General Update
🕑 Added 2020-11-13 21:36:20 +0000 UTCHello everyone! We'd like to start this post by apologizing. We should have made this update a lot earlier, but we ended up getting distracted with everything that is going on behind the scenes. Let's get into it.
Double Homework
Firstly, Double Homework Ep 19. We've been saying it will be released in November 2020, and, well, we are already almost at mid November. We are putting a lot of effort into it, and the episode should be ready for release near the end of the month. We wanted to get it done a bit earlier, but we've been facing a few setbacks. The disruption caused by Palmer's passing is still getting sorted out and we want to make sure the last episode meets everyone's expectations.
Double Homework Epilogues
As with DFD, we also plan to have epilogues for DH. You’ll have a peek into the lives of your favorite characters after the events of DH’s main storyline.
We will release the four classmates' epilogues and the epilogue for Johanna and Tamara separately. Each epilogue follows a specific ending to DH, though they aren’t locked and you can choose to play any epilogue you wish. Just bear in mind that it will probably only make sense if you get that particular ending. We will start releasing the first of the epilogues in December (most likely near the end of the month). Expect more info and a preview soon!
The Cyberpunk Game
As you might know, we had originally planned to release two games at the same time: a cyberpunk game and a noir/detective game. That’s now impossible with the loss of Palmer.
Those projects were intended to be darker, more thoughtful, and a break from the normal sorts of games that we make. Given the new circumstances, none of us are in the mood to make something somber, though we’d still like to make them in the future. We want to design the best games possible once we reorganize, something that Palmer would have been proud of.
What's coming next after DH is finished?
Behind the scenes, we have been working on a new game that will run after DH is complete. We want the new title to be dynamic, happy and fun to help us heal and get through this difficult time.
We are designing new mechanics for the game, so it should be less linear than DH/DFD and open up the game in a way that wasn’t possible before. We’ve used HTML5 throughout this studio’s history, and if we move to a downloadable format, we will have a lot of freedom to make new features that currently aren’t possible.
We aren't 100% sure just yet, but our next project might not be a web-based game. We might have to bite the bullet and make a downloadable game if we want to take advantage of all the new ideas we have in mind. We will have to work on platform compatibility, but we believe it'll be worth it if that means we can make a better game.
We are going to make a new post in the near future to talk more about this specific project once we've shaped it better and have some prototype images to show.

For now, here is your first look at Double Homework Episode 19. We're sure this one will get you excited! 😉
Thanks for supporting us and believing in our work.
Stay safe,
The Love-Joint Team.

So right here looks like they get on a bus to go somewhere else 👀

What he said!!

I have two words to say... THANK YOU!!! I don't think there is anyone here who doesn't know what is going on. Healing takes time either afore or behind the scenes. So please use it. Much love to you all. Again thank you! Also, I don't care if DH 100 doesn't come until the next century. In other words, if DH19 doesn't come out till Jan. 1, so be it. Life comes first! You guys deserve to have FUN! Especially what you guys went through. Palmer would have wanted it that way, even though he probably would go bat shit crazy trying to get it done last year. But don't worry, we have your back. LOL! Another thing, on the next game, it should really be something from your heart, not something that is superficial. What you guys decided with Palmer is something with Palmer. But now that he has passed, it should be something you guys come up with that is light, fun, and inventive. Not complicated and burdensome. Something that you all can rap your heads around and enjoy doing it. This is just my bit. You guys, as always, have fun! Much Love.

It is in the to-do list, but I'm struggling to get into it since the focus is on DH and the new game right now.

Yes, we actually had plans to release DH on Steam once it was completed. However, there's a bit of bureaucracy to get sorted out now so that can happen. We'll most likely make a post in the future to explain de details.

Are you still going to try to regain access to or republish the versions of DFD with voice acting? I know it's probably the last thing on your mind or plans but it would be a shame for all the hard work to be lost forever. I hope all is going as well as it can be. <3
Oleg Daev
Still can't believe that this game will be finished without Palmer. Makes one think about life more. Palmer had plans ahead, and then poof... But I'm glad that the story will be finished, it's the right thing to do. I'm also glad that you guys wanna go on and create new games too. Will you try to release them through Steam?

The MC's testicles finally dropped (choking the Dickwad Dennis)! How exciting!
Dandorian
No worries. We all need time to heal. Go at your own pace and do Palmer proud.
Dandorian
I think they are going to do that as an alternate ending
Dark Pink
make the MC fuck Dennis

I just want to thank you guys for being awesome. I love your games and glad you guys decided to stick with it. And I'm in no hurry to get the content because I know it's going to be glorious.

Take your time, and I'm sure whatever you guys come up with will be worth the wait. Also, If that shot is any indication of a Dennis Beatdown, I cannot wait to see it unfold. That schmuck had it coming for multiple chapters now.

Take the time you need. I am really excited to see what comes next
