You've been getting an email here and there about filling our surveys and locking orders in, but also, since we're close to the first digital round going out, I wanted to touch base and let you know what's going on right now for the immediate timing and show a couple features/design choices with the PDFs you'll be getting soon.
First, all filled out surveys will lock tomorrow, and then I'll be submitting card charges for any add-ons or pre-order store purchases shortly after to make sure we're ready to go into digital release.
Second, what I'm working on right now is making sure the digital format is set to go and then updating the itchio pages so I can send you codes.
This means, I'm adding links to all the "go to page" prompts so, if you're using the PDF, you can click on it, and it will take you right to the page without you having to search (like in the image here):
I'm also creating an instruction document that tells you how to print physical copies so you end up with two side-by-side page like this:
Or one full page like this:
I'm also making new title card images for each story (like these):
And am updating the itchio page text + adding screenshots from the new versions of the game (like this):
For each book, it's like a 12 step process to update everything, and it does take some time, so, this means you may start to see updated itchio pages a few days before I send everyone their codes for digital downloads just because I won't be able to to ALL the page updates on the same day of distribution. If you see Hans Gets Hangry pop up with a new version on itchio today, it's just me getting ready for distribution, and you haven't missed getting your download key.
Other than that, I have a new Dev Log out that goes into some more detail about StoryGuider and its detail schedule, which you can find here:
