Regarding Future Release
Hi, everyone! Since I've seen people asking about this in the comment section, I think it's better to answer what's our plan for future releases here.
After discussing with the team, we have come to a decision that we willrelease chapter 3, 4 and 5 at the same time. Therefore, it might take a while before the next build come out. We are currently working with a goal of releasing them around September or October this year.
The reason for this decision is mainly because of the amount of support work that comes with releasing a chapter. Based on chapter 2, we spent quite a lot of time on support after the chapter is released. This include reading and listening to people's feedbacks, bug fixes and adjusting the games.
These tasks, while important, slow us down from working on contents of future chapters. We are afraid that by releasing chapter 3, we might spend too much time on support, pushing the release of chapter 4 and 5 even further. Once again, Dudedle Studio is very small. The main three members right now are Yoshinoya, Kurono and I. Since I'm the only programmer and also the director of the project, spending time on building and uploading patches for the current release means I cannot spend much time on putting the contents of future chapters together.
Still, we also understand that some people might not be able to wait. And thus I'd like to hear your opinion on this. Even though we will officially release the game after all chapters are finished, it's possible for us to upload a playable build after we finish working on each chapter.However, we will not be able to provide as much support as we used to.Bugs and issues can still be reported, but we will not address them and follow up by a patch as quickly as last time.
These release will be for patrons only. The next public release will be after the whole Volga's arc is finished.
Please let us know what you think!
