest more benefits that you think I should add for my patrons!
