Hey again everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. A new exciting year is in store for OO!

Seeing as this is my first post after the release of 0.4.2, I'd like to thank you for all the support I've received recently. I hope you all enjoyed the next part of the story. I have been hard at work on 0.4.3 (with a slightly lighter work schedule to enjoy the holidays).

• 32 new renders
• a ton of writing (4 new events written)
• 2 new characters
• 2 new outfits for some special ladies 
• 1 new environment

Most of this cycle has been focused on writing/planning. The end of last update had some consequences and a new destination set as well. 

The start of the update will feature a few sequential events regarding that, then sandbox players will be returned to the sandbox to enjoy more content as the crew makes their way to the next mission. 

For VN players, I have been thinking about how I'd like to handle future content going forward. I have determined that the structure of the event-based sandbox mode should take precedence. The plan for now is to patchwork the events together, and once development catches up with to fill in the holes by reaching the next mission, I will reorganize the events to better work with VN mode. The pacing and timeline of future VN events may not feel particularly cohesive when playing update to update.  I wish this could be avoided, but with the periodic release schedule that OO follows, it is unavoidable. It's not something you as a player need to worry about, but you could expect to see some time-skips or oddities to the passing of time while playing. (I am probably overthinking it all anyway! lol)

What's next? I have a ton of events lined up and outlined, so now it's just about putting them into action. Writing, rendering, and all the things that come with it!

I have some fun and hot things cooking. Maybe some tanned goddess cuisine? Some of the little purple-haired cutie for dessert? Sounds delicious to me.
