No, but some of the other side-characters will be LI's like "Tara", and mains could cameo, and could not be, we do not know the full scope.

No she doesn't. All they have in common is blonde long hair.

Along with a similar face structure that Erika would have had when she was younger and the same makeup.

Ah yes, the same makeup. Mascara and pink lipstick. Truly a unique combination for blonde white girls. They're identical.

FireBreak Dev Update #1
There it is, finally, what you've been waiting for!
It's been a pretty crazy month as our workflows tighten up and we are starting to see the first chapter beginning to come together (Giggity!)
In order to ensure Kent wasn't idle, I opted to get him started on a bunch of content so I can finish reworking the broken bits of Chasing Sunsets in the background, and that's something I've slowly but surely been making progress on.
As of today, we are approximately 500 images into the introductory chapter of Firebreak, and the base framework for the game is beginning to take shape.
Music selection is ongoing with several great pieces already selected. As always, the title track is the most challenging, because you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Workflow issues linger with the transition into DAZ 2025. Nothing that's adding too many headaches, but things we have to work around all the same. One of the downsides is that it's harder to have the renders finish "when they're done," so we have to set static render settings. What this means is that most images take between 20-45m each as we set their iterations in batches designed to minimize graininess. This has the advantage of ensuring the output has a consistent quality, but it keeps the art cooking in the queue probably longer than strictly necessary for many images.
All in all the more things change, the more things stay the same. Kent and I have a development rhythm we've both become very tuned into, and the content is churning out at a pace very reminiscent of our previous work.
Our Community Manager has hit the ground running with and takes personal pleasure in ensuring Kent and I provide regular updates, as you'll see with the coming character profiles and other quizzes and sneak peeks.
Starting from scratch is always a weird mix of opportunity and risk, but attacking the same problems the second time around with the lessons learned from the first is always a huge advantage.
We're super excited to be working on a second project and I'm no less excited to be putting some extra love and polish into our last one.
We can't wait to show you all what we've been cooking up!

You are right, we don't have time to train in order to achieve a 6 pack and the shitty government or industry jobs for researchers 8even from MIT) do not pay that much either....Ahh, the unachievable women's dream on Tinder - "He should be 6 feet tall, have a 6 pack and earn 6 figures!"(c)

I've read somewhere that on dating sites well over 50% of women are only looking for the top 10% of men, and obviously that isn't workable. Even worse is they prefer the 6' guy with a 6 pack and high earnings who treats them like shit to a 5'4 guy with a belly and an average income who treats them right.Ahh, the unachievable women's dream on Tinder - "He should be 6 feet tall, have a 6 pack and earn 6 figures!"(c)

The focus on height is especially so. Back in the 90s on 20/20 they asked a bunch of women who they'd prefer - one was 6' + the other about 5'5". They even made the short guy a millionaire with a beach house and Ferrari and beach house and they still preferred the tall guy until they made him an ex-con and unemployed. At the end at least 1 admitted it was very shallow. Now given the percent of men who are 6'+... Unfortunately being tall vs short affects a lot of other things like job opportunities - and in elections the taller candidate usually wins. Given that's something one has no control whatsoever over...
