Estimate release dates of next games

[Pace675]

Kinda makes me a little sad that Heirs & Graces along with Queen of thieves is going to beat out the one project I can not name....Nuuuu

[jack1974]

That game will be the last game I release before I die, at age 99!

So, update:
- removed C14 Dating from the list!
- Heirs & Graces now is at very good point. I didn't put 100% to writing since I might ask writer for some short text blurbs, etc. But the story is complete. Scripting is going well too
- Never Forget Me writing is done as well. Like above, didn't put 100% since there might be a few texts to add, but story is done
- Queen Of Thieves: writing, see above again, but story it's all done. Still missing 4 CGs and coding the main story battles
- Love Bites: some progress has been made on writing, but a lot is already planned
- Undead Lily: I put 90% in art, since artist is finishing the CG, I got the game map, etc. Since I haven't designed yet the gameplay there might be some more art needed (skill icons or GUI).

Overall was a good month since last update. I removed PSCD DLC from list, but in practice the extra romances could be added next month if all goes well!

Made a blog post about the next titles: blog/2016/04/titles-coming-out-in-the-next-months/
I really cannot know exactly when I'll finish them, and I don't want to say any dates... since there are a lot of things that can happen and delay stuff (for example right now I have some annoying real-life things going on that make me waste a few days every week!).
But at least, the order of releases should be the one I wrote in the blog!

Could you just please define beginning and end of summer as I know that some people count seasons differently and I would just like to know how you count them. For me summer is Jul - September but I know some people count it as Jun - August.

[Troyen]

I think since Jack is in Italy, he defines "summer" as "May 1st".

[jack1974]

Haha no, even if here can be crazy hot already in May, I count Summer as June to September
I honestly think QoT beta could start in June if all goes well. But then, not sure how long it will take...

[jack1974]

Also, depends how the Summer will be here. The ONLY year I've been able to work in the last 4-5 was the 2014, when I did SOTW, because it was the coldest (and most rainy) Summer of the last 100 years (or more).
Last Summer I was completely unable to do anything for 1 month and half. Whole July+half of August with tempeartures constantly over 30°C (and for most of the day over 35-36°C). And in my small computer room, the temperature was even higher. I have A/C, but it's too noisy and I hate it in general, so really there's no solution for me to work when it's so hot. I usually give up, also thinking that I work for the rest of the year every day without any holiday...
If that happens this year, even if I could start the QoT beta maybe at end of June, I won't be able to fix any bug

[Troyen]

Which is why you should start tomorrow.

[jack1974]

Well, I made progress with H&G much faster than I thought, so at least there's that. I don't want to rush doing a beta for QoT, if then I don't have the strenght to fix the bugs or tweak the combat. It would be cruel
