Incoming Message from an Unknown Entity
Evening humans! This is the master murda here.
Praise be to the artists!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.... I is working on new things. They are many things. Things that are interesting, things that are things. But most of all, they are being worked on!
*backflips into oncoming traffic*
Much work has been done in the new chapter, but much more work will be needed. Much work! This is why I has decided to delete much of my media presence. Because the medias of social be most distracting! Discord with the rooms... Twitter with the postings... Facebook with the right wing cunts.... and even the RPG Maker web forums with the Loli Fuckers who think apathy is enlightenment! (yes, I am speaking to you theo!)
In short, much blood must be obtained. Much blood! And the removal of these distractions shall enhance the game make. Enhance everything!
*picks teeth with someone's finger bones*
I has been updating this game for quite a while. Some may even say, quite a while indeed. And abstract conceptualizations have been conceptualized! I hast seen into the future, and saw updates I fear sharing would ruin my desire to create them. So they shall not be shared for now! Only those that are happening relatively soon. None of that 2025 nonsense!
Next month is Dec, and that was originally meant to be the month of Under City. But... I got burnt the fuck out on that shit! So many NPCs..... *stares off into distance*...so... many...............................and even more were required! Jesus fuck my life! So I shall aim for the creation of that city on Dec 2022, for I think that is a realistic goal. Power to the pragmatism!
As for Dec 2021, which is next month, more expansions to the hotel shall occur, as well as more development on the environmental/ai systems.
As for Mar 2022, I got no fucking clue yet! My future self next month will decide what it shall be. I leaves it to them. Might update the game manual, I don't know. Will have to see how pretty I feel.
And then for Jun 2022, I is looking to have the chapter 7 completed. A chapter that will explain more of Violet's origins, because the game currently doesn't do jack all of fuck explaining a god damn thing about her! Originally, I was working on plot content that took place after chapter 7, but this chapter needs to be made first!
*karate kicks random bus*
I am now done talking!
Have a nice day humans and non-humans. Praise be to the altar!
