I'll try to improve the performance, nonetheless :D There are really just a few reasons I keep it in HDRP, and I think I can work around that. Maybe even have it on mobile and HTML. Not gonna go just too much ahead of myself - I'm still just one guy doing almost all the work. We'll see.
The first episode (if nothing too unexpected happens) is set to be done sometime in early 2021 - say January/February. I hope. But, I think I can manage to make the whole game by the end of 2021. Funding will definitely make my life much less miserable, although I'll try to push it through whatsoever.

[SPOILER] ~~One of the endings~~ ~~will be with Cooper up there. Not sure if you'll want it, tho~~ ;)

Exciting timeline, Q1 2021 for the first episode sounds awesome. What's the length expected for Ep 1? And, are there any other ways to help financially other than Patreon?

Also, of course I want that ending, I want to see how the rich people live, even if that means making choices that I wouldn't normally. A good motivation for a second playthrough. :)

Hehe! Yes, that's kind of the intention. I just hope to pull it off. The game won't be 20 hours long (probably), but (hopefully) rewarding for playing it several times. There will be entirely different play styles, approaches, reactions, and experiences, although the core story arc will always be similar.

My estimation for the length... really depends on your reading speed (hehe) and how deep you will engage. Act One's main story will be like 5-10 times this Prologue, only with more side interactions. The Prologue will be richer as well. For example, there should be some kind of news feed on the computer, more exploring around the office, etc. All not necessary for the playthrough, but more to meet the world and the characters.

Act 1 will be available on all applicable platforms, eventually maybe even mobile. Still, at this point, there is only Patreon and itchio. I'll rework some of the Patreon tiers to give more exciting rewards like adding your character to the game and so on.

Thanks for all the info, I'm predicting a lengthy playthrough for myself since I really like exploring and getting as much from the world as possible. Maybe when closer to the Act One release we could do a live interview & talk more about the world.. I have many (more) questions. :)

You are very welcome! Looking forward to it! Now, back to the laboratory! 8)
