Oh boy, after a process that was a bit more complicated than I anticipated I finally got the RAM in my PC replaced and it seems to be working alright! Unfortunately during the wait I haven't been able to work on the next build with the exception of some writing and coding (only thing I could really accomplish with my laptop).

When it comes to the state of the patron-only preview build (which I'm considering renaming to just Episode 2 Part 1 since I feel like it'll be significant enough in scope), I still have some work to do. Without spoiling too much I will say that the build will include a sort of tutorial/introduction fight but I'm not really happy with the way it has currently turned out. Right now it feels a bit too 'gamy' for me which isn't my aim: I want the wrestling to feel more like a narrative rather than something solely stat-based, yet I do want the way you train and prepare for a match to have an impact. There should be multiple ways to win or lose a match and I want you to have the ability of shaping a fighting style for your MC. Aside from that the main big thing I still need to do is the final scene, which includes a lewd scene. This is something I absolutely want to include in the next build, seeing as this is still an AVN and I want to include at least 1 lewd scene per update.

With all that said I'm going to refrain from putting out a definite release date, I feel like at this moment I don't have a proper handle on how long things take and after the computer trouble I don't feel like jinxing myself into another issue right before release. Good thing is I do feel like I am ready to start releasing teaser images so all Hot Coffee-tier patrons/subscribers and above should look out for the first one a few minutes after this post goes live on Patreon and Subscribestar!
