Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that the beta release has finished, and has undergone initial testing. Alorine and Hannah tier has already received it, and it was very well received. Here is the release schedule from here on:

Skylar Tier will get access on Thursday the 23rd.
Player Tier will get access on Sunday the 26th.
Curious tier will get access overnight of Tuesday the 28th.

Public release will happen at some point on the 30th or the 1st. Not sure yet, really depends on remaining feedback, and how much additional polishing I'm able to squeeze in. For example, as I write this, I'm rendering another 1,600 frames of animation for an intro sequence explicitly for Chapter 2 (Primarily eye candy while some information is given). Most importantly, play testing has revealed no real bugs so far, which is always good! Means I get to spend more time making additional stuff, than fixing the existing stuff!

That all being said, I'm sure some of you may be curious about the future. Well, let's talk about that. From the start, I said that Chapters 1 and 2 would be focused heavily on world building and character development. I feel that this has been done quite well, and it's time to move on to the bigger elements of the story.

Chapter 3 will start to see our characters get closer, if you want them to. I mean, who knows what might happen at a drunken party, or a weekend at the lake in skimpy bikini's and shots :) Choices made in Chapter 1 will start to play out in Chapter 3, which will take place in the "real world". Also, I've already started working out an idea for a Christmas special, based on the story of "A Christmas Carol". I'm sure many of you can work out what that might entail.

Once again, thank you for your support, and I look forward to hearing your feedback about Chapter 2!
