I figured it'd be a good idea to check in, just in case anybody was wondering where things are currently!

I'm still working on a big update for the game, which will include the following:

• Unique Dialogue for every character
  
• Voice emotes for every character (recorded, just need to implement these)
  
• More dialogue in general, a lot of which will direct the player towards events.
  
• NPC sidequests
  
• Use-able phone
  
• More date activities and love scenes

Currently I'm the only person actively developing the game, so I appreciate the understanding with the uncertain release date. To put it mildly, I've learned a lesson about rushing out a product. If you were there for the launch you probably get where I'm coming from.

I've also been looking at your suggestions, and you've got some good ideas! I've been implementing a lot of the stuff that is a good fit with the game.

This update will be the base content for the physical release of the game. The physical release will follow shortly after the update.

When I have a definitely do-able release date, I'll make another big announcement and a trailer for the new content. Look forward to it!

You know, I swore I posted an update on release day. Guess not, oh well; I have more to talk about now!

The game is out, and thanks to the community's feedback; stable! I was a little rough at the start, but now that a couple hundred different hardware configurations had a crack at it we've got a better idea of the state of things. All reported bugs have been addressed. There should be nothing game breaking from here on. We're still smoothing a few things out, the first priority was that everyone should be able to run it. The original "snazzy" build which ran fine during our tests gave some folks trouble. We're working on making it "snazzy" again, just need to make sure it's snazzy for everyone.


We'll be adding content periodically to the game, some based on user feedback. Here's some of what you can expect:

• Unique Dialogue for every character
  
• Voice emotes for every character (recorded, just need to implement these)
  
• More dialogue in general, a lot of which will direct the player towards events.
  
• NPC sidequests
  
• Use-able phone
  
• More date activities and love scenes

I've been hard at work on these features, shouldn't be very long before a fairly big content patch! This will also include more direction towards the existing content which you may have missed.



I just want to say thanks to everyone for being so cool about some of the rough patches. Even when it comes to bad reviews, I couldn't have asked for better bad reviews. Seriously, for the most part everyone has been really great and understanding. Small team, small budget projects like this one are tough all around and the compassion is definitely appreciated.

Stay tuned for more updates soon!

Just wanted to make a quick announcement about the exact release time. I submitted the game to Steam a few days ago and it failed review, I made a mistake somewhere along the line and it wasn't even able to be downloaded. I believe I've fixed the issue and resubmitted the game just now.

There's a 3-5 business day turnaround on approvals and I believe I've done everything correctly this time, so expect Something To Do With Love to go live in 3-5 days. After it's approved it becomes much faster and easier for me to make changes, and there will be plenty up updates to the game coming!

This is my first game, and my first time using Steamworks. Next time will be smoother. Thank you for your understanding, sorry I messed up!

EDIT 6/18/19: The game failed review again, this time for different reasons. I'm going to make the requested changes and re-submit.

EDIT: 6/25/19: The game failed review, looking into the issues described now and updating the game. Enjoy the sales and check back soon, wishlist so you don't forget!

Hey guys! As we get closer to launch I figure I should make some trailers featuring the cast, so I did!

Hey guys, just dropping a little update here for people who don't follow me elsewhere.

The game is coming along nicely, however we found the December release date to be a little unrealistic for such a small team. The new release date is set at May 5th, expect it on that day! I'd like to thank our backers who gave us feedback on the delay and were very understanding.

You won't be empty handed this year, however. We will be releasing a new demo very soon which covers the entire first day of the game and allows you to meet all of the characters and explore the entire city of Garden Grove. Look forward to that!

One last thing, I've been getting reports of the game not loading past the "play" button. I haven't been able to reproduce the glitch on any of my computers but I assume it's something related to video playback since the first thing that happens is a FMV cutscene. If you've gotten this glitch please send me your hardware/OS details so I can try and reproduce/fix it. Thanks in advance!
