Beta 0.2 Releasing Thurs/Friday! (+Android) (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Got some pretty cool news to share, this month I will be releasing an update to Zombie's Retreat!  If you caught my last post, I did decide to split the update.  So this update won't have everything I was planning to add but I will continue with another release next month in May as well to readjust my personal schedule and keep things moving smoothly.

== Release Date ==

Beta 0.2 will be out by the end of this month for $5+ ZR2 Patrons.  I'm aiming for either Thursday or Friday.  The public release will be out that following Monday (May 3rd) as usual.

I don't have an exact date yet because this is sort of an open-ended update.  Since this update is split, there's not a solid 'end-point' that I have in mind.  I'm just trying to round out a lot more features and finally introduce some NSFW content that you all have been overly due for!  With Beta 0.2, the NSFW content will focus on Meredith.

As far as if it will release on Thursday or Friday?  I can't really say yet so I ask for your flexibility.  I'll release it when it's ready!

== Android ==

I keep getting swarmed with questions about the Android Release.  It should start coming out with Beta 0.2.  I decided not to release it during Beta 0.1 simply because there are a lot of initial steps I need to take and I wanted to make sure the PC version was functional first.  

Moving forward, the Android releases should start releasing simultaneously like they did with ZR1!

Thanks for your patience with this!

== Grid Menu ==

If you follow Town of Passion, you may recognize the menu system in this screenshot.

One of the cool things about working on multiple games is that sometimes I discover something in one game that can serve a crucial feature in another game.  In this instance, I discovered a beautiful menu plugin that perfectly solves a big dilemma I was having with The Grid.  

With multiple structures, the future ability to edit/rearrange stuff, etc, coming up with a menu system that intuitively shares that information to the player is more challenging than some may realize.  With this setup though, I can display various building projects, hide them until unlocked, grey them when already built, etc.  Finding this menu accomplishes a HUGE hurdle that I've been trying to tackle since the Alpha build.

From here, future updates will add more features & structures and then The Grid's functionality should really start taking off!  I'm pretty stoked about that.

That's about everything with this update!  Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you soon with the release of the next Zombie's Retreat 2 update, Beta 0.2! =D
