Hello everyone,
I'll start with the most important thing, release date of the next update will be next month. I was hoping to get everything done this month and release it still in 2021, but I can already see it would just lead to more issues and eventually a delayed release. Sorry about this, especially if you were hoping to play it during your holidays. I also have one smaller thing to discuss, based on your comments about minigames and puzzles, I would like to do a poll to see where the majority stands. Plus, it will help me decide whether all minigames should be skippable or potentially lead to some special rewards for completing them.
Thank you for your support and see you next week for the last news in 2021!

I agree with all above, they should be relevant to the current context, can be skipped and most important; if played there needs to be a reward!!!

i agree and they need to be "meaningfull", otherwise not only are they a chore but they also feel like they are there for the sake of sticking a mni-game in. For example, the fight minigame in MCR, it has meaning,it is well placed but was it really necessary ? wouldn't it be easier for you to just make a binary function that checks stats, abocve threshold you win, below threshold you loose, coupled with a few animations of throwing punches, or just a couple of still "showing" a fight ensue ? And lets not forget the money making in any game that such system is present, even without minigames, when it is just click to go to work, sooner or later you will have to grind the money to get enough for items to progress etc. And so it becomes a chore, noew, add aan actual mnigame for money making, and it will turn out that half your gameplay time is spent on go through a minigame to amke money to progress the game.....
