Hi folks o/

It's time to wrap up this month's progress update, and though we make cannot make any promises(yet), lets just say things are shaping up nicely all around, making a near future release of the initial patch, a very real possibility. On that positive, albeit a bit vague note, lets dive into it.

Work on various new dungeons is now finally in the endgame. If only we could describe or demonstrate what a harrowing experience implementing the new graphics, the lightning texture, the amount of clicking and swiping and crashing.., but in the end it was worth it. All that is left now is placing the NPCs with their events and inserting the relevant dialogues which, we're happy to report, should be implemented by the time this post gets floated.

Something else we never talked much about in our reports, are the explicit contents that will be part of the upcoming update(s). As you know, we'll be carving out the patch in installments and in context to the sexual content, it's still undecided exactly how the devs plan to implement it and to what degree. However, one thing is sure; a multitude of events are planned, the art for which is on our artist's checklist and is slowly being churned out every few days. We do apologize once more about the whole "one dev doing three things", as it really slows down the output on all fronts. What will be and what not, will probably end up being decided at the last minute after the team's bugs and roadmap discussions. 

Finally, on the game-play side of things, some of our biggest hurdles have been demolished with work on new bosses and diverse new enemies, passing evaluation. Though tester feedback is still awaited, it's expected that the new foes will bring a new mix of challenge into VoidBound's combat play. Hopefully, we'll be able to make a footage, of the new action alongside the new skill overhaul once it's cleared and inserted into the game, for you before the patch is released. 

That pretty much covers it all for this week. As usual, please refer to the report attached for specific details about the update. Next up, we'll be floating patron their rewards, so to the rest of our fans, we'll see you in the Progress Report next month!

Thanks you for your time o/

Kind Regards,
