Hi everyone... Thank you for being patient so far. Unfortunately, I have to delay the Demo 2.0 release by a few more days. My prediction is about a week or two longer. 

I thought three weeks was enough for me to code everything together, but it seems I was being too optimistic. In the past I've coded projects at a rate of ~10k words per three 8 hour days (24 work hours total), but I failed to account for myself crashing for a whole week after the ordeal... (´。＿。｀) With Demo 2.0 being ~50k new words to script, burnout caught up pretty fast. 

I'm currently about halfway through coding the whole game (inclusive of Demo 1.0). You can read about my process for doing this here. The full script is in Renpy and I've placed my guesstimate expressions and positions for images during each scene. This is my third pass through the script where I'm testing every scene, making sure expressions fit the given lines, etc. I've timed myself to be able to do the third pass programming of about 1k lines per 4 hours. 

This past week I've limited myself to about 2-3 hours of devwork per weekday, and will be trying to do more on the weekend. Although I can run the numbers and make a prediction for when I'd finish, I'd like to avoid making a set deadline since there's a chance I might miss it again. When I am done, I will make a new announcement for the Demo 2.0 release. For anyone curious about updates and progress, I post weekly devlogs on my twitter and tumblr. 

Thank you again everyone for being supporting and being so patient! 🙇‍♂️ Here is a small preview of an image used in the game!
