And so the Sun has risen and dawn drawn to a close.
But now the day becomes overcast…
When will you see the Sun again?

Thank you all for the great reception to the demo in this first month! Now that time has passed, you must surely be asking yourselves the same burning question.

What now?

Well, here is the plan going forward:

As our Sun has risen, another Sun, elsewhere, elsewhen, has begun to set…

Indeed. DELTARUNE Chapter 5 is releasing in a matter of hours. As you might expect, everyone on the team will be far too busy with that to work on the game.

In fact, shortly after the last patch went out, the team has been taking a break. Releasing the demo took a lot out of us, and we all deserved a nice break to enjoy the start of the summer. Point is, this break will likely extend for a week after the drop of the chapter.

Once that break is over, we hope to get working on v.1.0.3 of the demo which will attempt to aid the performance issues found when playing on weaker hardware, especially in the CORE square, alongside some tweaks to balance and general bug fixes.

It will also include a new song!

This patch will hopefully be the last patch the demo will receive. Once it's done, we will shift our focus to the full game.

With that said… We are also happy to announce that work has begun on official translations of the demo into Chinese and Spanish. We will be sharing more details on these at a later point.

Looking beyond the demo, I'm sure some of you have been wondering what the release structure of the full game will be. Well, the answer is that the full game will be released all at once whenever it is complete. When will this happen? Well, I can't say for sure, of course, but considering the time it took for the demo to be complete, I would not expect it to be ready in less than two years, likely more.

Seeing as the demo covered the first 5 days, and the full game is planned to have [ ], you can see that we've made [ ]% of the game! Not to mention all the [ ] and [ ] still to make!
This will really be a [ ]…

Don't despair, however! We will still be sharing frequent updates on Gamejolt, Tumblr and the Discord server. (And twitter… I guess…)

On a final note, we want to assure everyone that we are working to release the full demo OST. Hopefully we will have everything sorted for a release sometime in July. Thank you for your patience.

Until then, enjoy DELTAJUNE!

Kind Regards,
The Eclipse
