About update:

Overall, the development is going well. I'm running about 2-3 days behind schedule, but I'm confident I can catch up, just like usual.

Right now, I've completed around 70-75% of the planned work.

The roughly scheduled release date for 1.3.5 update is the second half of October.

About November:

Speaking of November, UoP is turning 3 years old at the beginning of the month!

It's a significant milestone for me, so I'm planning to finish up the 1.3.5 update by the end of October and then take a couple of weeks off. During the remaining weeks leading up to December, instead of working on the regular update, I'll be dedicating my time to creating special events to celebrate the 3-year anniversary and possibly some content for the upcoming Christmas/New Year season. These special events will be part of a special update at the end of November.

I'll be posting an announcement with all the details on this topic, so stay tuned for more information!

About the v1.3.5 update's content

1) Events:

• 1 event with Rachel -- 100% complete
• 1 event with Roxy + the first appearance of Laura -- 100% complete
• 1 event with Kim -- 100% complete
• 1 event with Sara (Sara + Ashley) -- 100% complete
• 1 additional event with Ashley -- 100% complete
• 1 additional event with Nikki -- 30% complete

Also, my plans for the 1.3.5 update include:

• Another event with Rachel and one main event are still in the plans.

The voting for the additional events was a bit tricky this time since we ended up with three winners: Ashley (37%), Nikki (21%), and Roxy (20%). Roxy may have lost by just one percent, but I felt she deserved some extra attention. So, as a fair compromise, Ashley and Nikki, as the top winners, will each get one additional event, while Roxy will receive some expansion to her originally planned event. It's a way to give each character their due.

2) Renders and animations:

824 renders and 12 animations are ready -- Roughly planned: 1000-1200 renders and 8-10 animations

3) Other things:

• some bug fixes
