Around six weeks ago, I announced that the 7th July would be the release date for The Valentine Watch demo. Unfortunately I will not be able to meet this deadline.
To put it simply, there was a significant feature of the game that I thought I could postpone until after the release of the demo. However, as I was putting pieces together it became abundantly clear that it would have to be done now rather than later.
This past month I've been embroiled within its implementation. While I have since moved passed it, I had to drop every other aspect of the game to forward its completion: I even had to postpone the development of the website and the twitter.
While a working demo could be hastily cobbled together over the course of a week, I am certain that this demo would not match the vision of the game I set out to create almost five years ago.
Instead I'm going to take my time to develop each feature to the fullest, cultivating an online presence in the process. While I'm not confident enough to reschedule a release date just yet, I will be sure to keep the community in the loop-- expect screenshots, clips, developer logs and more along the way.
As much as it pains me to say it, I need you all to wait a little longer. There will be much to come very, very soon.
Lots of Love,
J. Akorah
