Signed and Sealed With a Kiss
Expansion - Slight Delay
Signed and Sealed With a Kiss » Devlog
Hi, all!
I mentioned it in the comments of the last post after it happened, but I, unfortunately, lost a number of workdays last week to three attempted break-ins on my home. While I've tried to crunch to meet the original deadline, I can't realistically see myself being able to finish programming and debugging the game before the end of the day. The ETA with the delay is 48 - 72 hours. Apologies for the inconvenience.

rip to anyone still waiting on this
I guess it's not in development anymore. Looks like the creator is working on other stuff
Is it alright if we have at least an update, please?
I think this might be an answer, I checked up on Reine Works a few minutes ago and saw:
"Unfortunately, I've been dealing with a lot of severe health issues that directly affect how much I can work in a day between 2021 and 2022 (I've developed carpal tunnel in both hands, among other issues). Everything is still being worked on, but it's very slow. My goal is to have a playable update for each WIP title by the end of the year, but the Canadian health system has been fighting me at every turn to get treatment, so we'll have to see how it goes."
Hope you get better soon!!
I got to be honest, it's unfortunate, but my sympathy has run dry. If that has been the case since 2021 why were all those post in the past about something totally different, aka the break in. Health issues that cause them to be unable to work are MUCH more reasonable to share and people will understand.
So at this point, these are just excuses this person is finding so people won't get angry. It works because people are usually not smart with their money and think everyone is trustworthy. I think the issue here is the developer just doesn't have a good work ethic
All in all, do get better, but you should have been more honest from the start, people are ok with whatever happens as long as you communicate and are honest. However, what I hate is those that don't bother communicating until the last minute, it just shows me that the person doesn't give a crap about the other people they should have been communicating with...
One studio literally was honest and said they have to drop their game because people just got busy lives with college and finding jobs and personal lives. However, they suddenly popped up several months ago saying they are ready to work on the game again. That's what being honest and communicating looks like.
Hope you read this and understand that in business you need to be honest and able to communicate no matter what. I still wish success on this project because people are looking forward to it.
is this still being worked on...?
Honestly, like people have already said, we hope that everything is ok and you are all healthy.
Not a lot more I can say. It's been almost a year. I came back to check and not really surprised there is no updates.
Just be well, and if well then maybe it's best not to take people's money in future and build up trust first through simple projects...that's at least the advise i can give business-wise. I don't think you guys have to close down, but definitely need to understand how business works and know what it means to keep trust with consumers.
I understand that things happen, but you have to at least tell us how everything's going, this game page has been radio silent since about seven months ago.
When people have paid for something, you have to communicate with your audience and tell them how far or close you are to finishing.
We care about this game and we want the best for y'all, even if it takes a bit longer, as long as we know how it's going and what point you're at, most people would be understanding, but we need to be updated.
If you can't finish a project (which is fair enough, you can't control life and what happens) you have to refund the payments, otherwise you've just taken money and left, and that doesn't seem very funky.
It's been 3 years and the payers (myself included) deserve their money's worth, if you're unable finish it, refund the payers, please :O
Again, if something has happened, I'm truly sorry, and I hope it gets better and I'd (and the rest of the fans of the game'd) be happy to hear updates both in general and in the game progress :D
Wow, I hope you're doing OK!
How is the development going on the expansion?
Hey hey! Hope you guys are doing well after everything, how's the development going so far? :D
there been delays since 2019. It is almost 2022, I don't know how many times the game was given over to a different publisher, but it seems like whoever is working on the game is extremely lacking the ability to actually finish it in a decent amount of time.
I just going to say this once, if it was for free then of course taking as much time as needed is OK, but once you start involving money then you are entering territory where there has to be some accountability. I hope you can get through all the trials and tribulations, but if after all this time the full released expansion does not introduce a bunch of new things and just ends up having repeated dialogues that you seen before in other routes.... basically if someone can finish the two new routes in just 30 minutes-1 hour then whoever is working on this should be ashamed for making their supporters wait sooo long for just a just bonus content.
In conclusion, be honest with consumers instead of giving misleading information or unrealistic release dates knowing the work ethic isn't there. If you want to see what it means to be honest with consumers then look at the post from the developers that made "The Divine Speaker" on itchio; they give a break down of everything going on and why the game is not released and honestly say they can't give a clear release date. It shows true respect to their consumers, and no one will be upset because the content they have released was completely free.
Sorry for being harsh, but it has to be said. I don't think other people should completely turn away from the game just because of this. However there needs to be some accountability.
Indeed, it's a week until two months after it was promised, I hope they're doing okay, but a progress report would help us understand at what point the game is.
same I would hope nothing bad happened to them. I did see their new game title failed in the kickstarter and i don't know if they delivered on their promise of giving their backers the game with limited assets.
I'm sorry it's not done yet, folks. I'm still working on it, but my entire family is still dealing with the aftereffects of what happened to us, and it's really difficult to be productive in a space where you can no longer feel safe. At the very least, I can promise it'll be out before Christmas.
Sorry again, and thank you for your patience. This year has been one thing after another, but I'm doing whatever I can to get things back to as close to normal as possible, at least for next year.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, I hope you are doing alright. It's no inconvenience at all, please take all the time you need. Take care <3
Thank you so much.
It has been an interesting month, unfortunately. It'll probably be a while before we feel completely safe in the house again. but we haven't had any more "unexpected visitors" for a few days, so things are slowly going back to normal.
