Hello everyone.

I need to give a little update on the game progress.

There's good news and "bad" news.

The good one - those who wanted to get the continuation will probably get it a little earlier than the original release was planned.

The bad - the game will be released at the end of April, not as a full release, but in Early Access and will contain approximately 70-80% of the content from the final version. The full release will be approximately a month later.

The reason - I still can't manage to render everything, compile and translate it, plus implement the galleries and the mechanism for finding bonus renders by the appointed time. I've raised the render quality settings in the "old" unrendered scenes so that it can take 30 minutes or more for 1 render. And considering that while I'm compiling new scenes and animations – rendering is on hold, I only have about 8-10 hours for direct rendering. This is like 16-20 renders a day, which is very slow. To reconfigure the scenes - is time consuming and inefficient, each scene opens for a very long time due to the size of the libraries, it's easier to render as is. There are other reasons, but that's roughly it for now.

Another potentially good news is that Early Access on Steam is potentially (I hope) giving me the financial possibility to upgrade my computer and the process will go much faster in the future.

Such news, thank you all who are watching the project, for your support. Work is going approximately 16 hours a day, and renders are spinning at night. Haven't taken a day off for a couple of weeks for sure, because there's no time :) My head starts to boil, but I think we'll break through!

Stay tuned!
