Progress Report #28: July, 2022

Cliffhanger POV: A) "Is Caly in trouble?" or B) "Is she simply a cunning lass looking for an easy ride up the mountain?"

Folks o/

It's time, to make a confession. In short, we've been holding out on you. We kept July's progress updates a bit on the "hazy" side, on purpose. Though we made it no mystery that Henosis Overhaul patch is heading towards a public release in August,- what we kept under tight wraps was the fact that we had been stealthily working hard on adding extension content to it, and we're glad to report that said work on is now complete. In short:

• Henosis Overhaul public patch dropping soon!
• Henosis Overhaul's Content Update 1 "patron-only" patch dropping soonish!

For now however, lets quickly get you settled in this week's PR!

From the artist's desk comes the happy news that a major scenario has been fully rendered and ready to be shipped out. Caly and Haar taking a much needed R&R is something that mirrored the team's status this month, so we felt extra happy for the two taking some time off. Additionally, playable content in the casino got a bump as well with a new roulette mini-scene making its way into the upcoming patch. What awaits as a prize? You'll have to play to find out yourself!

The story writers also made significant strides with an influx of new quest related subjects. For example, Caly can now involve herself in a variety of side jobs, some leading to unique situations that might end up making Caly do things that aren't "professionally" part of her job description. If money making doesn't intrigue you and adventure is what you crave, fret not for there is a heist quest that has already been deployed and another one code-named "Parasite" in the works, but the team is keeping tight lid on the details about this one for now.

Finally, quite a few events are going into this patch, so programming the routes, interactions and deployment of multiple NPCs/assets and optimization have all taken priority once more. We're told that mini events like the ones in casino and arcade are going to be a bit of a challenge, but our coder is confident he will get it done right in time. We wish him and his patience, the best of luck.  

And that is all to it. Next time, if everything holds, we will make good on our plans and release the patch(es) as intended. Till then, we wish you well and thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,

Cursed-Atelier Team
