Blackouts, Playtest Build, and Print Premiums.

Added 2023-03-16 00:21:30 +0000 UTC

This update is unfortunately late, due to a blackout that occurred in our neighborhood last night that kept us in the dark for about four hours.

This blackout also prevented us from releasing the stripped-down version of PI to our playtesters. We were finally able to get the build finished about an hour ago, but we're still waiting for it to arrive on the server.

We're not releasing this as an "Alpha" because several systems are currently in transition, and we temporarily deactivated a lot of the visual effects to ensure that everything ran a bit more swiftly. This was done to prevent issues related to framedrops occurring during testing.

That having been said: We told the playtesters to give us a full week before submitting their reports, which gives us time:

I can tackle our issues with runtime-spawned colliders.

Laura can place the final Beta outdoor props

Lance can work on work on the remaining systems.

And we can ALL figure out how to optimize things.

We temporarily ran out of print premiums, and a new print run has been ordered.
