Hey everyone, it's BrickZed again and this devlog is going to be huge compared to the last few, so buckle up!

Silverstone: The Morning After

So, the Silverstone: The Morning After update is going slowly but surely. I'm going to be taking a break today after the chaos from the past few days (see below), but after that, it will be a grind to finish the update. I plan for the update to officially launch AUGUST 20, 2024, although this could potentially be pushed to the 27th (also see below).

Script is coming along nicely, and after that it will mostly just be programming and getting more backgrounds. Overall, not much news on the update again. Sorry, everyone! But there's an important reason for it...

It All Leads Back to The Lighthouse...

Build 1 "Friends Will Be Friends" is launching December of this year! Some of the prologue has already been written and I'm now gathering assets and building the "Silver Strides Team." Currently it is myself (Creator, Programmer, Writer, and some other stuff) and the amazing LuzzLynx, who is working on the sprites. Socials have also launch and you can find us on Twitter and Bluesky! As seen above, we also have a YouTube that will post trailers and promotional videos.

We are still VERY early in development, though. Writing will be the easy part since Silverstone has been a thing since 2021, but Luzz is currently making the sprites (which look fantastic!) and I'm figuring out UI stuff.

The page for Silverstone is currently NOT UP and won't launch until December, so please follow this account or any of the others for updates! Once Luzz is done with the sprites, we'll also be revealing the characters on Twitter and Bluesky so stay tuned! We're also gonna hiring people to take care of other aspects of the game (CGs, music, editing, etc etc) so look out for new people joining the team!

And finally, there's one more thing to announce!

The Patreon for Silverstone Has Officially Launched!

If you want to support myself and the others joining the project in the future, click the image below to be taken straight to our Patreon!

There are three tiers (Tourist ($1), Resident ($3), Spectre ($5)) with several rewards each, so choose the one you're most comfortable with and want to get content for!

FULL GAME UPON RELEASE: What it says on the tin.

ACCESS TO NEW SILVERSTONE UPDATES ONE WEEK EARLY: Patrons will get new updates a week earlier than the public. Note, these could have bugs/mistakes that weren't caught. We ask to wait to share these builds until the public release. Build 1 will launch at the same time for both.

NAME IN CREDITS: Patrons will get their name in the credits for helping the production.

ACCESS TO COMPLETE SILVERSTONE SOUNDTRACK UPON RELEASE: Resident and up Patrons will receive HQ files of the original soundtrack upon the game's release.

ACCESS TO PREVIEWS OF NEW CHARACTER ART AND CGs: Minus the main cast, Patrons Resident and up will get sneak peeks at new character sprites and CGs.

EARLY ACCESS TO SIDE STORIES WRITTEN BY THE TEAM: Spectre tier Patrons will receive access to side stories canon to Silverstone. This will be made public later on, but will be given to Patrons upon a character route's end.

ACCESS TO VOTING: Spectre tier Patrons will be able to decide whose side story they want to see. Voting starts upon the first half of a Chapter 4 release.

All money goes towards paying artists and team members, so please consider becoming a Patron!

Aaaaaaand that's it! I hope you all have a good day and hopefully the next time I write here will be when the update is out! Until then, have a good one!
