Ok this may be a stupid question since the act 2 just released, but when is act 3 coming out? Is it going to be a few months, a year, maybe even more? I've played this game for the first time when act 1 just got released and after more then a year later it was totally worth waiting for act 2, it just overcame my expectations by how good it was so i just wondered when will be the approximate release date for the next act.
We have approximately half of Act 3 written and many of the art assets already done! The game needs serious optimization and some code updates which will definitely take some time. Ideally it'll take less than a year to get to the Act 3 public release since Act 3 is more of a content push than the prior two acts.
Act 2 took extra long because we had more "requirements discovery" as we fleshed out Act 1 designs and gameplay mechanics. We added all kinds of new stuff like critter dates, illustrated stories and critter gifts to give players a richer experience in the Forest. There are several new minigames to design, but we mostly have the tools in place now to tell the story we want to tell. :}
that's encouraging to hear. the game to me is one of those hidden gems. everything is just great and i really want to support its development but unfortunately, with the amount of games out there that, if you look at the bottom line, they're just cash grabs, always stalling and barely anything new comes out (with very few exceptions where even if they do that, i still wanna throw my cash at them).
anyway, i wish you all the luck and health you need and hope you can reach your goals. i can't wait to be paying for this game.
