We’re mid-August now, which means we’re getting really close to our beta release. We just wanted to make a relatively quick post explaining how it’ll work and give a minor update on progress.

We’re inviting a small number of people to help give feedback on WiP on a monthly basis. We’ll be updating their builds every month with fixes, more scenes, etc. Every time we update, we’ll be posting the patch notes (with some trimming to avoid spoilers) on the blog. After we hit the first branching point in the VN, we’ll get one last round of input and then release that as our public demo.

The initial release will contain the first couple of scenes in the VN. The writing is done, the majority of the art is ready and music is still making progress. We’ll be bringing people in on the 31st, so we’re really close to hitting our deadline. We also plan on doing some outside work including moving the blog away from Wordpress to something a bit more reliable.
