Hello everyone!
I have good news! Recently, I’ve received a call with a surgery date and it will not take place as soon as the doctors had previously assured me. My current surgery date is set on 22nd of October this year. It's much later than I hoped for but the positive thing about it is that it won't affect the release of Episode 2 for sure and I can focus fully on working on it.
I still have some medical examinations, tests etc. to do before October, but they will not affect the pace of work on Race of Life. Unfortunately, the timing of the surgery will rather affect the pace of Episode 3's work, because during its development time I’ll be in the hospital and then recovering for a few weeks. I'll keep you all updated about it and we'll see where Episode 3 will be at the end of October, it’s pretty hard to predict right now.Getting back to Episode 2, I've already exceeded the number of 2500 renders, corrected some earlier animations that turned out to have some hair/clothing clipping or lighting issues that came out only after rendering, and I even managed to make a few more. The number is growing all the time and I am very happy about it.
I waited with the development update until I got the final information from the hospital, so I'm only now informing you about everything. Thank you all for your kind words and wonderful support! You are the best supporters I could ever dream of! Now I can work in peace, because, to be honest, when I was waiting for news from the hospital, I couldn’t really focus on work and I tried to spend as much time with my family as possible. But since I got the surgery date I feel much more calm!And as always, here are a few words from Joshua:
Firstly, I have to thank the patrons. Usually I talk about this at the end, but the last month has been incredible. Underground Studios cracked 200 patrons, and the amount of people on patreon, discord and other channels that have expressed their best wishes to Jachu has been really encouraging. It's a great reminder about how a community is what you make it, and there are some genuinely fantastic people in this one, so thanks for that.
For myself, I've been spending some time the last couple of weeks working out some plot knots in later episodes. With a normal story, you tell it from beginning to end, and that's been done for the main plot, but then you have to add in the various ways the love interests interact with that main plot, the side plots, what changes are made based on your relationship status with them and so on. I don't want to write on the fly or write myself into a corner, so having these smoothed out now makes it a lot easier to write dialogue later when I don't have to make huge changes. I don't want the story to turn into some sort of overly-complex soap opera where everyone is someone's long-lost relation or childhood best friend's neighbor or something, so I'm not trying to be too cute, just give our players a story that they can remember between episodes rather than trying to keep track of a few dozen plot lines (trust me, it's hard to do, even when you're the one writing them all).
Aside from that, there's been the usual tweaks to the current episode, and some work on the dialogue for the next one. As the relationships unfold, I'm sure everyone will have their favorite, but just keep in mind that the episodes have to have content for each girl, and a relationship isn't always flowers and sunshine—not that I'll go out of my way to bum you out, but choices have consequences, y'know?
Anyway, thanks again to the whole community that has been so understanding. It's greatly appreciated. As always, if you guys have any questions, send them in here or on discord, and I'll do my best to answer them, provided it won't spoil anything.
Oh, and if you have a favorite kink, drop it in the comments. If it gets a lot of likes, I may work it into ep 3, if I can do it justice and it isn't one of the ones we're avoiding (scat, NTR, CNC, etc.)
Thanks again everyone!

They come and they go. Most people don't support a single dev for long periods of time.

There are a lot of patreons he lost to be fair, hope he will get more support because he deserves it.

With all due respect, 170 patrons is even too much considering that he still hasn't provided a new update 8 months after the game's initial release. For a starting game, that is insanely ill-advised. He doesn't deserve more patrons until he provides more content, not at all.

8 months is fine when comes to high quality games.

I wouldn't say too much as this is good work, but I do agree that 8 months between updates is way too long for a DAZ game. In reality, it'll likely be another few months tacked on to that.

Has it really been 8 months and counting just to get 1 update???
Edit: Does the dev have the same illness as depicted in the game? Holy shit

Not trying to be petty or nothing but a couple of months ago when I said I don't see this gaming going past episode 5 before it gets abandoned, some people thought I was being a hater. I'm still sticking to what I said then, but I wonder what those "optimists" has to say now

I'm not one of those "optimists", but i'm one fucking pragmatist. I simply do not care. My live doesn't depend on an AVN. If an update drops fine, if not, fine too.
But how is it to be one of these "The End is near" Guys? Does it feel good, going on like "HA! I said it all along, now you'll see!"?

I don't know what will happen in the future, but at the moment I'm not worried about the Devs. You can usually tell when a Dev is burnt out or milking people. I don't see any indication of that at the moment, they always keep their patrons informed and they still seem excited. Their first chapter is very long and not everyone has the hardware that DPC has. At least let's wait for the next chapter to come out before judging them.

Bro u good? Seems like u took what I said personally
U sure u not one of those optimists? Naah I'm playing, but seriously,I didn't mean anything bad with what I said. Was just pointing out how I got attacked for saying what I said but look at where we are now. If you're for some reason offended by that then that's on you bruh, don't take things so seriously.

Nah, i'm not offended. I just jumped on your "HA! Nana Nana nana! said though, guys".Bro u good? Seems like u took what I said personally
Fans are always biased, of course they defend their "toys". Just like you said for yourself, don't take it too seriously!
At the end, we're all here for a lot of porn and fun (and some stories). No Drama mate!
Have a nice evening!

Eyy careful with the "We all" bruh. While I know majority are here mainly for fap material, not all of us are here for the porn. Im just here for the drama and the stories. The drama in the stories tho not irl drama lol. The porn stuff is meh for me. I'd do without it but there's a skip button so it's coolNah, i'm not offended. I just jumped on your "HA! Nana Nana nana! said though, guys".

Let me ask you a question, when these type of games are developed do you prefer short update, 10-15 min of gameplay, or do you want a larger one so you can play over 30 min?
Also remember that dev of BADIK was known to release game updates a year or more later and when he did you had for over an hour of gameplay. And not that i compare this game with BADIK but if updates are going to be big i think it's on its way to be of that level. So just have a little patience when EP2 comes out, when ever dev consider it's ready to release.
This game is rly good with alot of potential. Sometimes these lines between MC and his friends getting a little long for trashtalk... enjoyed it anyways. Overall great foundation! No beta pushover MC is a huge plus
