Rendering and postwork is complete, and I'm coding and testing the update. If your tier includes a name in credits and you want to take this up, please let me know as soon as possible.

This update has approximately 1.5k renders, most of which are dedicated to the pool scene. Additional post work was needed to tidy up the water effects, including fixing 'glow-in-the-dark' type artifacts from wet textures on clothing.

The update starts immediately upon leaving Maria's house. If you've accepted the supermarket job (available on Saturday), you'll have the option to help Mr. Adams (spending time with his wife, Lauren, in the warehouse) or help Kimberley with a lifeguard evaluation. If you don't have the supermarket job, you'll automatically help Kimberley.

This type of process will become more common as we advance. Rather than having at least three options, with one having a prerequisite dependency, there will be an automatic choice if that prerequisite isn't met.

I was surprised by the outcome of the recent poll, with Music and Translations scoring the lowest. These are the two topics I receive the most direct messages about. It's nice to get an understanding from a wider audience.

Those who selected Animations will hopefully get something they like in the update, as there are two animations. While these are short, they are a starting point for getting feedback.

Walkthrough guides were the highest-voted option, and I will look at what I can put together for you all. Any such guide would likely include spoilers to help explain a particular option rather than just blindly saying click here, select that, etc.
