Release XXXVII // Chapters 91 & 92




Release XXXVII is here!



Release XXXVII contains two chapters, two music tracks, two bios & one CG.

Well, they aren't as comprehensive as I'd hoped but I was able to get the Release out... two days late. Oof.

The main issue was not getting around to writing until today. I have to make more of an effort to get that done earlier in the week, preferably tomorrow. There was definitely enough time to get these two short chapters done in five days, it was just my reluctance to write that was the problem...

In other news, I'm starting to create the Steam store page for the game. I am now aiming for the Steam release to be at the beginning of June. I'll likely put up the "Coming Soon" page as soon as I get together a new trailer, which should be towards the end of April when I've revised Chapter 2 and a bunch of other stuff so that the trailer can reflect the final game.

The reason it's June and not May is that I want to make sure there's time for me to fix any glaring errors, get some marketing material together, and for Steam to approve the application.

Until next time,

— LockedOn.

Roel, nooooooooo - never giiiive up -

First thing's first, you're doing a stellar job of making this case stand out. The actual interviews with actual people make it feel higher-stakes, y'know? Catscratcher being able to get his two cents in, both as a passive observer and as himself adds a lot of tension, too.

Porroby is pretty interesting, too; both because I can't get a read on how much he knows, and how much is on his mind, and because he adds a whole 'nother layer to the case.

This one is definitely a stumper, though I feel like the 'excess' dummies aren't just for show...

Also. Cutting your arm? While slicing fudge? Hmn...

In other news, rushed or no, the writing felt especially solid this chapter. The tension and emphasis on how serious things were really clicked - not that I didn't chuckle at Wisht and Porroby interacting.

Both tracks were great, and I don't think I can just choose one this time around.

On to steam, which I need to get on at some point, June sounds like a healthy goal; hopefully by then, it'll be possible for me to do more than just cheerlead, but so it goes.

... I actually checked the interviews, too, just on the off-hand that Porroby's rejected interview was present. I'm worried I'm gonna be not too far behind Roel, this round... Or wait, maybe incredibly far behind..?

Since I didn't respond to it directly last time, by the way, thanks for dropping that supplementary material re: Greg. Did he end up Orphaned, I wonder? Wait, I'm probably focusing on the wrong things again?! Aha, that's probably my method, then!

Thanks! I'm glad the tone is working — wouldn't want super goofy antics during the climactic final Stage (which is one of the reasons why Roel is better fit than, say, 795).

It really is - I'll probably have more to say on that later, when I get around to reviewing Methods as a whole, but I feel like you've handled that exceptionally well. :)
