Sorry for the delay. Game comes out today no mater what.
🕑 Added 2018-11-02 13:25:07 +0000 UTC Hey guys,I'm just giving a more official announcement to add to what Ryuuzenmaru already said in the announcement below. Yes, it will come out today, for sure. Not an estimate. Not a release date we're "trying to meet". We're almost done.
To explain what happened I'll use a message I've given on Discord to one of our Patrons to explain why the delays.
The biggest reason why these delays happen has been thoroughly discussed internally this month and we have taken measures to make sure it doesn't happen again in the Christmas patch because personally, I don't want to work on Christmas eve, Christmas and New-Year like the last two years.
No one gets as annoyed by these delays as I do. I want to believe this is the last time because of the way this was discussed but we obviously can't promise that. Usually the delays are no longer than 24 hours and haven't been for over a year. We work as hard as we can to meet our estimated dates of release so our followers know when they should expect the patch. Missing the date by less than 24 hours is infinitely better in my eyes than saying "soon" indefinitely.
The reason why this delay was bigger than usual is that some of the mechanics we're introducing this patch and new scripts went haywire when bug testing and it really threw us off.
This was the script we were planning to add this patch but sadly, we just won't be able to fix it in time:

Sex appeal, experience and emotional chemistry would change throughout the story. And it will! We haven't given up on adding the script to the game, we just don't have enough time to troubleshoot it any longer for this patch.
Also, there's the save script stuff but we're more and more convinced that the issue is just on my side and windows 10. Not the game.
Now. These bugs wouldn't be as much of a problem if I didn't take 3 days off like I said I was going to do as we would've detected this much sooner and start fixing it much sooner. The second delay is ENTIRELY my fault as I could've prevented the delay further, but again, come on... I haven't taken a break for 2 years. I took a break for my girlfriend's birthday and halloween. 3 days... is that so bad in the big picture?
Haven't we always ending up delivered as promised? We've been at it for 3 years and we always come through. I know some of you, the large majority of you support us unconditionally and our fan base is strong. We LOVE you guys. But to the people that are new here. Have some faith ;)
OH! And not to feel like we're tricking people into supporting us when they have to pick the months they can afford supporting us. Anyone that was a Patreon last month will get the patch regardless if they stopped supporting us or lowered their tier below 10$! Just send us a message post-release.

2~3 more hours and it's out. Did a few last minute story changes in Melvin's route. Ayame would lose a bet to trigger the scene but now she is the one doing the proposal. We believe it looks A LOT better.

I am one of the unconditional supporters in the background. You guys already are steps ahead of most games, and if it takes longer than so be it. Y'all are like one of the rarer developers, where each update actually matters and has weight, rather than the game of increasing update numbers but only adding one and a half scenes and one new event that translates to roughly 10 minutes of play time at it's worst. So whatever pressure you guys are feeling I'm sure is from the people that argue no matter what and blame the adult gaming industry being money-grubbing the moment a release date is broken or pushed further, which, they'll never be convinced in the amount of effort and time that goes into doing that. (It's a miracle really, which surprises me since you guys make updates monthly where other games take months to have this amount of content). Keep doing what you do with the quality that comes with that, and also as you said, keep your mental health well, alongside maintaining your own life, it surprises me that not a lot of people know that many developers sacrifice a lot to create this content and get angry when real life/breaks gets in the way, which most developers don't have the privelege of maintaining, despite the evidence of constant great updates showing that all of you aren't just twiddling your thumbs. Good luck!
