Dates & Wires 1.03 changelog + news!


Hey everyone, it's been a long time since we last touched this game - but after a 1.5 year of creative hiatus I thought about how much fun we had working on it and decided to go back to give it some much needed tweaks and improvements.

This is the first update that addresses some of the more urgent issues we had with the game: some of the dialogue choices being unclear, Fixer being a bit too Fixer and our MC, Ashley, acting a bit too obtuse in some of the dates. 

The biggest new addition is an introduction of a new character if you choose to leave Dan's date during his experimental noise demo... The outcomes for that scenario will also vary depending on whether you played Sandman's date or not. Full changelog will be posted below.

Now, our second update that we're currently working on will be much more ambitious: as our players have rightfully complained about the game being too short and lacking in the romance department, we're currently working on adding a day 2 scenario for every character. 

Assuming you've reached their best ending on day 1, which the game will now inform you of.  Some of these dates will be more romance oriented, while others will explore more of the lore of the game - in the end we had to do what's right for any given character.  But you can expect some real connection this time, even with some optional spicy endings. Where day 1 was quantity over quality, day 2 is all about building a true bond with your date of choice - so choose carefully who you spend your day with.

Estimated release date TBD , but likely Summer 2024!

o Leaving Dan's date halfway through now features a new story branch and character appearance.

We are, though the comic is still on hiatus. At least in my case I needed something that would make me love creating again and going back to this game seemed like a way to do it. Hopefully it'll lead to making more and better things:) -Cryo
