I really enjoy it, such a great writing. But I think there’s a bug?

There’s a new update up! In this update, I’ve:

  • Uploaded three quarters of the final public demo.

    • Added the route where both MC1 and MC2 joined the Sovereignty.

  • Fixed various spelling, grammar, and continuity errors (the dam should now properly be built if you failed to destroy it).

  • Added the ability to choose a significant other for MC1 or MC2 and set if they are asexual or aromantic to the quick start feature.

There is a new update available for the members of my Patreon page! This update will be accessible by the public one week from today. In the update, I’ve uploaded the final public demo (the route where both main characters join the Radicals in chapter 6 is new), fixed some spelling/grammar errors I found, and written some 401,908 more words.

There’s also lore/supplementary content, commissioned artwork, and polls, so if that sounds like something you would be interested in, consider becoming a patron!

THE FINAL PUBLIC DEMO OF THESE RELUCTANT YEARS IS NOW ACCESSIBLE.

It includes:

  • All six chapters of the story up until the final battle.
    • The battle and epilogue(s) are currently being written and will be accessible to beta testers and those who purchase the final game.
    • New content is the route in chapter six where both MC1 and MC2 joined the Radicals.
  • More than 1.5 million words.
  • A feature-complete quick-start menu.
    • Please note that the quick-start feature will NOT be present in the beta test or the final game – it is merely for ease of use for players who want to experience the newest content.

It’s been a long few years, but I would like to thank everyone that stuck by me throughout everything! All of my supporters on the Choice of Games forum, Tumblr, Patreon, and elsewhere mean the world to me. I truly couldn’t have done any of this without you all, and I would like to extent my sincere gratitude to those who were patient with me as I juggled my career as a narrative designer (my “day job,” as it were) with writing Years. I can’t say it’s been the smoothest ride, but the end is in sight! Keep an eye out for a beta test and final release!

And once again, thank you, everyone! (:

@EvilChani Hello! This is the post you requested be made in my own forum thread. I would like the account associated with the previous versions of the demo of my game to be deleted, like we discussed. Thank you very much!
