On a technicality of beginning this update before midnight on August 31st, this is totally on time still ;)

GOOD EVENING everyone! With this new update, we officially have concluded our Summer 2025 Roadmap! There's been plenty of long hours writing the finer points and details of Act 2 throughout the Summer, setting the stage for the Intermission 2 section we'll be completing in the coming weeks. For now though, a bit of a break is sorely needed; if my wrist has any say in it that is... (Act 2 is totaled at 155 Pages)

Below is a look back at everything I have tasked myself during our Summer Season.

June:

- The entirety of Intermission 1 at 100% Completion
- Started Act 2
- Published 2 Updates throughout the month

July:

- Act 2 at 50% Completion
- Published 2 Updates throughout the month

August:

- The entirety of Act 2 at 100% Completion
- Started Intermission 2
- Completed all tasks in Summer 2025 Roadmap
- Currently typing the remainder of this update!

Three Months. 1 Minor, and 1 Major chunk of the story's story script completed. The overall outline of how the remainder of the story and how the features within the game will shape the project going forward are all but finalized in writing (which is always subject to change!) 

A new season brings new beginnings, and it is my absolute pleasure to present the OFFICIAL roadmap for the Fall 2025 Season!

September:

- 10% Completion of "Intermission 2" by "Update #10"
- 25% Completion of "Intermission 2" by "Update #11"
- Update #10: September 17th, 2025
- Update #11: September 30th, 2025

October:

- 50% Completion of "Intermission 2" by "Update #12"
- 75% Completion of "Intermission 2" by "Update #13"
- Update #12: October 15th, 2025
- Update #13: October  30th, 2025

November:

- 100% Completion of "Intermission 2" by "Update #14"
- Begin "Act 3" by "Update #15"
- Create "Winter 2025 Roadmap" in "Update #15"
- Update #14: November 12th, 2025
- Update #15: November  27th, 2025

Now, I am nothing if not generous towards my own mental health...sometimes.

Do I believe Intermission 2 will take over 2 Months to complete? FUCK NO. Am I re-entering University later this week? YES. This is potentially my final year of University before I graduate, therefore I decided to be extra generous with the deadlines for the first 2 Months of the Fall 2025 Roadmap. 

If there are any "Early Completions" of any tasks on this To-Do List, they will NOT be bundled with the tasks in the given month. In its place, I'll be listing the date of Early Completion next to the task!
(EX: 50% of Intermission 2 won't be transferred to September upon Early Completions)
(- 50% Completion of "Intermission 2" by "Update #12"  Early Completion: Update #10 - September 17th, 2025)

With the story of VOIDWATCH: CrossLust coming so close to completion, it gives me pause. This project has been in development hell since it's early ideas in 2021, and the original Alpha Build created in 2022. Since then, there have been several changes ranging from the fundamentals of the story & overall game, to the complete reworking of specific characters, settings, and abilities. Even how I have begun conducting myself and this project this year GREATLY differ from the early days of CrossLust. Many necessary mistakes had to be made along the way, such is life.

That'll be all from me tonight! I hate the heat, and will embrace the chilly weather on the horizon. We'll be seeing you all when the next progress update on September 17th, 2025 for Update #10 has been published!
