How much reveal?


I'll be honest, I'm totally excited to show everything that is happening with the development of this VN, but I'm also very wary about timing. I already have several amazing looking backgrounds, an almost completed range of character sprites (only 1 more main character to go!), some of the starship art, and even one of the CG scenes, which looks fantastic and is beyond my expectations. But how much should I really share with everyone online? Advertising wisdom suggests sneak peaks, but not full disclosure yet. The game is so far from being complete—Fall 2019 at the earliest—that I don't want to reveal much now and then lose the enthusiasm that has started to resonate for this game. I want people to play the game when it releases without having seen all these amazing scenes already. So I'm honestly struggling to decide how much to show. I guess opinions depend on personality, too: I was the kid who asked my parents where they were hiding my Christmas presents so that I wouldn't accidentally discover them—and I waited until Christmas, because I love surprises. My little sister, however...So, what type are you, and how much would you like to see?
