The short epilogue is in. It is mostly just text and tiny sprites.
Now the game is content complete. All that are left now are polishing, sound effects, and the title screen.
If you aren't interested in any of that, you can safely cancel your pledge now.
Thanks for all the support.
--------------------
I wrote long ago, that this game is an experiment on personal game development methodology. I don't believe most of you were here when I wrote it.
I suffer from motivation problems usually towards the middle or back half of the game development, that often leads to unfinished projects.
So I thought I could counter that, by saving the "fun" part of game dev till later. That means not figuring out the details until I start working on them.
Thinking of what it could be is fun, working on it, less so.
Now that I am almost finished with the project, I can safely say that there is at least one very big downside to that methodology.
The over all game cohesion suffered for it.
Tones or themes I started at the beginning got lost because I forgot them or that it turns out it wasn't going to work out. New ideas I want to use but can't because of what I already completed. Or the opposite, where I cramp stuff in regardless, just because I really wanted to.
The above problems could happen regardless of methodology, but the methods I chosen greatly exacerbate those problems.
Take the story for example. What is it about?
As the person who wrote it, I struggle to describe it in a way that make sense. A story where you are favored by turbo sluts and made some friends?
How would you describe this story? Like if you have to write the synopsis for it. I am genuinely curious about this. If you are willing to share your thoughts, please leave a comment or dm me.
--------------------
The release version of the game will probably be completed around March. After the one month early access period finishes for that release, I'll begin the "soft shut down" outlined here.
Thanks again for being here now that we are near the end, I appreciate it.
