This post was made back when I first hit 1k downloads. Now, just 4 months later, I'm at 5k and I couldn't be happier! I'm so glad so many people are playing the game and liking it just... Augh it brings me so much joy!

Anyways, I know its been a while since the last update but I have some great news that I.C.O. 0.4 is in its sound and music stages which shouldn't take too long! That's right we're really close to 0.4! The person who creates the I.C.O. roars, KsoundKaiju, has told me the roars won't be ready for another week, however. Worry not that I intend to release 0.4 regardless of if the roars are completed simply because its been so long. 

Now, I've been toying with the idea of a Patreon for a long while now and given how I want to expand on the project more, I think it might be a good time to set one up soon. Especially because I've been talking to an animator who could potentially add even more dynamic flourishes to I.C.O.'s visuals. Currently, I have a basic skeleton down and I intend to drop it when 0.4 drops so I have more than enough time to work out the kinks and make sure it has a successful launch.

These are what I currently have down and the plan is that Patrons are able to see W.I.P. backgrounds and CGs with the highest tier being able to play the demo builds which are somewhat unfinished but has more than enough to make solid critiques on. I'm new to Patreon so I need as much guidance as I can get regarding this so if any of you wonderful people are able to give me advice on how to make it as successful as possible, please tell me. 

Anyways, thanks so much for 5,000 downloads and I hope to see you REAL soon when 0.4 finally gets dropped! THANKS <3
