Hello, hello! Today I saw a video that shows that our solar system is actually quite unique and is in the lower percentiles of probability. Does that mean we’re actually special and not some average planet, orbiting an average sun, on an average solar system? Could that mean that we’re really alone, or at the very least we’re early? Humanity is the Firstborn of our reality perhaps? Naaah! The moon is clearly an alien observation station and we’re a zoo. Wake up sheeple!

Now onto serious matters. As Banshee and I have spoken before, we have been working on Rise for the past three years, and we take some breaks here and there, but truth be told we’re feeling quite burned out by the constant repetition of it all. At the same time, we can’t just stop and take an extended break, this is our job and you’re all our bosses so we owe it to you all to keep going. This is why we arrived at a solution that, while not perfect, we think is a fair compromise. 

We’ll be going to stop working on Rise for a few weeks, and work on a prototype for our next game. We want to keep the narrative experience you’ve come to expect from us, but also add elements of gameplay, chiefly a combat system. So we’ll work on a few concepts, create a working combat system, and then release our work to you all. That keeps us working while we can take a break from Rise, gives us time to properly test our new combat system for the new game, and allows us to get back to Rise at the end of it all ready to travel the last mile! 

Anyway, we hope you won’t be too mad at us for taking this break, we promise that it’ll help us raise the quality of both Rise and our next game as well, so please indulge us this time! And now we would like to thank you all so so much for continuing to stick with us in this long lewd journey called Necro Bunny. Oh, and that reminds me! I'm not sure if y'all will be as hyped as Banshee is for this, but we'll finally have bunny girls on this new project! Woo!!

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next Monday for another dev blog. Until then,

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!
