COVID strikes Stone Fox. Kentyrr was introduced to the pandemic a short while ago, they hit it off, and now they're a couple!

While this may seem like bad news, it's a mild case, and he's been quarantined. With his art rig, This means he's been tearing through scenes at a faster pace, though we try to make sure he doesn't overdo it and gets plenty of rest.

Beta 1 feedback was very positive, and we've incorporated a few changes based on feedback, but nothing that adds significantly to the remaining work.

We did find an issue with the Erica model that forced us to adjust and re-render almost 300 images, but thankfully it took longer to make the adjustments than it did to actually cook them. That's in the rearview mirror now.

With the release of the Genesis 8.1 female models, we have updated all major female characters to the new assets, and they will be rendered as such through the last few scenes of Chapter 1. Thankfully, the differences aren't so noticeable that this will be jarring.

Once again, the script called for something existing assets could not provide, so we had to enlist Puggy again to give us a Snowmobile with two seats (see above.)

Sound is mostly complete now, and the phone system is fully-implemented and should look (and sound) pretty familiar to those partial to a specific brand. ("Parody", trademark lawyers!)

Once we see how much of the remaining art Kentyrr is able to knock out while he's in Quarantine, we'll be able to project a specific release day. Look for that in the next update!

Stay safe, healthy, and warm!
