Sexbot II: Recalibrated - 2.00_beta

*Links updated, separated into PC and Mac, first round of bugs fixed

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for all your support with the Steam release, whether it was wishlisting, retweeting, purchasing, or anything. You helped make the release a success! Thank you again.

I have officially changed the name of the sequel game to "Sexbot II: Recalibrated". Hopefully this makes it abundantly clear it is in fact a sequel.

This is the first real release of SBR (or SB2?) that has a good amount of content. Starting a new game like this, the hard part is getting environments, lighting, character model and outfits, all looking the way I want them, and consistent through the scenes. Now that most of that is sorted out, it's incredibly fun making scenes again. I am including the entirety of the changelog for this update as well as the changelog, because there are so many new things, I want to make sure you have a reference.

For those of you who did not see what Sexbot looked like in the early days, it would shock you. While I have a much better handle on starting SB2, please know, things can and will change. I will shuffle scenes, reorganize, cut, add and do whatever else I need to do during the development to make the game as awesome as I am able to make it. Primary reason for this, is the time loop is not established yet, and yes, it is coming back in this game (that's kind of the series' thing).

Please give feedback freely, politely, and constructively. The best place to do so is on the Discord in the #beta-testers channel. There will be a thread for #bugs and #typos. Please avoid spoilers in general chat areas for others.

I hope you enjoy the game, and as always, thank you so much for your continued support!
