Dev Log #11: Chapter 3 completed! The final stretch approaches!

It's that time again!
Chapter 3 is Complete!
Soma Union has reached the next major milestone in its development, with Chapter 3 now being fully completed and playable. This just leave Chapter 4, which consists of a single area, and then the final dungeon and ending segments of the game. The good ol' Progress Chart below will give us a better visual of where things are, so let's take a look!
We're getting pretty close! And the good news is that, plot-wise, most of the major story hurdles are now over and done with. So I'd say that I'm at "the top of the hill" story-wise, so to say. And the finish line is very clearly visible at the bottom of that hill. There's still a lot of ground to cover though, so it's not time to give up yet!
Well, maybe for a little bit. After I get Chapter 3 a round of testing and cleaning over the next week or so, I'm looking forward to taking a couple of weeks away from the project to avoid burnout. I want to make sure I'm in a good frame of mind to tackle Chapter 4 and the final area. So I'm hoping to take it head-on sometime in mid-March.
Some Extra Additions
I've also taken the opportunity to add some extra flavor text and miscellaneous things to earlier areas, particularly the Starship Virtue which was featured in the demo.
For example, you can now interact with the soda machines next to Carrot Palooza, and in other places that they are found as well. You'll usually get some cheap off-brand soda, but if you're lucky you might get the machine to give you something yummy (and healthier)!
You can also win figurines of the training dummies that you can fight in the training room. If you reach certain scores during Score Attack, you can have them placed in Zero's room! Sadly they don't do anything cool but they're nice to look at and maybe they'll have some funny dialogue or somesuch. Who knows!
I'm really looking forward to tackling the final stages of development, and I'm still aiming for the second half of 2021 to release this game. I'm sure I'll have a better idea of the game's exact release as we draw closer. But it's done when it's done!
Thank you again for continuing to follow this project! Exciting times are ahead!

CloseCongrats! :DDDD I'm extremely excited to see this game finished, and I love all these little touches you're adding!
I also love how the progress chart now looks like my middle school notebook. Or any notebook I have really. I still doodle in them XDXD

Wow I didn't know you were working on a sequel of Soma Spirits. I suppose the game will be on Steam like Soma Spirits ?

Hey! Glad to see you're looking forward to it.
Soma Union isn't being developed with a commercial release in mind (it will likely be a pay-what-you-want title) so right now my plans are to release the game on at least itch.io and RPGMaker.net, but the game may see a release on Steam as well.
