#I'm always nervous about sharing unfinished things because I am thin-skinned and don't like being perceived

Hello! I hope I don’t sound rude and I’m so sorry if I am but I remember you saying that a version of the demo to the idle hands game was on Patreon? I was wondering when you think you will release to the public (if you will at all)?

Super curious to have a taste 👀

This isn’t to pressure you, just curiosity

Love your game ❤️‍🔥

the Idle Hands demo I posted on Patreon is a very very early-alpha version of the prologue, pretty much just a proof of concept. I had started on it originally as a way to play with coding where I wouldn't have to worry about breaking anything in the main Speaker game.

it still needs a lot of work: in addition to a thorough editing/rewrite, the layout/themes need to be redone, it's missing stat/skill points, has no menu pages, has only the most basic descriptions of the different supernatural types you can choose from, and all the character customization choices need to be completely redone from the ground up. also the only characters introduced in the prologue are the Witness and Casey

it's pretty much just a bare bones version of the prologue, and the "full release" version will be very different from what it is right now.

however, if this is something a lot of y'all are really interested in seeing, and you understand that this is a pre-alpha unfinished sketch of what it will eventually be... I don't see why I couldn't share it 💙

actually, this seems like a good time to abuse the fact that I just got polls:
