Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreetings and salutations and mornings, evenings and nights!

The demo is nearing completion! All 15 characters are ready to go minus some balancing and fixing smaller issues. Like I mentioned previously, I think I picked the 15 characters that I feel utilize the unique mechanics of this game, from the PC screen to Panic. I playtested with all 15 character active and... well... it's a challenge to say the least. Despite that, I still feel like the gameplay is too slow. Having the Blocker Counter be the main priority in the night, it forces you to interact and push back the characters. If I want to make the gameplay faster, I'd have to either lower cooldowns, reduce odds or reduce amount of time in-between choosing odds. Either way, the game will be harder, especially on 20 AI. It's gonna be hard to balance it out.

The only things left to do are making the PC have functionality besides for Hamburgular and Blank, mechanic explanations, control explanations, making a proper end of night sequence and presets! It shouldn't be a lot, it'll just be tedious. I think I need to add sound effects here and there as well, I hope I don't forget that. They're not necessary sound effects but I do wanna add as much polish as possible.

Now, the screenshot. EMCN 2 will have Discord Rich Presence. If you don't know what that is, it's a little thing where one people's profiles on Discord, you can see what they're currently playing. Not only that, but it can showcase any additional info like current location or what they're doing. EMCN 2 is going to utilize that! It'll show if they're in a night or not (and even say if it's a preset) and show how much of the Blocker Counter they have completed. It'll even show when they lost. So with Gamejolt accessibility AND Discord Rich Presence, EMCN 2 is already so much further than the original EMCN. Yippee!

That's about all. Like I said, the remainder of making the demo will only be tedious stuff that probably isn't worth showing. There is a possibility this is the last Progress Update before the demo. If that's so, thank you all for listening to me ramble on and on for most of these. it's been a pleasure!

Keep a lookout for the demo, and see you soon! :)
