Here's what I've done since the last devlog!
[list]
[*] Finished all CGs
[*] Finished all titlecards
[*] Completed half the music tracks needed
[*] Finished and implemented all backgrounds
[*] Added a new menu
[/list]
I'm aiming to complete all the music by the end of the month or very early April, and I feel confident that I can launch the File 03 beta for Patreon/Afdian members within the first two weeks of April. There are more CGs in File 03 than the other ones, so it took a bit of time to work up the motivation to complete them. However, happily I can report that they are done, and finally all the backgrounds are in the game as well.
I do have a whole list of revisions to the mystery to make, which isn't really represented here on the chart. I think I can probably get those done within a week. The Chinese translation is in progress already, and I'm predicting we will be able to release File 03 in the later half of April. Thank you for your patience!
April will be a big month for [i]Methods[/i] — we are releasing chapters 21-40 of the game on mobile named "Methods 2: Secrets and Death", as well as adding a Japanese translation to the first mobile game, [i]The Illusion Murders[/i] will be released for free as a standalone game, and there is the Methods 4th Anniversary update as well.
Until next time!
