Chapter 3 status

Hello!
I've been getting questions as the year closes in toward the end if i'll be able to hold my promise about completing this thing before the year is out.
Short answer: No. :(
If i'd managed to keep pace with the work as I had through earlier in the year, then yes it would have been complete. But since September, a combination of increased amounts of RL work responsibility and the passing of a very close friend of mine really put a huge wall right in the way of my productivity. I've had to recalibrate my life a little and find my feet again. I am good now, perhaps even better then before thanks to the people around me. <3
I hope this does not put a damper on peoples expectations. I am closer then ever to finishing this project, like the finish line is a few months away rather then years away.
It's not been without progress, the Beta testers have been to great help ironing out bugs and providing feedback. With their help, the end results will be so much more polished.
I have 3 weeks off in the end of December. I will be spending it crunching away on Aweworld and seeing how far I can get it. It'll not be the final crunch I had hoped for. But after that I think I will essentially be in the final stages where it's just polish polish polish.
Love you all, thank you for your patience. The amount of Art, drama and effort Im trying to cram into Chapter 3 I hope will make up for the wait.
I will provide a new update in January after my crunch with a new estimate for release date.

That's not to say you should dedicate every single minute of free time into this game either! It's christmas time, so you should also make sure to spend your time with the people you love and care about, and give yourself a break here and there. I know you're eager to finish the story, and many of us are eager to see what you got, but don't push yourself too hard until you reach a breaking point.
I'm sure the end product will be more than worth the wait. :3
I know I'd much prefer a project you took the time and care to do right, than rushing it out the door. It'll be enjoyable to read through whenever it comes out~
