Pre-Alpha Update Update

Hey all. I just wanted to let everyone know that it may be a little bit before the next pre-alpha gets released, in case you were getting anxious.

I have it in a state where it's more or less unplayable until I get what I'm working on completely finished, so bear with me for a couple days!

There's a pretty large weekend event that I'm about 25% done writing, as well as working on fixing the blank scene issue people are reporting. On top of that, though, I'll just leave everyone with two words:

"Chapter" "Select"

6.0 - Added Value

Greetings everyone!

I'm happy to report that October has proven to be a fairly productive month! New pre-alpha builds are coming out regularly and Chapter 3 is shaping up nicely. Not only are we moving forward at a steady pace, but a lot of things are getting cleaned up and polished along the way. In fact, that's what I want to focus on today.

While the focus of Alpha 6.0 is to further along the main story, there's still a lot of opportunities to make some tweaks to the existing content. One of the most obvious ones players will notice ...

6.0 - The Casting Couch

Greetings everyone!

It's been a great first week of work implementing Chapter 3 into the game. The new event system is coming along nicely (currently being referred to as "Personal Events") and all the groundwork for the new character has been laid.

I'll touch more on those things in a bit. For now, let's get straight into it!

6.0 - Back on Track

Greeting everyone!

I'm happy (read: severely depressed) to report that I've returned from my trip to Japan and I'm excited (read: actually excited) to get back to work on The Company!

It was a glorious two weeks of amazing food, public baths, shopping, city exploration, crippling humidity and more walking than I ever care to repeat in that kind of time span again! Seriously, I lost 15 pounds!

I also managed to get through the whole vacation with only four near-death encounters!

• Almost got my backpack caught in the ceil...

6.0 - New Challengers Approach

Greetings everyone!

With work on Chapter 3 beginning soon, I wanted to take some time to give everyone an idea of what they should expect from the 6.0 update. Honestly, it's a little hard to preview this particular update without giving too much away, but I'll do my best!

In Regards to Release

I always hate giving out any kind of release information because all it does is sets an expectation that I invariably fail to meet. That in mind, my intention is to have Update 6.0 and Chapter 3 out "Before December". Natura...

Now, yes, you'll notice that it's woefully underdeveloped, but since I won't have much time to work on it in the near future I thought it would be better to post something to help people through the new Sophie-related content rather than to hold onto it for another couple months until it was actua...

Greetings everyone!

I'm posting an off-schedule devblog tonight because there were a few things I wanted to talk about regarding the impending 5.4 update.

First of all, it's done! These next few days leading up to release will be spent testing the new content and mechanics and fixing any major issues before Wednesday. Now I want to talk about the release itself.
