Over the weekend, Chucklefish CEO/Designer Finn Brice - AKA Tiyuri - received a little bit of backlash after providing a 'non-update' update (as some called it) on his Twitter. In response, Brice took to Reddit to give us a bare-bones summary of what this situation is like on their end.

After the original Tweet was met with a mixture of positive and more negative responses, Brice then took to Reddit to push the info-train a little further.

"Realistically we're trying to get it to everyone as soon as we can, there are a few things involved in that process. First the game has to pass through lot check, a process that is out of our hands and essentially takes as long as it takes. Second, we have to ensure we get a release slot agreement from all parties involved."

"So far lot check is looking really good, nothing has come up that needs fixing. Does that mean it absolutely won't? No, because otherwise we'd be picking a release window already. But it's a very good sign and that's all I was trying to convey to people, as part of my promise to keep everyone up to date."

Check out the full post here, and we'll keep you updated as per usual.
