And I was looking forward to April :(( Any news on why it’s been delayed?
The game’s already finished, right?

It is easy to forget, or ignore even, the bold letters at the start of the release game threads which warn that the dates are, at best, estimates.
It is easy, but I’ve learned that I can’t let myself forget it again. I am… heartbroken, if I’m honest, because I too had settled on the April 7th date. But it’s not meant to be.
It’s true that the Rose has been delayed. The good news is that the new date isn’t that far off from the first, but I’m trying not to get attached to June the 2nd. For now, I’ll keep working on Book 2.
Hopefully, I’ll have some good news soon. Until then, have a lovely weekend!

Finished Coding the Prologue!
Look at it, ready to go. (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ )
As always, it’s a treat to watch the game actually play, to interact with the words I spent so long writing.
I was editing the text as I coded, and while it’s no secret that editing is not my favorite thing to do, it is also undeniable how important it is. I caught so many mistakes - not even simple typos, but entire sentences that were just… off. The idea of what I wanted to tell was there, but as I edited, I could polish and perfect it and cut off the parts that simply didn’t fit.
But it’s done, and I can finally move on to greener pastures!
Next, it follows my favorite part of the writing process: the first draft. I’ll return to my notebooks and pick up my pencil and just… write. Chapter one is decently outlined already - which is a first for me. Never before have I started a chapter knowing exactly everything that is going to happen in it. I’m sure, however, that I’ll end up expanding or adding something new, but those bouts of inspiration usually lead to my best scenes, so I won’t restrain myself.
However long the chapter ends up being, I can’t wait to start it. There are some old voices I miss hearing, old friends I miss writing. It has been far too long.
Have a great Monday!

Congratulations 
! That’s huge! I can’t wait for June so that I can get my hands on book 1, and then to eventually play the prologue you’ve worked so hard on

The little quotes before each chapter are they from other literature or the world of Golden Rose because I just googled Pythoness Cassia and the results are mostly about Golden Rose

It’s from the rose! Pythoness Cassia is Quintus’ domina, from book one’s prologue, so she’s a made up character.

Ravyn bursts into the room, roaring and gripping her axe. 
Me: “Ravyn! RAVYN!!! IT’S ONLY UNTIL JUNE! YOU’LL STILL GET TO GO ON THIS ADVENTURE, I SWEAR!!!” 
As Riese cradles Ravyn’s head in her lap, she groans in sorrow as she slumps into the couch.

It says you submitted it to Hosted Games but i cannot see it. Is it just me or by “submit” you meant that you are waiting for them to accept it ? I was very enthusiastic about this one and it just came to me that i haven’t checked it for a long while. Now i am very excited and anxious to read it.

“Submit” means the game has been sent for approval/publication, not that it has been released already. Current TENTATIVE release date is June 2nd.

Why does it take so long? I supposed book would only needed to be tested and confirmed by Hosted Games before getting released but it appears there is a lot of work to do considering the release date. I have very limited knowledge about publication process and it’d great if you can explain it a little, if you don’t mind of course.

No idea. I THINK it’s because CoG has to process a lot of submissions, running beta, editing, etc., and they have a limited staff.
