Hello everyone!

It's officially been 1 year since the Act 1 demo for Connected Fates came out! Gosh do I feel old...

Thank you all for the continued support! To celebrate the occasion, I figured I'd write another progress update today! So, let's not dilly-dally any longer!

Going for a little swim!

Act 3

Almost all resources are currently being put on Act 3. I've split up the act into 5 different sections to ease development and to better distinguish progress. So far, 2 of the 5 sections are fully playable from start to finish with minor issues (playtesters had more fun with section 2 than I anticipated)!

My current goal is to finish up the full game, then polish everything later. Thus, there's still quite a few quality-of-life features and assets that need to be implemented, but I'm getting there!

Release Schedule

Let's talk release dates.

It's still too early to give an exact date, and I'd hate to promise something I end up failing to deliver. So, take the following with a grain of salt.

At the rate progress is going, I'm expecting to have each section finished within 2-3 months. If all goes well, the entire game will be fully playable from start to finish by the end of the year! From there, I'll spend a few months polishing, and getting pre-release material ready. It's still a long way to go, but I'm aiming for the game to release by next year; for my sake more than anything.

Here's hoping that claim will age well...

Steam Release

I'm currently also in the middle of setting up a Steam page for the game! I wanted to have it ready by the release of this progress report, but the process has been slow. Very slow. Nevertheless, keep an eye out! I'll let you all know when it's available for Wishlist! It WILL happen, it's just a matter of time.

Looking over yonder...

That's about it, though. If you couldn't tell by the more zoomed-in screenshots, there's going to be less and less stuff to show in future progress reports due to spoilers, so you'll just have to take my word for it: the game is coming along pretty well! And if any hiccups occur, you'll know in the next post.

Thank you all so much for your patience, and I wish you a good rest of your day, or night.

Stay safe everyone!
