Hi :)\n

Where did that month go? I swear it was right here.\nWe hope you didnt mistake our silence for laziness, because nothing could be further from the truth.\nWeve been hard at work on Arcade, and we are happy to say that were now finally in the homestretch.\n\nThe level is done, almost all of the animations are complete, and were editing the audio and starting testing soon to make sure that everything weve been so carefully crafting fits together just how we want it to. \n

So, now that its the homestretch, and weve got a release window in mind (thats coming at the end, dont scroll down and skip to it, youll ruin the flow), we thought it was about time to let you know in detail what to expect when the Arcade update finally hits.\n

Firstly, lets get into some housekeeping. For a long time, weve felt that the Security Office and Nightclub levels are a touch excessive, and with their completion being required for Arcade, we thought wed ease the tedium and smooth out the difficulty curve a little.\n

So, expect a few less levels in the middle, boring bits of those two. Trust us, you wont miss em.\n

With this, were also able to make the level select a little nicer-looking, and make it easier to select a specific level you might want to try again. Were not changing much, but any improvement is a start.\n

The Arcade itself will be comprised of six levels, all of which will be action-packed and unique, including a brand new boss fight, which were always excited to give you.\n

With that latter group in mind, were also happy to finally reveal that Arcade will feature the much requested Custom Night mode, where players can set up their own dream combo of characters and difficulties to try their skills, or just enjoy the company of their favorite girls.\n

That wasnt tempting fate, Im sure.\n

But, the people that scrolled down rapidly from the intro are eagerly awaiting the release window, so without further ado, Ill say that were optimistically aiming for a release just before Christmas. This is pending nothing going wrong with testing, and everything falling into place just right, but thats where our head is at right now, and were all locking in to try and achieve it.\n

If things change, well of course keep you updated, as we always try to, and theres always more information to be found on the Discord, or our socials.\n

So, keep an eye out, get excited, and most importantly:\n

Happy hunting!
