Hello everyone! Just a few days left until the release of Episode 4.0, so its time to share the changelog heres whats new and what you can expect. Its been 2 months since our last update, and during that time, weve created:

• Nearly 2,500 new renders
• A ton of new animations

Not to brag, but getting this much done in just over two months (since Episode 3.2 update on October 7th) is a fantastic achievement in my opinion. This was only possible thanks to your support, which allowed me to take unpaid leave from my firefighting job. Starting in January, things will go back to normal, but Ill keep working hard to bring you as much content as possible, as quickly as I can. Before we move on, I want to address one thing. Someone suggested that going back to work will slow down the games development, making it impossible to deliver the full game by 2026. Heres the truth: my unpaid leave was an extra boost that sped up development. This wasnt part of the original plan because I didnt expect such incredible financial support. So, while January will mean a return to the regular pace, were still on track were not slowing down.
Now, about the update itself:

• It includes more animations than the last few updates combined, and theyre quite complex. These arent 1-second loops every animation is made of 200-300 frames, lasting 6-10 seconds, with sounds recorded by real people.
• This update is over twice the size of the previous one. However, its not twice as long its more content-rich, giving you more choices and options. It will also tie together many of your earlier decisions.

What else is new?

• New achievements
• Lots of custom wallpapers created for our supporters

Weve also added and improved tons of smaller things that I might have forgotten to mention (probably because they werent as big). If I remember anything, Ill let you know or maybe Ill keep it as a surprise. Weve translated the game into Polish, which will be available later on (around December 23-24), because we have to polish (hehe) the language a little. Along the new language we will release another cool thing: Steam trading cards, including badges, backgrounds, and emoticons for your profiles. These will launch alongside the Polish translation fingers crossed we can get it done on time!


For now, Im back to fixing the last bugs and making sure the update is ready for you. If you still havent left a review on Steam, do it now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2649970/Steps_of_Debauchery/
