Overdue Update
Hey, y'all! I'm so sorry for the lack of updates regarding this project. I recently received a comment from a concerned player about the status of this project, wondering if it was still being worked on. And if one person is wondering that, that leads me to believe multiple people are asking themselves the same thing. To dispel your worries, Winning Hearts has not been abandoned. However, it has been placed on the back-burner for the time-being. But before I get into why, allow me to give you all a long overdue update on the project.
Progress Report
- The demo is now on Steam!
- All the art for the game is done! They were completed back in January 2022.
- All the music for the game is done! The tracks were completed in May 2022!
- Achievements pop-ups have been added. Similar to when you unlock an achievement on Steam, you'll get one in-game for doing something, like unlocking an ending.
- The gallery and achievement screens have been added
- The second interlude with Jenna (this takes place after the MC visits Slip) has been written and edited
- The current codex entries have been proofread and fixed
- The scene where Zorro and the kid speak Spanish has been translated!
Why is Winning Hearts on the back-burner?
There's multiple answers for this: failing to allocate time correctly, taking on more than I can chew in terms of workload, writer's block, but the biggest answer is I don't have the funds right now. Currently, my funds are being split between bills, A Marble's Muse (a commercial project that I long started before this game), and Fling with a Tiefling (an upcoming short romance game with broader appeal). Additionally, I focused my attention on free games in hopes of getting my name out there, like Candied Hearts and Beta:Over to varying degrees of success.
Still, that does not excuse my lack of updates, nor does that excuse my lack of progress on the game. For that, I apologize. I need to do better.
Moving Forward
I'm going to try my best to work on the game, which means putting money towards the game so progress can be made. I do have a Ko-fi and Patreon open, whose funds go towards my game development, but please do not feel obligated to donate or pledge to either.
For those who has left a comment, rating, etc, thank you. Like I said earlier, I promise to do better. I hope you have a wonderful day/night, and keep a smile on that face.
