v0.53.0 Game Status

Evening all, time for our first release of the month! As promised we have some new epilogues tonight, finishing off the remaining departments, and special scenes for Grunt and Piledriver for those of you who like to hang with the boys.

We've also got some new art in tonight - the last endgame CG, as well as a Hellfire CG set to fill in a gap that's been sitting around for a bit (the male Overseer variants of this scene have already had art for a while). Additionally, while I was looking at our graphics I noticed that some weren't properly set up to be compressible. I've corrected those, dropping the build size from about 600 MB to 500, even with the new art added in this release.

From here on out all of the remaining content is Specialist epilogues, and I'll be aiming to get about three more in for our second release this month. I'm also keeping our artists busy with a few last items, picking off a few more Citizen encounter scenes from the list, but we're quite close to wrapping up our art work as well. Til then, patch notes are below, and game links to follow. Enjoy!
