Hi everyone,

Whew, that was one hell of a past week. A major milestone was crossed with our game's recent STEAM page release and the whole thing had our team on edge with excitement. We thank you all who came together with us(erm- no pun intended) for this event and graced us with their well wishes!

With that out of the way, lets talk development!

Gen's Bad End route is coming along nicely. We've done a round of feedback and some delays have unfortunately crept in. However, we anticipate making up lost time during the line art phase and once cleared, will start pouring the colors on. With events and map work already finished, once ready, the finalized CG work will be inserted quite swiftly.

Separately, all of the maps and related artwork for the new Introduction has been completed! Once Gen's route assets are done, the artist plans to go over the entire thing one last time to make sure no graphical goofs remain.

Drafting of the nitty gritty for Gen's bad end. In this scene, our heroine Caly realizes that while Gen is kind of the shy type, he has many ideas on how to show a girl a 'good' time when they cross him. Though the definition of the word "good" might be vastly different for Gen, and Caly might not appreciate it in the same sentiment.

Short Bounty Hunt Concept: Henosis is an amazing place with many different people. The problem is, sometimes these people turn to a criminal lifestyle. The good news for Caly is that means easy (or hard) jobs for easy credits. Maybe enough to get some new mods for her blaster. Side activities are a fun way to blow off the steam and pressure of the main quest to avail your planet.

Our coder reports all finished maps are now in the game engine alongside their respective events. He still awaits the finalized CG works, but we have begun interim quality checks to make sure all fixes noted in previous weeks have been implemented. This means we can kick off internal testing of the entire patch soonish as we want to hunt down all the bugs to make sure when people get their hands on the new content, everything runs smoothly.

And that is our weekly highlights for this one! The patch is shaping up nicely as the team burns the candle on both ends to bring it to your hands as soon as its ready!

Till then though, take care and we'll see you in the next one!

Regards,

Cursed-Atelier Team
