Greetings from Bidwell City!

So, it's been a while (once again), since last December if you're going by the last post on this. But I am pleased to say that there will be a release of the revamped Vigilante Weekend in the form of an official demo on September 9th, 2022.

What has been changed in the revised, upcoming release of the Vigilante Weekend demo:

• The demo spans the first 7 days of the game, culminating in a challenging conclusion at the end.
• Turns are taken by units individually now, instead of from the player team versus the enemy team.
• Completely revamped and revised skills, items, and equipment.
• A Trait System that gives benefits/downsides to a unit.
• An Augment System to customize units abilities.
• Different activities and events within the city for the player and units to take part of.
• Bases/Headquarters! Only the initial base will be available in the demo, but in the full game you'll be able to choose different styles of bases and customize them to how you play or what advantages you want against the enemy. These can range from being able to recruit special units, gaining daily resources, sabotaging the enemy, etc.
• Morale and Escalation System! The higher your morale, the more bonuses you'll have in combat against the enemy. But be careful, morale is fleeting and must be maintained. And don't forget, the more aggressive you go after criminals, the more they'll escalate their own combat prowess..

Anyway, that's why it's been taking so long to come out with a version update. I was playing through it myself and there were mechanics I just didn't find fun (and if I don't find it fun, how can I expect others to find it fun?). On top of that, I had been approaching the actual programming pretty sloppy, and with this revamp I've been careful to design proper functions and tools to streamline everything for myself so it's not such a pain adding content or changing things.

Also, it goes without saying, the version that is currently posted on here is SEVERELY out of date now compared to what will be uploaded in September. So go ahead and play it if you really want to, but fair warning, the new version is different enough that they really can't be compared. Not to mention the polish I've been trying to apply.

With that, I'll see you all in September when the next update releases!
