Hey all,

As some of you may have noticed, I made some more animations. Although, in my defense, one was a reshoot, but I eventually decided that the original wasn't scuffed enough to be excluded from the game, so I added both versions for people to switch between. If I've learned anything this week, it's that I'm going to stop claiming to be "done with all the animations" until I'm 100%, without a doubt, finished with them!

Still, I was able to get some large chunks of scripting finished, I added another big lore section for people to peruse, and I've been testing and refining all the scenes I could get my hands on. Mainly scenes 2 and 6, but I was able to make a quick run through 4 and 5 as well. 

As far as development, that's all there is to report this week; however, I've been giving a lot of thought to the beta testing process, and I think that, at least for this release, I have a plan that should work for me without being too complicated. There are a couple of basic qualifiers for those who are interested, but these are things that people should think about going forward, rather than trying to rush to complete them before this release.

1. You must be/have been a Mithril tier member for at least one month since the last release.
-The longer the better, but I'm not trying to milk people for money, so one month is enough.

2. Must be (relatively) active and engaged with the community and post.
-I don't expect social butterflies, but if I don't even recognize your screen name...

There are more qualifiers, but those are for me to know. I already have a shortlist in mind for this release, and those people will be getting messages when the time comes.  However, the list may expand if needed.

I'm sorry that my life is a mess and this release is taking so much longer than I'd like, but we're in the final stretch and you won't have to wait much longer at all! Hang in there!

Much love!
JB
