Chapter Twenty-four (0.24.0) Update #2

Added 2022-01-09 21:37:37 +0000 UTC

SPOILER WARNING: As with the previous update, there are spoilery images posted below. Back out if you haven't seen the end of Ch23 and romanced Sydney in Ch16.

Here we are, arm-deep in the current build. Let me tell you that this is one of the more complex chapters to date. Because of the need to juggle two separate scenarios that overlap at multiple shared points, we're going to have our hands full in the testing phase. Throw in two points (depending on which arc you're on) where you have to choose which person to hang out with and there's a lot to see here that players won't get in one play-through.

With the recently-announced The Interim Domain, I'm certain some of you are curious as to how the schedule is going to play out. Here is the plan (baring unforeseen complications):

Release Ch24 of Now & Then (0.24.0)
Release Ch25 of Now & Then (0.25.0)
Release the Endings for Now & Then (0.26.0) - Yes, this needs its own release. Hell, we've been working on it in our downtime between releases for months now and already have 600 renders and almost 100 animations and we're not even halfway done.
Release 0.01.0 of The Interim Domain.
At some point, release the Final build of Now & Then, which will involve a clean-up of the code, some re-shoots, and bonus content (like the Chapter Select screen below).
