Did almost all the endings, and thanks to sleepykitten changed some a bit since otherwise is hard to understand when you got a new one :) Some endings are basically variants of the same ending, and there were differences of like one single sentence... when playtesting it was really hard to understand which ending you got in some cases, so we decided to change slightly the wording to help the player (also will probably add a text with "you unlocked the ending XYZ" to make even more clear).
Still have to do more testing though before sending again to proofreader for final check, though I won't delay the beta just for some typos :wink: I think should be ready sometimes next week though.

"Hey,I'm sure it'll all go end up well"?? does the "go" need to be in that sentence?

No, the texts still needs to be checked, I realized when I already posted the screenshot :lol:

Jack,
I like the idea of saying "you unlocked ending xyz"
:P
Why? I like big ones, that's why.

OK I think I'm done with everything for this game, tomorrow will begin a short private testing session and then start the public beta. During the "private testing" I want to try reaching all the possible endings without using cheatcodes, since I'm not sure they can all be unlocked :lol:
This testing will be hard because the game has a lot of branching, so will psot some instructions when I begin the public beta testing (of course you might want to ignore them and try playing on your own!). Public beta will be next weekend at the latest, but probably sooner!

Testing is at good point so might make it available either later today (in 8-9h to be clear for other timezones) or tomorrow :)

Well I have not really good news. Despite all the efforts of the testers, for every plot bug I find, a new one surfaces.
As I wrote in the blog, there are too many plot holes. I think the best is to keep the scenes but rewrite the main plot flow in a simpler and easier to test way.
For those who preordered already no worries, I always release the games. It's just that will need a bit of extra time, while I thought it was already at a good point... but will get it done as soon as possible, with the help of other writers.
