Hey all,

Got to go to a wedding today, and as always at this time of the bi-month, I'm swamped with work for the release, so this is going to be a quickie.

First up, the thing you all care about - the release is going fine and should be on time as usual (unless a piano gets dropped on my head). I have a good chunk of the events and have started coding them, and the rest should be turned in over the next few days. So far there's Whitescar, more Ophelia, and more Rowan and Andras, for those of you wondering. Art wise, I have shared all the sketches with the backers and am in the middle of sharing the finished ones. Sommy has just got a few left to finish rendering, and then do the variants, so no problems on that end. The new build will also have the scene replay gallery we added to Steam this month, so those of you who have been asking me for ages about it will be happy.

Looking forward what is next, we've cracked the issue we were having with making chaos incursions happen on specific tiles, so very soon in the future (perhaps even the release after this one), we'll be merging with the work we have been doing on the mechanics branch. This means chaos incursions will finally work as intended (as quests that send you out to the map), as well as add a few things Rein has been wanting to add mechanics wise for a while, along with an updated map with more portals for better navigation, and QoL and UI improvements.

That's all for today. I'll put the poll up now for those who have been waiting for it, and the new update will be out on the 28th, which is one week tomorrow.?
