Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
Unfortunately I very much doubt that the full game will be released this year, or even the next one.
Development of Balance of Power is currently on hold for a few different reasons (I have made an announcement with the full explanation).
Even when I resume development of the game, unless I am in a position to work on it full time or I find a new partner to work with, the release of the remaining 6 routes will take longer than a year.
Best wishes,
Cami
What was your previous writer supposed to be working on? Like, did you have a basic outline for the game already and they were just supposed to type it up, writing full routes, or what?
I ask because I'd love to help if I could, no payment necessary. I just like the game so far and while I have no problem waiting however long is needed, I want to help.
Hello 🙂,
Thank you for your message.
My previous co-writer was predominantly handling Jack and Violet's route, as well as helping out with Casey, Marissa's and the 7th route. We worked together on the outline for all the routes and I was set to help out myself with Jack and Violet, but it's quite different for me to be helping and for me to be the sole writer for their route (and all 7 routes in general).
It's a mixture of workload and also just that bouncing ideas off of another person helped massively with my confidence in my writing and etc.
I've been making progress with Tommy's route lately, and I've written Ellis's, so it's likely I may be able to release a portion of the game while I work on the other routes (by seperating it into parts), but I predict the full game will probably be a while off whilever I'm working alone.
Truthfully I'd love to work with other people on it 😀, however I wouldn't want anyone to work for free. I'd have to figure out something with anyone I partnered with in that respect.
I'm currently focusing on 'To Grant A Wish', as I'm about to run the Kickstarter for it and it's almost finished, writing wise, but then I will be throwing my full efforts back into Balance of Power and will be able to do the game justice ^^. At that time I'll definitely be looking into potentially working with other people.

Alright, well I write fanfics and my offer to help or even just to be someone to bounce ideas off of stands if you ever need it.
Honestly I just like writing and helping people, so I don't really care about compensation personally, especially in cases such as one person making games and being unable to do it all themselves. It's a lot of work.
