In case the headline worries you - I'm not doing it immediately.
To make sure each pup (and cat) gets the attention they deserve, I'm closing off all new applications to the Dog Devotee and Cat Conspirator tiers in two weeks. About 1 month after that, I won't be able to accept any further pet pictures from patrons (even if you're entitled to it!), for the sake of the game getting finished in time.
What that means for y'all at the relevant patron tiers is that if you haven't sent me your pet picture and release form yet, you need to do so AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Even if you haven't hit your 3-month threshold yet! I trust that y'all are good for it. There is sincerely, nothing more that I want than for your Very Good Pup and/or Cat to be in the game. Also, I can track whether you fulfill our pact, so - no worries on this end. I am in No Worry City. Population: me.
okay, that burst of confidence lasted for about 20 seconds. my apologies.
In other news - the headline picture of this update is a screenshot of an in-game cinematic sequence! We've got those, somehow!! You'll see this in the next build of the game, which is coming very soon. Meeting your fiancee while overlooking the Marinara Trench, you'll talk about your future together, and the ocean of blood potentially flowing beneath your feet, because we have fun here.
As always, thank you for your support. Somehow, a game about alien airports run by dogs is coming to PC & consoles this year - and that's in large part due to y'all.

Speaking of things coming in the next game update: more stores! There is a dog who sells flowers who I am especially fond of, and I can't wait for y'all to meet him.
