Hello everyone! Lakeview Valley has been out for almost a week, so I wanted to talk about what's coming next! There were some stuff that I really wanted to add into the game for release, but just didn't have the time because I wanted to hit the Halloween window. But that doesn't mean that I'm just scrapping them! So now I can officially announce that I've started to work on a bigger update called "The Upper League"!

Well, at least a couple of new secret boss fights, some new tools, and a new feature that allows you to [i]really[/i] get to know the villagers...

I know the game still has some issues that my rushed development caused, but as I have said before, I had to do it this way if I want to continue working as a game developer. And, I can now say that HypnoGames (my company, it's still just me here) gets to continue business through 2020! So thank thank thank YOU! I'm just trying to feed my kids and all of you have made that possible! I've also been thinking that releasing Lakeview Valley on Early Access might've been better, but I kinda feel that there's still a stigma around it among players, so I didn't do it that way. So now I ask you: What's Your opinion on Early Access? I feel like I've at least proved that I post patches regularly (some even say it get's annoying how the game updates so often), so I think I might be trustworthy enough to not seem like I'm trying to make a buck on a game that I don't intend to finish. Early Access is something that I will consider more seriously for my next game, which is going to be an episodic game again. The name of it starts with L and ends with a 2. So it might be better to do a proper release when all the episodes are in, while letting players get in right when the first is released. Instead of, you know, doing a full release with just one episode, so Steam doesn't give a **** when all the episodes are released and treats it like a regular update. I have some experience about that. I'm rambling again. Meds are kicking in, so I'll put my headphones in and get back to working on Valley! Best, Roope PS: You can [url=https://discord.gg/8RgGJ7T]join our Discord[/url] to discuss the game and report bugs, it's easier to contact me there anyway! I also really want to know what you might want to be added into Valley, so let me know and it might make into the Upper League update!
