I remember people saying they wanted a mega update. Why is it being split, if the patrons wanted a mega update?
The devs wanted a split, simple as that. The half-release works okay on its own, and they felt pressing on for a full release would result in them cutting corners or slowing down even further as work dragged on. I get the impression they were going a little stir crazy without any feedback, too.

reworking of an early scene is just a little bonus. And at least from my point of view it's a very welcome bonus because even without the rework this is one of my favorite scenes. I am very much looking forward to the additional animations.
I'm sorry. I just don't like this idea of "remake"anything.

GIL is doing it over a time where he would otherwise have nothing to do. You're basically complaining about getting extra shit.
Some people cannot be pleased whatever you do.;) You two are among the rare Devs who push the story forward and do remake stuff simultanious, which is a distinct minority among the AVN Devs.

To be fair, a lot of remakes are initially advertised as small projects to fill free time - only to grow out of control and strangle the game's development like some sort of irradiated kudzu monster. I'm not worried about that happening here, but I can't in good conscience blame people who don't follow the development as closely for flinching at the word.

Besides, as curious as I am to see the new version, GIL should really be spending his free time seeking out sunlight or something while he has the chance. We'll need him slaving away again in the artwork mines on the second half of this update as soon as possible! :p

I tell him the same, but the refresh is something he's keen on and there's no time for it during the production stage of an update. Plus, I don't think he sees himself on "break" until the two week Patreon release window where we chill out, rake in the feedback, and plan.

We're both itching to start a new Project Zomboid world then. ;)

I know this is a difficult question, but how many endings are planned for the game? Since the protagonist has 5 love interests, 1 good ending, 1 bad ending, and so on

hana is the perfect amount of goth without being over-goth and ruining it. a delicate balancing act. whilst i enjoy my time with her in this fictional world, i cannot help but wish more would take a similar path in the actual world, it's rare to see and always fun to meet them.

i digress, cool game, just made me reflective.

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!
Can´t wait to get my hands on this.
There may be a lot of different variables and paths, but when you only have eyes for Hana and Mina it becomes real simple.

If we don't get an ending that involves Kathleen getting killed, I'm giving this game a 1 star. LOL!

I absolutely LOATH her as a character (which just shows how good the writing/story is).

Lord knows how long I have waited to see Elias' reaction when he finds out who the carnations are. But I am afraid the update will end right when they come face to face
