Hey all, Arty here.

Before we get into the updates, I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for the successful launch of the FESA ARG. Everyone got together to crack the codes and dissect the lore, just as we intended - it was an experience like no other for both us and the fans, and we intend to keep bringing you more lore and harder puzzles as we march towards release! And a special shoutout to FusionZGamer, who made a video on the FESA program and helped take it beyond our expecations.

Enough about that, though - let's get into the updates!

---------------------------WHAT'S UP?-----------------------

First thing you may be asking: When's FESA going to be updating? When's it going away?

You'll be happy to know that FESA plans to remain updating until the full game's release, after which the program will be taken down. We can't talk about what's in store for the future too much, but trust me - y'all are going to be even more hyped for the game then you were before. It's crazy.

Second off: Will there be an actual demo?
There are, at the time, no plans for a demo. However, this is subject to change as we continue to make the game. If we feel there's room for one, one will be made - but for now, the answer is no.

Third, here's something you may not have noticed: The game's age rating has been bumped from Teen to Mature. I'd love to be cryptic here and say "You'll have to wait and see why", but for transparency's sake, this was a choice made due to nature of future content for FESA and certain things within the full game. You'll understand why soon enough.

Finally, progress on the game is going good. The next dev build will be Pre-Alpha 2, which is the final build before going full into the Alpha stage of development. This stage will go on until we have the entire game in at least a playable state, after which we will enter the Beta phase and begin adding polish, additional content, and making sure everything is just as it should be before release. Release plans are something we will discuss when it comes time - but for now, that's our progress overview.

----------------------------------------------------------------

And that's it for now! A long post, but there's a lot that needed to be addressed - and I hope I was able to cover it all. If you do have any further questions, leave them in the comments or ask on Discord and we'll try our best to answer - as long as it isn't spoilers, of course.

Peace!
