SMUSH. No wonder Peter was terrified! Ah, I love it, look at that big ol’ grin! She’s having fun. Looks like she’s going to go right through your computer! Be careful. Thanks again to the awesome fishe for her awesome art!

How’s it going?

So, the expansion with Jonas’s room. It’s been a while, huh? I’m sorry for the wait. I’ll admit, I naively thought I could get it done in a few weeks; after all, I made the original version, janky as it was, in 2 weeks and the Sylvia expansion didn’t take much longer. But the key difference is, back then, I only had those things to work on. But now, due to the success of the game, and your loving support, I’ve had a lot more things to attend to involving this game and my gaming career.

I’m currently working with a larger studio on a game which will involve Karla! Not as a main character or anything! Not a story-focused game. But I think you’ll find the result rather entertaining. I can’t say any more than that though, for now. Plus, when it comes to delays, my various responsibilities in real life kept stacking up this past month and really hampered progress. But, I have been working hard to get you the good content you deserve. When it releases, you’ll know it’ll be after as much honing and fine-tuning as possible.

When will it be released?

I was hoping for this weekend, but I’m not sure if that’s feasible. If not, then next week definitely, no farther than that, I promise you 100%. Once I can really see a reasonable deadline, I will announce it for all to know!

I’m going to be releasing the game as a Definitive Edition. After all, I am not planning any more additions to the game after this expansion, although who knows, that could change, but for now, assume not.

What is it?

The Definitive Edition will include the following:

• A story of failure, hope, and the fear of the future as told by Jonas, Karla, and the new resident, Darci, Jonas’s sister. I’ve really been putting my soul into this regretful tale, as I did with the other stories, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

• New music!!! Each room/character will have their own song. The original version was about 30 minutes long, but now the game is twice as thick. So, I’m going to be changing up the music for y’all, to make it a better experience.

• Some visual fixes and upgrades. There’s a few things where I’m thinking, “This could look better”. So, I’ll make them look better. Simple and clean!

• A trailer!!! That’s right, a short trailer! Nothing too long, probably around a minute or so, but it’ll be vital for successfully getting the word out and bringing as many people into this as possible. I have years of experience and skill with professional video editing, so I can’t wait to make it.

Wow! That’s a lot. And there’s more?

Yup! Once I realize what is a reasonable deadline, I will announce it as soon as possible. It will either release this weekend or next week. I’ll be posting WIP work in my Patreon, where you can also see canon comics, gifs, and art of the characters interacting with each other outside of the game, all for just $5 a month. Nothing past the end though…gotta keep that ending mysterious ;) https://www.patreon.com/chillingcircuits

Also, if you sign up for Patreon or pay in the pay-what-you-want download, your name will be in the game! A list of the people who paid for Isaac’s bday party is already in the game, and will be updated every week for any new additions. There’s no limit to how long the list can go; Isaac is a very popular man.

To clarify, pay-what-you-want gets your name in the game, and the comics/art/WIP is exclusive to Patreon.

Also, there’s a tumblr! Already, people have been asking questions through it and the fanart of today was submitted into it! Already paying off. After every couple of questions, I’ll post a compilation to this site. https://whoiseegame.tumblr.com/

That sure was a lotta text, huh? Well! Thanks for reading! Y’all are awesome, and I’m excited to give you the content you seek. :)
