Hello everyone! I hope you've been eagerly anticipating the next update, and this time, it's the game's release. I'm excited to announce that the main scenes of the game are completed, and we are currently assembling all the renders and mechanics into one cohesive piece. The final update will include around 900 new renders, about 30 animations, Steam achievements, a point-and-click mini-game for collecting secret renders and animations in 8K quality, as well as an improved English translation. By the way, the current seasonal discount is greater than what will be offered at the release, if there is any discount at all. I'm not sure if there's an opportunity for that since I used the launch discount during early access. So it makes sense to buy the game now if you've been waiting for a convenient moment; it will likely be more expensive at release. When's the release? Soon! The release date is January 15th. I'm leaving a small chance for a delay, but I hope everything will be in order, and I'll finish the game on time.
It's likely that once you finish the game, you'll have questions like, "Is there going to be a sequel?" to explore more about where the story left off. The answer is: possibly yes, but we'll see based on the game's final sales and audience requests. I might release a couple of free or very cheap DLCs.
In the meantime, keep smiling and working, keep smiling and working.
