Progress Report | September (Patreon)

Hey everyone!  I've got one last progress report for this month.  Let's talk more about the upcoming release of Zombie's Retreat 2 - Beta 0.9.

== September Release ==

As development of this update progresses, it's becoming more evident that I won't be able to have it complete in August.  Between the new story, maps, bosses, and mechanics, this is shaping up to be a pretty busy update.

Beta 0.9 is planned for release in September.  I'm going to refrain from announcing exact dates still but I do hope you all find it to be worth the extended wait.  My apologies for those looking forward to playing 0.9 this month.  I was hoping I could pull it off but in order to not rush things, I'll need a little more time.  Thank you for understanding!

ICYMI- in the last progress report, I announced that ZR2 will be receiving a Halloween/October update.  So with this update being pushed back, that means there will be back to back ZR2 updates in Sept/Oct!

== Colosseum ==

I want to avoid talking about the new update contents in too much detail to avoid spoilers.  But one of the new features in this update is the establishing of a Colosseum.  Currently, there's only one tournament that is being developed but in future updates, I would like to add more difficult tournaments.

My primary goal with this new feature is to eventually add some post game fights that could feature special crossovers and/or just brutally difficult boss patterns.

The Colosseum should offer some enjoyment for those who like a challenge.  Most/all tournaments will probably offer NSFW rewards too so I hope you look forward to this feature as it grows in future updates!

== Melee ==

Melee combat is returning.  

Disclaimer: I'm still experimenting with some different ideas so it might be a little different than ZR1

That's everything for this news!  My apologies again to those who were hoping for a late August release.  I'm hoping to make this update well worth the extended wait.

As always, thank you all so much for your patience and support!  The next news update will likely be the release date announcement so I look forward to sharing that with you all soon! =D
