The Future of Daybreak Nightbreak

*fan art by my wonderful girlfriend <3

Hi everyone! Happy Anniversary week! 

For our first day of posts, I'll be going over some major plans I have for the next year for the game, just so we have a general time-line for what I'd like to get done by this time next year!

Before anything else, though, just a reminder to complete the Q&A's mentioned in the first post. There will be links to everything below this post.

Anyway, on to the point of this post today, the future!

First of all, I don't expect Chapter 2 to be finished by this time next year. There's a lot I'd like to do and I work full time, so I don't exactly have the luxury of an open schedule. However, I do know that both Eisheth and Tsumi will be returning pretty soon. They've been out of action for a long time now and one of my first goals for this year is bringing the family back together :'). Getting all of that together is likely what I'll be working on once I finish 95's short Personal Quest.

In terms of what else I have planned for the year: 
- Concluding Eisheth's side-story (which of course would coincide with Eisheth returning)
- Jodi's Personal Quest, which will include the introduction of Ian's new wife, who looks concerningly familiar (get that cuck beam ready)
- New locations for the business minigame, with advancements in Daniella's story
- A major side-mode at Chios College, making use of that new ability we got from Echo's Personal Quest, which will continue Jackie's story
- A Halloween & Holiday event
- A major Summer event, which will have all of the currently available Captivations joining you at a local beach resort
- Something for Azalia, Keli, Ellainia, Annabelle, and/or Stephanie, depending on how much time I have between everything above

That should be more than enough to fill out the year and I'm super excited to get working on everything! By the time we finish up Chapter 2, I'd like to have a Personal Quest for every Major Link (as well as a few important Side Links), so expect everyone on that screen to get a significant amount of content before the chapter ends. Right now, we have done both Sarah's and Echo's, but I'd like to get as many done this year as I can fit in.

I've also very recently floated the idea of making a few keychains to sell this year. My girlfriend was bugging me about drawing some chibi art of a few characters and we thought it'd be cute to have a few keychains of the more popular characters. I know I want them, but let me know if you'd be interested in that kind of thing. If there's enough people asking for it, I'll gladly do it.

That's about it for the extent of this next year. If you'd like to get an indication for content deeper in the future, I know where I'd like every character to be for the end of Chapter 2, I know what the Intermission between Chapter 2 & 3 will consist of, and I know where the end-state of Daybreak Nightbreak will be when the story hits its conclusion. That's many years out, though, so don't think I'm going anywhere yet.

I've also been asked by multiple people if I plan to make a second game in the Daybreak Nightbreak universe... and the answer is yes, although not until I'm completely finished with Daybreak Nightbreak! I don't want to be one of those devs who bounces between projects, then inevitably gives one up due to a lack of motivation, so I'm not touching any other major projects until this is done. I have multiple ideas floating in my head for what it would be, but I know it won't be a direct sequel. It may feature characters from Daybreak Nightbreak in it and it will take place after (and reference) the events of Daybreak Nightbreak, but the conclusion of the first game will be too definite to reasonably warrant a direct sequel.

That's all I've got for today, though! Just a reminder again about the Q&A's. The Developer Q&A is tomorrow, so if you'd like to ask me anything, make sure you fill out that form today!
