First things first:

A big Thank you to everyone who supported and still supports me here on Steam and everywhere else!

Also thanks to everyone for taking part in the community and for all the positive feedback so far! The release went quite smooth, no big surprises here, but a few people seem to have a problem with the animations not running smoothly, this seems to be a renpy issue (the engine I'm using) and will be fixed with the next release. If you don't want to work that long, there is a workaround that seems to work for most players: Open the game, hit Shift + G, in the new window turn off "Power Saving" and turn on "Force ANGLE2 Renderer", disable Tearing if it's enabled, that's it. As I said, this works for most people, but some had to switch to another renderer and for some people nothing worked at all, they'll sadly have to wait for the update :( I've read a few comments from people being concerned about Ellie's look, so first thing I'd like to mention is that she's definitley 18 and also meant to look like that (while also meant to look extremely cute), if you think she looks too young then I'd suggest to go out and see a few 18 y.o. girls, and I don't mean these girls with 20tons paint on their faces, you might notice that some look younger than others, while some also look older, my niece for example is 22 and looks younger than Ellie. Then there are some people complaining about the game being too short... I mean... I don't know, did you see the "Early Access" tag? Also seeing some barely even reached 2 hours play time, did you try other routes? I know that not every route is for everyone, so no offense, but if you don't follow Kat's and/or Jada's route for example, then you miss a lot content. Regarding the update I can't give a date yet, I want to have a specific amount of content ready before I release it, I'm also awaiting some new hardware that should speed things up, but it also makes it harder to predict any date. I'm hoping to be able to release the update within the next two months. On the technical side there's a lot of the stuff meant for the update already exclusively in the steam version, but there will some more coming. One example is changeable in-game music. A russian and a portuguese fan-translation are on the way as well. Of course there will be new content, the story will progress, we will finally be able to date Hanna, get closer to Rachel, and there might also be a big surprise... :P Well, that's it for now, thanks for your attention. Don't forget that you can join my discord if you want to get latest news, teasers and update status of Bad Memories, or if you just want to take part in the community. There's also some extra stuff for patrons/subscriber ;) Have a good one! ~rec
