Greetings Space Citizens!

This month we overhauled a couple of our more infamous quests: 'Need a Hand' and 'Mr. Gifted'. We also applied the editing scythe to the intro and a number of other miniquests! Lastly, there's a whole truckfull of fixes, with a thorough pass being done to clean up and enhance our character busts for dialogue!

'Mr. Gifted' and 'Need a Hand' both featured some of our mature dialogue and scenes, and so we've gone in and applied a gentler touch. We've also brought a number of the involved characters up to speed so that their personalities and lore-awareness match with the rest of the game. With all these alterations, we can remove the AO content warning from the game and SNB can now be enjoyed by an even wider audience! 🧐

As for upcoming content: we've been doing a lot of technical preparation for releasing our soundtrack, and we look forward to releasing it soon! Some groovy tunes to get you through the day, and maybe even a way to find your faith at the local shrine? It'll be quite the time! 😎

Be sure to let us know what you think on Discord! We'd love to see you there!

Wishing you warmth for these rainy days, 🌈
