Update 0.4.9.3a (Preview 2) | Current situation (Patreon)

Salutations, here’s what’s up:

The war against russian occupiers is still going on as you may know from the news. And while we’re certain in our victory, the amount of time it would require is as vague as our update release dates…

We've decided to stay in Ukraine and help our people in any way we can, that said, both of us are with our families in relative safety. We’re doing our best to get our lives to a relative normality, at least to some extent. But, as you can imagine, we have bigger things to worry about.

At the start of the war we saw some breakthrough tanks and APVs on the streets of our city, but our troops threw them out and an active war is about 40 km away for now. That is the kind of positive news we have right now.

Sitting in bomb shelter half of a day every day is our new normal.

Considering current conditions, having a proper work routine is hard, yet it is not impossible. So we remain optimistic and are moving forward with our plans, albeit, even slower than usual.

• Now, about game:

Since we are both lucky to have internet access, we continue our work. Slowly but steadily our next update is approaching its release, and it will be up as soon as we finish everything that we’ve promised to do.

This time you can check out a "second preview":

Click me (Mega) 

We’ve decided to release it for the same reasons as the last time - to show you that the work is going and in case we’ll lose internet access tomorrow.

This preview adds three new characters to the farm, all three of them can be customized to your liking. Eventually their customization will be unlockable via quests and events, but for the purposes of this preview you can temporarily just pick whatever you want from the start.

They are located right in front of the Barn in the Farm part of Vivarium location and their dialogue boxes are scrollable (there’s no indicator that they are atm.), stockings and collars are on random, everything else is pickable.

Those characters took a lot of time to make, but they are integral for our plan to produce updates quicker, since unlike Kira, they have limited amounts of layers and their individual events can be produced faster.

They are also a part of our new repeatable event and their customization will be reflected in that event fully, which is what we’re currently working on.

Every positive comment boosts our morale and shows that the whole world is behind us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for your support and kind words in these dire times, we truly do appreciate it!
