Hello, folks! In case you didn’t see the post over on my Patreon, I thought I should update those interested on the situation. Usually I try to maintain a pretty regular cycle with MVOL’s development, in which I release the new public version of the game on the first weekend of the release month (would’ve been next weekend), the advance version a week before that, and the pre-release Monthly Mini-Update a week before that.<\/p>\n
But working on v0.42 has been a bigger challenge than usual, largely because this is, as I’ve mentioned, going to feature the Final Endings. As the final culmination of the story, I want to make sure I accomplish a lot of things with these endings, and out of an entire game that I’ve taken very seriously as a personal project, this is the part that I most want to make sure I do “right.” So it’s already turned out pretty big, and I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself to make it as good as I can.<\/p>\n
But this has had some repercussions. I ended up burning myself out some, I’ve started getting headaches trying to focus too much, and I’ve eventually had to accept that, first, I won’t be able to complete all possible routes<\/strong> for this coming release, and second, I won’t be able to get it done in quite the normal amount of time.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is disappointing to me, but in this context, I think it’s an acceptable compromise for the sake of getting this section “right,” or as close as I can. I did finally finish one full route and post the MMU to my Patreon yesterday. This means that the release schedule will be delayed by one week<\/strong> while I get all the other bits and pieces put together. Assuming no further problems, I’m expecting to release v0.42 to the public somewhere around the 14th.<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m sorry to prolong your wait, I’m sure some among you have been excited to see how this story concludes. I hope that in the end, you’ll agree it was worth it. I didn’t make this post to ask for sympathy or forgiveness, though: I just wanted to make sure you guys know what’s going on, and why. Thank you for your patience, and thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, folks!
