I've run into a few challenges since I've been opening new areas and introducing new NPCs. Given the game's open-world design, this can lead to a bunch of complications, especially regarding the sequence of storylines and character interactions and their interconnections.
I want to maintain the player's ability to unlock content in whichever order they like, but this flexibility does unfortunately have its drawbacks.
That said, I was able to fix most of the bugs I've encountered. and added polish to the scenes that I'd previously worked on.
I tend to avoid giving dates due to the often unpredictable nature of game development. but this time, I feel confident to say that you guys should expect an update within a week, or a little over a week at most.
This is also your heads up to inform you that I will not be pausing Patreon payment.
Thank you very much for your continued support, despite everything. It means a lot.
