I foolishly thought I had a solid plan for what the rest of PROVIDER's development was gonna look like. Turns out is was wrong. 

We ended up shuffling things a bit. The Toxic Zone (previously Episode 8, now Episode 9) has been pushed back a bit, and we're working on adding a new final monster-of-the-week episode, this time set in North-West Alaska, centering around Project Chariot. It's going to be interesting and based on actual history.

Unfortunately it also means that the release of Episode 8 is going to take a few more days, so we're looking more like a release on April 20 or 21 depening on how smoothly the development goes. 

Anyway, look forward to that, or don't, that's totally up to you.


Thanks,

One of the cool things about PROVIDER has been building the game episodically. Apart from the first month or so of building the bare essentials of the game, each episode has been essentially written and implemented in order. The good part of that, is that we can go from "This is a cool idea for an area" to "This area is complete" in just a few days. It's really fun, but also leaves the narrative a bit fragmented, and makes it hard to get a complete picture of the world and narrative.

Unfortunately, we're also planning on having a sort of 3-4 episode arc for the end of PROVIDER. These are episodes that are essentially intended to be played all together. Brightside is PROVIDER's first story is coming to an end (and a pretty cool end if I say so myself) downside is after the next update, we're not going to be updating again until we've finished the last 3-4 episodes.
Episode 8 (the Toxic Zone) will be up and available April 14, but after that we're not going to be releasing any new episodes until May at the earliest.
​
So, long story short, we're finishing up our Episode 8 Update, after which, we'll be going quiet on updates until, all at once, Episode 9-10-11-12 all drop at once in late-May or June.
As with everything PROVIDER, this could change at nearly any time, but we'll do our best to be up-front about any delays and keep everyone clued in on why and when they're happening.

This is a mostly boring post about development and other boring things, so please also enjoy this GIF of a trash disposal mech for Episode 8

And also here's a GIF of one of the new Episode 8 hazards. It's kinda gross. . .
