Hello everyone!
We hit the ground running! I decided to start with a lewd scene to give myself time for potential animation tweaks and to make the scene really sexy and well-developed. Honestly, I'm very excited and curious about what you'll think of this scene.
I've already managed to make and render 200 images and 3 animations. Of course, I'm not even close to finishing this scene, I'm about halfway through the renders, but I've planned quite a lot of animations for it. We'll see how it turns out. I hope it goes smoothly.
I can't yet determine exactly how much work lies ahead for this update, as Joshua is still polishing it, but it's already clear that the upcoming update will be full of lewd scenes and will complete the entire Act I, so the amount of content for the Steam release will be satisfying. Of course,
don't forget to wishlist Race of Life on Steam!

In a few days, I'll be posting an extra NSFW animation for Mechanics ($20) and higher tiers. I hope this will make the wait for the update more enjoyable for you.
Additionally, I'd like to ask you an important question! I want you to decide whether the MC should have a beard or not. As you know, up until now, the MC's beard has gradually grown each day in the game until he had a full beard. I chose this approach because I thought it added realism and highlighted the difficult time the MC was going through. However, now I want to give you the choice about his facial hair. So please leave your vote in the poll. The poll is open to all Patrons from Gamblers ($5) and higher tiers.

Few words from Joshua
Not a lot to talk about from my end. I'm still dealing with the most complex scene in the update (so far there are six main paths to work through the scene, and multiple ways it can play out on each path) and about now I'm really glad that I spent time updating my plot points into something that I can keep track of.
It might be a bit ambitious to have so many paths, but there is some commonalities between some of them. Ultimately, the player will get a different flavour based on how they have played the game up until this point—and there will also be a couple of new characters that will play a part in how the story unfolds.
That doesn't mean original characters will be forgotten though. Jake will have interaction with all of them. While it's not possible to give every character equal time, over the spread of 3.1 and 3.2, I think we've been fair with how much interaction Jake gets with his chosen girl (or girls).
Please keep the feedback coming, it's actually really interesting to see how there are so many different perceptions of what's happening and where the story is headed. Some are pretty close to the mark, some are way off, and some see things from a point of view that I hadn't considered—which can only be a good thing to make me think about how people react to the story and how it is told.
Stay tunned!
