v0.46.1 Game Status (Patreon)

Evening all, it's time for our second release of the month! Not a particularly spooky one, I'm afraid, but if it helps, just imagine that there's a jump scare waiting behind every button click.

I didn't get as far as I was hoping with Director scene updates this cycle, but the good news is that's partially because we did get in the final set of mission background assets, and I spent some time getting those in the game instead. This is, in fact, the final bit of background art for the game - we'll still be working on CGs and such, but the task of 'keep the player from walking through the void of space' is now 100% checked off. We also have a new Specialist CG in, with Hummer's special film debut scene, leaving just one item left on my 'have at least one CG for every Specialist' task.

The next free release and State of the Game post are currently planned for Monday night, so I'll talk more about November plans in a few days, but I can say that I expect the midgame development phase to be completed next month, and it's just a question of whether it will all be wrapped up by the mid-month release or not. For now, patch notes below, game links to follow, and enjoy your Halloween!
