Development Update - 9th of November
🕑 Added 2024-11-09 14:00:13 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
It's been another busy week with good progress. I'm sharing this post publicly to keep everyone updated!
What's left?
We're currently lighting the final still image scene, which we'll then render out. We will likely have all of the still images finalised in the next few days.
The main animations for the final update are all done now, except for one ending animation and the NSFW ones. Those will be the main focus over the next week. We'll also need to finalise the sounds on them.
After that, we should be done and ready to release!
Steam
Steam pushed the game back to us, as I foolishly left a reference to a Patreon link in the Steam version (which isn't allowed). This means it goes back into their review queue, which is currently taking them about seven days to check the game.
As long as we don't have any other "failures," we should be good to launch on Steam on November 19th, with the Patreon version coming a few days earlier.
We initially wanted the first Steam release to add a couple of side paths, but given the time it's taken us to prepare the final main story update, we've opted to launch with just the main story and then add the side paths as free updates on Steam after the release.
Patreon will work the same, likely with the updates coming earlier than on Steam over the next couple of months.
If you've not already, please consider adding the game to your wishlist. It helps a lot!
Optimizations
With this final main story update for High Lathión, we'll also include a range of other optimizations, including user interface enhancements and full controller support. We want to make the game as accessible as possible.
Release
That's all for this week. It's been a busy one, and we'll be working hard right up until the release.
We likely won't announce the Patreon release in advance because we'll release it as soon as it's ready.
It will be available to all qualifying tiers on the same day to ensure nobody on Patreon gets the game after the Steam release.
Getting it out this upcoming week would be great, but it might be wishful thinking.
Right now, I don't expect it to be earlier than the 17th or 18th, but we shall see!
Oh, and we hope you like the animation preview at the top of this post. This will be available on one of the paths you can take towards the end of High Lathión's story :)
Have a great weekend, and thanks for your support!
