Now & Then Director's Cut 0.99.0 update 3 and release schedule

And here's the announcement so many of you have been patiently waiting for. Except that one guy on itch.io who spent a year pissing and moaning that he had to wait for the game to be "complete". Fuck that guy specifically. :)

There's not a lot left to say here. As you can see by the update notes below, this release fixes a lot of little things, while adding a bunch of new content throughout. New features. New endings. But, if you want to go into this blind, DO NOT look at the update notes. I'm sure there's some spoilers in there, even if it's just saying where new scenes are. 

Some fun facts: The Director's Cut has 1866 new or updated images and 128 new or updated animations. There is one animation and a few renders that got cut from the original game, due to minor changes. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but the DC also features 48,433 more words.

The Interim Domain 0.12.0: This build is pretty close to ready, so once N&TDC comes out, you'll be seeing a single update before the schedule release in early April. 

Here's the release schedule for 0.99.0 (all scheduled for 11:59 am EDT release):

Tier 3 - March 20, 2023
Tier 2 - March 22, 2023
Tier 1 - March 24, 2023
Public - March 25, 2023
