Hey, hey friends! Hope you're all doing well this week!

I'm going to keep this brief, today. Chapter 10's alpha version is officially available. I've pushed out some early bug-fixes for issues that people reported, and I'm working on adding a couple little items for the beta (11/22) and public (11/30) releases. Just some stuff I wanted in there, that I wasn't able to finish before my deadline. A little extra art for two scenes, a couple script tweaks, and an bonus scene for Ashe, with the player texting her.

I realized we hadn't really seen Ashe in a few chapters, so why not fix that? And as I got to thinking about Ashe, I thought it might be fun to imagine a past where she worked at The Chesty Cheetah while attending college..

At present, I'm mostly focused on managing the current release. But, I'm turning my eye towards the future (or the past?), to the remake of Chapter 1, and some of the accompanying designs for our beloved (and not-so-beloved) characters. As part of the remake, we'll see an earlier introduction of Carolina, while Guy is moving into his swanky new penthouse.

But, I'm also sketching out the outline for Chapter 11. No big spoilers for my plans, but I can tell you we'll be seeing some of Gabby (well, a lot of Gabby..) as well as visiting Ashe at the museum. We might even bump into her crone of a boss. Won't that be fun? :D

I'm still planning to take December off (during which time I'll be pausing pledges). But, until then I'm going to focus on polishing up the Chapter 10 release, as well as getting some writing done for the Chapter 1 remake. And let's be honest, the workaholic in me probably won't allow me to sit on my duff all December. So, you folks will probably get a little Christmas gift from your buddy Neon.

I'll be here for the rest of the month, updating things as per usual with whatever I'm working on! So, don't tune me out just yet. :D

Until next time: take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
