We've been able to finish 0.53 this month without delays.
It is focused on Max and Lisa's adventures in the medical office with Zoe.
Size-wise, it's about the same as our usual update. Or 0.52.1 or 0.52.2.
The new events require certain progress in the Karen quest, after which Lisa will periodically ask Max if he wants to go to the medical office somewhere between 14:30 and 15:50. Every other day or so. If Max turns her down, she'll leave him alone for several days. As usual, the invites will become less common once you go through the unique events and if Max turns her down, she'll leave him alone for about two weeks.
New feature

As we've mentioned in one of our previous posts, we've implemented a quest log change. From now on, unlocking new steps in the quest log is marked with a small indicator on the quest log icon.

If you open the quest log, it will display which quests have unlocked new steps. The indicator goes away once you read the new quest log entry. This feature is especially useful at the start of a play through when you unlock a bunch of quests early on and for whenever you get stuck.
We're also planning to implement a UI element that would tell you the percentage (including decimals) of your total progress. It will help the players to learn if they've unlocked all content or if there's still something to do. It will also help new players with understanding the scope of the game.
Now that 0.53 is done, we're starting our work on 0.54. We're aiming to release it in December. We will discuss it in more detail in the future.
Have a good time, everyone!
