Hi all, just quick message to let you know I'm currently testing and checking a few things and still adding as much as I can to this update. It will be out before the end of the 31st so don't worry!

My last message was that it would take approx 2 weeks, turned out to be even more because I spent an entire week editing and updating an important plugin to work while not breaking the game. I believe I have it working correctly as far as I can tell. This plugin was crucial to making this update very life like and better than just 'straw go here and there'.

RPG Maker is not designed to have events interact with other events (Think NPCS and stuff that you can interact with), only the player themselves. What I've gone and done is made it that NPCs in this event will 'run life-like' from the straw when they come in certain range, and if it comes closer they will even run faster a bit! When they're not running, they'll turn to face it so you have a general idea where it is while you're playing tag with it. I'm also currently adding some behaviours/emotions that they'll have randomly like sitting down/lying down etc. It's tiring when you're exercising that much after all!

Some of you will have seen a snippet of the mechanics of what I've done in the preview on discord/x. This is the most insane and ridiculous programming thing I've ever done in RPG Maker and getting timings right so there's no lag/bugs has been pretty hectic.

I will have to wait about a week after release before I send to those in April who had subscribed and unpledged as promised. This is to see if anyone finds anything game breaking that I'll have to investigate and fix as this plugin is a core one that affects a lot in game. If anything comes up game breaking that stops this months release for any reason, of course I'll be sending to this months $5+ unsubbers too as it's not fair on you!

Thanks again for your patience!
