Hey guys! Welcome to another Developer Log by Crispy.

We're now in December, and in a few weeks I'll be announcing the release date for  The Arson Betrayal's Act II - Chapter 1. 

With the Centurions hot on their trail and converging from all sides, the gang would have to keep their wits about them and rely on the help of strangers along the way to safely get to Eastranch Beach in one piece.

At the same time, Luna's curiosity is starting to take its toll. It seems both her friendship with Alice and Sydney and her Whitecrest namesake has started to attract some dangerous attention.

Lastly, Heather has officially made her debut in the interlude: "The Assistant". With her barely making it out of the Institute alive, where is she now? Only time can tell.

All these questions will soon be answered, in Act II. Stay tuned!

Now for the technicalities. As of today, Version 0.6.0 is currently 65% done! To be honest, I'm currently experimenting with a few ideas of mine in Studio to make my renders more presentable. At the same time, I've been focusing development in creating the maps I need for scenes. Once I get the hang of it, work will continue on its previous efficiency. Here's a Status Update for you all:

As for the in-game walkthrough, not everyone is aware of it, but it was removed on Version 0.4.0 (around Chapter 4 of the game), mainly because the number of variables I was needing to keep track of was getting bigger, and some choices are planned to be more complicated as the game progresses. But seeing as demand for it has been increasing, and knowing understandably that some players just want to play without worrying about consequences later on, I'm thinking of bringing it back sometime between Version 0.6.0 and Version 0.7.0, along with the planned Codex, which'll be a feature about the girls and the lore surrounding the game. Still, I want to make no promises regarding these as they will surely take time, both in planning and coding, and my first and foremost priority will of course always be delivering new updates and the main game itself.

We'll be celebrating the game's first anniversary in December 05, 2022! Join us on Discord or follow us on Twitter to stay updated on the latest news.

That's about it. Cheers, and I'll see you all on the next update!
