The last couple of months have been a bit of a dust storm in the world of 2090s Cincinnati with August and September representing some substantial leaps forward. Last month, for example, we marked an exciting milestone as the game now has over 2.5 million words of content. The summer months also saw our long-awaited major vehicle update with plenty of new vehicles, including motorbikes, as well as new systems for storing and modding your rides. Of course, this is already old news, and you can read all about it here, but it still represents one of the biggest leaps forward in terms of new content so far this year with a raft of detailed mechanics as well as new locations and NPCs. In short, theres never been a better time to get behind the wheel and burn rubber, especially with the badlands coming soon. But thats not all thats been cooking in our kitchen. Late summer also brought with it the Summer Heatwave 23 Crazy Clowns, ice cream, Darlene, pink spikes and mysteries aplenty. Not to mention the scorching weather. We also added a bunch of new content for Double Blow during September, whos been a part of the game for a good, long while but has only now become the fleshed out character he was always designed to be. We also added more content for Mavis and Angelique, for those that way inclined. A Roadmap for the Future Weve updated our roadmap with the latest tweaks to our planned content schedule. As ever, this is a living document, but well keep doing our best to keep it on-track and relevant. The most obvious addition is Zara. Like Double Blow, shes been in the game for a long time, but only really as a name and a face and shes also long been the most requested thing to flesh out properly. As you might guess, the content that gets pushed back the most is usually the biggest and most ambitious, but its time to bite this particular bullet. This means pushing some other items back, but were not expecting too many complaints in this case. A lot of our community have also responded to our future projects survey (this is still open, if you want to have your say). Thank you so much for all the feedback weve received. Weve been going through it all and will have an announcement about the next big thing for cyberpunkdreams before too long.
Art Imitates Life As well as the major milestones, as ever, there have been a lot of smaller additions and fixes to the game many driven by your reports, feedback and requests. Here are a few of the most notable:

• Art imitates life as antidepressants and alcohol now increase the minimum need level for sex and being very drunk now gives you a No fit state.

• The credit-locked storyline for getting out of jail early has received a lot of love, including an exciting action scene, new lore, a new gang, and perhaps a rare opportunity to get contact with a coveted organisation.

• You can take PCP (not that wed recommend such a thing) and theres a brand new pharmaceutical in the shape of SVV.
