Hi everyone, happy July! This month kind of flew by. Can't believe the mini demo's almost been out for an entire month now. Just wanted to start out and thank everyone who tried, reviewed, streamed, gave feedback for, etc. the demo! We didn't expect so many people to try it already and we got a lot of good feedback! As such, we actually went ahead and updated the demo a bit with a few more scenes/lines. We don't really expect people to play it again just for those so we wanted to detail the biggest ones here:

• There's an extra scene in the police station between the crime scene investigation and Yunie running straight into jail to hopefully smooth it out a bit
• Some extra lines in Alexei's first scene/the jail scene
• Some extra lines in the hideout

• The writing and programming are done! It's currently at 41k words total between the two demos
• Some minor progress on CGs/sprites but the artist was busy this month, will resume in August!
• Music and BGs are done!
• Opening theme song is done!
• GUI has been done for a while, but the graphic designer has been working on Kickstarter assets
• The Kickstarter will most likely be in October! It may seem like a long time away, but it'll give us time to make sure everything is set up and to market... and advertise...... and all that fun stuff......... (the second demo will be released a couple weeks before that, though)

• Kickstarter
• Steam
• Discord
• Tiktok (I do not really know how this works but this is part of the aforementioned marketing attempt so I figured I should start actually acknowledging it exists...)
