I'll start off by saying there's a slight change of plan in V0.7's release schedule. I was aiming to get it out publicly just before Christmas, but unfortunately that's unlikely to happen. I have a lot of things going on at the moment, so rushing to get the update out before Christmas is just an extra stress I'd prefer to avoid. I don't want to put out a rushed update that's not up to the quality I'm happy with.
That's the bad news. The good news is that progress is going quite well. The next beta will be out in a week or two, with the supporter release taking the new slot of "sometime before Christmas". Although, that's just the plan, it's not set in stone.
I've had quite a lot of fun with this update, as storylines are progressing in fun ways. There's a fun joint scene with Amber and Amy, a leap forward Claire, and some serious progress on the whole Lyra situation. It's going to be a good update story wise, even if it's a little later than planned.
I've not had the chance to add as much side content as I would have liked. I'm considering potentially having an update sometime soon where the main characters all only get one scene each, but I add a whole load of side content instead. Not sure on that one though, it's something I will poll at a later date.
