Black Rose: Episode Two's - Postmortem + Bugfix and the Future


EPISODE TWO IS A SUCCESS โœ…


Everything was a success โ•


๐Ÿ”ธOver 11,000 Downloads (& 1,000+ downloads in the first 24hrs of release!)

๐Ÿ”ธOver 400 Followers on Itch (200+ new)

๐Ÿ”ธMore than 2x increase of new Patrons on Patreon!


And to celebrate surpassing 10k Downloads on Itch, I made this very special wallpaper just for this very special occasion.


Thank my friend Coco (Worgen) for giving me the base idea of this celebratory wallpaper.

So yes, Episode two has been a success.

Because of the major growth seen from Episode One.


From just the First Episode to the 2nd Episode, there's been a noticeable leap in all facets.

And we're just getting started...


I want to continue growing this project.

I want to continue improving the production values, I want to continue growing the Patreon, and I want to continue growing our fanbase.


However, I believe I alone will not be able to accomplish this.

The truth is, it is thanks to the support I've received for Episode One, from Fans & Patrons that pushed me to do better.


I had actually delayed the release of Episode Two, because I wanted to make changes & improvements based off of the feedback received for the first episode.


My point is, if it wasn't for all of you, this Episode (0.2) would've turned out very different.

As I believe the success of this game will be because of you, those who've supported me.


Whether it's the backers on Patreon, those who bought the Exclusive Edition here, the critical & opinionated fans, or just sharing and spreading the word on the project.

It's those who will support this project in their own way, that will determine the future of this game.


I'm going to be doing a survey just for Patrons on Patreon.

If you want to participate in that, consider becoming a Patron.


I'll be posting a Dev-log on Episode 3 very soon.

Where I'll explain why I've been rather silent recently, and the progress of Episode 3.

Thank you.




The Bugfix Build


Did you reach this bit in Sachie's route?


I should likewise, finish this by explaining what I meant by 'bugfix'.

So for the builds of 0.2 before 21st April, there was this progress halting bug for Sachie's route that one of our Discord members brought to our attention.


Now thankfully it wasn't anything too fatal (game-breaking), and it could be avoided.


However if you felt Sachie's Episode 2 ended a lot sooner than Sanae's (ending at the pizza scene instead of the doorway scene), then you've probably experienced this glitch.

I apologize for this glitch, and will try to avoid this from happening in the future.


Thankfully, it's been fixed since April 21st.

And you can download the build again here, and carry on to see the full episode.
