This was something I was not exactly expecting to see myself doing, because normally I would be against making such a large change, but in this case, I'm glad I'm doing it!

I am officially announcing that Jason is no longer the protagonist in Phobia: Long Hours, and he won't be in Phobia's storyline anymore, either.

Why?

While writing the storyline for the rest of the series, I wasn't super happy with the direction it was going to go after Jason was going to be introduced. I felt as though it more pushed aside some characters that should have more attention.

So, going forwards with the change in the story, Jason won't exist anymore, but his design will be saved for another character I have in mind, so nothing is really lost anyway!

Meet Wendy, the new protagonist of Phobia: Long Hours!

As a little fun fact, Wendy was supposed to be the protagonist in the game wayyyyy back before it started, but when she was cut from The Awakening, I felt as though she may or may not have had any relevance anymore. She was still going to be in Long Hours, but wasn't a major character, which is one of the reasons why I went with the change. Some of you guys who have been around for a long while now may remember her! :)

Also, the human models are 100% brand new going forwards, and I absolutely love the way she turned out and I hope you guys do too! I've been trying to make better human models for a really long time now, and while this one isn't perfect either, it's a massive improvement from the old ones!
