End-of-August Progress Update
We made good progress in terms of voice-over since the last update. For Danya and Juniper we are still missing about 40% each of recorded scripts. All of the recordings have been submitted for Brahve, and we're only missing a few retakes. Juniper's voice actress is still in the process of settling in her new home; we hope to receive all the voice-over we need by the end of the month. Kudos to our audio engineer who keeps chipping away at all the lines we're throwing at him as we receive them and select our takes!
Fable finally inserted the last scene scripts into the game! While this is quite the milestone for us, keep in mind that it's only half of the job, code-wise: we still need to code in the voice acting and sound effects, as well as code other parts such as the music room, re-doing our credit rolls, correct possible bugs, etc...
The latest available beta covers the game up to scene 23, right into the first route of the game! As usual, it is available for Kickstarter backers in the $160 CAD tier and patrons in the $20 tier.

Greeting alien lovers! First off, we have an important announcement: The Symbiant's release date has been pushed to February 2023. This new release date will allow us to really polish the game up while we're both dealing with our day jobs and family lives. Having said that, February would still be 2 months earlier than the hard limit we set to ourselves: April 2023!

The Symbiant is a visual novel about two adult men, both from vastly different worlds, embracing their sexuality and their newfound romance. It is also a tale of interstellar friendship and being gay in space!
In the year 5066, Danya and his alien friend Juniper are manning The Ameretat, a humble spaceship that transports goods across the Milky Way.
After a troubled transport gig that left their beloved ship in need of repair and their bank account empty, the team is offered a generous deal they cannot refuse: transporting a beautiful and mysterious alien who calls himself Brahve.
Sometimes at night, Danya hears strange things from Brahve's room. What could he be hiding in there? And how will it affect the connection that's quickly growing between the two men?
