Changelog Summary

This update focuses on more visual upgrades, including better MC model customization and new animations for MC/NPCs.

Check out the changelog below:

• Avatar customization: Your character's 3D model now reflects hairstyle changes (which are still a WIP, obviously!), and you can change between body types!  
• New animations: That's right, NPCs now finally feature animations in dialogue! MC also now (optionally) goes full badass beating the casino door down. There will be more animations added in the future.
• Convo edits/updates: Some new dialogue snippets and edits!
• More bugfixes: Various minor issues for dialogue/story progression/mechanics etc. have been fixed.

(Note: Should you get stuck at any point in the main quest, please ping Dovah in the Discord server for a hint!)

Next Month's Update

So what's up on the agenda for October?

More polish! We're hoping to release a public demo on Steam very soon. 

However, work on RE:P will unfortunately see a slow-down in the near future, as its development has become unsustainable for us. Our revenue from games is not sufficient to support full-time development work for our designer, and our programmer is focusing primarily on their Ph.D. 

Hopefully, we can keep making progress on RE:P and eventually see it to completion. We are planning to adjust Patreon so so that a one-time pledge at $10 will allow access to current and all future updates (including the final game) without requiring you to remain pledged. (If you've already pledged at the $5 tier, you will still have access!) We may disable the Patreon indefinitely, or at least between updates.

Throne Content Submission:

For our Throne patrons: Make sure to submit your design suggestions for next month in the sheet or on Discord to be polled on!
