Dev Update #65
🕑 Added 2025-06-30 12:38:10 +0000 UTCTLDR: E4 UltraViolet early access will launch 29th August, other tiers will follow accordingly
Hi everyone, as you can see above I can finally confirm a release date for E4. But I know that this date might disappoint you, especially given that I'm saying this right before we go into July when I previously said I was aiming for July. I know that's very unfair and frustrating for you and I'm sorry about that. End of August will be 8 full months since the release of E3 and I'm not proud of that. But unfortunately that's how long things have taken me and I can't go any faster with E4 - I'm working 14 hours a day, 7 days a week and doing everything I can. A lot of things have taken much more time than I anticipated, particularly with some new tools I've been using for the first time (that will be faster to use in future), new characters and new environments. I'm really excited (and stressed) to show you this next chapter.
I wish I could speed things up but anything earlier than that would force me to release something half baked. The truth is, what I have left will take me no less than about 56 days of hard work. I really wish I could give myself some more time for testing and such but I just can't. I'm just going to have to work on overdrive for these next two months and give it my everything. I don't want to waffle on but please know that E5 will not take this long. While every episode introduces more branching, perks and such - the extra development time for E4 has primarily revolved around the things that are new to the game and I'm very confident that E5 will be quicker than E4 to produce.
Thank you so so much for your patience and support. Please know that if you wish to pause your subscription until release that I have absolutely no issue with that. Your generosity is never something I want to take for granted so please remember that these weekly dev updates are public and you can still follow Elmwood if you ever need to pause your financial support.
Thank you.

The only thing I want to add (other than amazing game) is for the girls to show you before they swallow rather than just swallowing straight away (check being a DIK or The Assistant for what I mean).
