INFO DUMP: Beta 0.5 First Look! || ZR1 || Secret Project (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Got a bunch of different things to chat about today so I'm gonna just info dump today.

== Beta 0.5 ==

The next ZR2 update is going to be another fairly diverse update.

The main goal/focus is to fix up some older content that hasn't been properly implemented:

1: Stacy's Diner.  Functional milkshake system + the first Stacy scene getting properly added

2: Meredith's new scene getting properly added

From there, the other plan is to add the first NSFW scene for Olivia!  This scene will be the first one not taking place inside The Grid.  Personally, I find the added danger of certain scenes makes them a little more exciting and I plan to add several more in the future! ;)

More scenes or new characters may also be added in this update if everything else is completed within a smooth time frame.

Lastly, I'm going to start working on another new district.  I'm running into an issue where so many characters will need sidequests & the current East & West Districts are simply too small to incorporate all of those ideas.  I want to add other major buildings like a Hospital and/or School so new districts will eventually contain these. 

== ZR1 Update ==

Recently on Discord, a few ZR1 bugs were reported to me so I went back and fixed those up.  One of these bugs actually affects the lore in the PC terminals in the Power Plant and that's incredibly important moving forward into ZR2.  

I'm not sure when I'll have this update out but I will make a short little post about it either on here or on my Twitter page when it's ready.  I have to re-port the game to Mac which is... *shudders*

== Secret Project ==

Originally, I was really hoping to surprise you all with a secret project/game that I wanted to drop before Halloween.  It's been a fairly sparse background project for over a year now but I've just recently starting making time to physically develop it.  

Unfortunately (Is this actually bad news?) the game may be a little more in depth than I was originally planning so a surprise drop this month won't be feasible.  But now that the ball has gotten rolling, I'm setting a goal of a Spring/Summer 2022 release.  It's incredibly uncertain though as this game is a much lower priority in development time.  

This secret project is tied to the ZR2 lore/universe so the timing of it's release will be important and playing this game, while not crucial to the ZR2 main plot, may connect some dots.

I'm announcing this just to make it clear that sometimes my attention will be a little divided but it's all to help build a bigger picture to ZR2.  ZR2 updates are still the main priority though so don't worry about any major delays occurring for the main game due to this project.

An official announcement of this game should drop sometime early next year!

Beware.... 👒

That's everything for this update!  I'll see you soon with some more NSFW teasers as well as a release window for Beta 0.5!  Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you all soon =D
