Progress Report | Beta 0.12 | Jessie & Rachel | 2023 Plans (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

2023 has quite a lot planned for Zombie's Retreat 2 and other related projects.  So I wanted to take some time to talk about some of those things.  Let's get into it!

== Beta 0.12 ==

The next update to Zombie's Retreat 2 is well underway and will focus on Nadia!  The sweet older sister desperate to save her younger brother.  Considering all that's gone on in the city, is he really still okay?

I'll talk a little bit more about this update in a dedicated post, probably next up after today's post!  But I hope you're looking forward to seeing what's in store!

== Character Showdown Results ==

The third character showdown tournament finished up recently!  If you aren't aware, there's a community-run tournament that pits every character from each of the games I've worked on against each other to see who is the most popular character.

The first two winners were Leslie (ZR1) and Meredith (ZR2).  Zombie's Retreat gets a lot of love during these tournaments!  In Beta 0.13, the update after this Nadia one, I plan to FINALLY add a special NSFW for both Leslie & Meredith.  Yes, this means Zombie's Retreat 1 will be updated this year!

However, the winner of this third tournament was a tie between Rachel and Jessie, both from ZR1!  Normally I'd settle it with a tie break but instead, I figured I'd honor both as the winner this time around.  Their special scenes will be coming later.  But I do plan to have those added by the end of this year.

I hope you'll like the little twist that these character showdown scenes should have!

== 2023 New Game | Short Pause ==

Don't panic!

But at some point in 2023, ZR2 might take a short pause (1-2 months) from the development side.

The reason for this is because there is a smaller game project that has been in progress for about 2/3 years now.  The art has been completed years ago but I just simply don't have the time to work on it.  So this year, I will be dedicating some time to finishing this game.

The reason why I'll pause ZR2 is because it's actually in the same world and the artist is the same as well.  So ZR fans should still be getting their fix of juicy and beautiful ladies with this game!  ZR2 Patron rewards will likely tie into this game as well.

Art will still be continuing during this short pause which will help ZR2 stay ahead of schedule.

I'll talk about this more when the time gets closer as well as officially reveal the project probably sometime around spring 👒

There's also a small chance I'm able to juggle both this new project and ZR2 at the same time so maybe a pause won't be necessary.  We'll see!

======

That's everything for this progress report.  A bit of an info drop but as I said, 2023 has a lot of exciting things planned!

Thank you all so much for playing Zombie's Retreat 2!  I'll see you soon with a proper first look at Beta 0.12!
