Dev Diary 102

Howdy everyone! GIL here.

I'm happy to announce the beta build was handed to our playtester crew today. If things go smoothly and no major problems are detected, we'll probably have an early release build ready by this weekend. It's a wide update with a lot of different paths and variables, so here's hoping that doesn't give our brave proofreaders too much trouble. Expect an official release dates post in a couple of days.

It's really hard to sit idle while the final stretch of polish happens, so I figured I wouldn't. I used this time to perfect a couple of minor details in the current update, and when that was done, I decided to continue the prologue remake I timidly started before 4.5 hit the shelves. Rosalind's first encounter with [Edwin] at the club will be completely remade by the time you get your hands on the new build! Still some work to be done, but it's looking pretty good if I may say so myself. I tried to preserve the framing and flow of the scene almost to a 1:1, but there will be some new animations in there. TD told me he might rework the text some, so there's that too.

As always, thank you all so much for supporting us. You all make the dream happen. The goods will arrive soon enough!
