Just out of curiosity. Do you have an estimation on the release date? I'd like to know when it is possible to look forward to this game. Thanks.

I'm hesitant to post exact dates because, unfortunately, there's just a lot going on that can cause delays.
I'm still holding to 3rd Quarter next year at the earliest for the first six routes. Three routes (Reuben, Quill, and Yuu) were added during Kickstarter and will be added to the game after release as a free expansion - not as DLC. The routes are about 100,000 words each and four of the six are currently complete, one is in progress and one hasn't been started yet.
Writing is the most time consuming part so once I have the routes complete I'll probably be able to give a much clearer estimate on a release time frame and I work on the writing daily, trying to get it done. Each route is the equivalent on a fairly long novel so it just takes time!
I hope this helped. It's kind of a non-answer, but I'm definitely working as fast as I can. <3
No worries! I fret a little when people ask because the answer really is "As soon as I can get it ready for release!" But I am hoping by the end of the 3rd quarter.
Writing has gone a little slower than I was hoping due to the pandemic causing me to share my workspace. Drawing, I can do with distractions. Writing is a little harder - so that's caused an unexpected slowdown. I'm really determined to get the last two routes written more quickly!
Sorry I couldn't be more specific, though!
