About the remaster version of the game
The remaster prototype is being made, the combat is planned to be action based that any action can be used in combat. After some more months the prototype of the remaster version could be uploaded as the full release of the game, possibly the full release can be released before the winter sale, the full release is like a new game but early access players don't need to buy it again. The current version will be done after the brothel was added this weekend and the cloth physics would be added next week. Development will be switched to the remaster version with some modules from the current version to be reused, the existing characters and character presets will be carried to the remaster version.
