Greetings my fellow Didnappers, and happy holidays!
As some who have been active in Didnapper's Discord chat may already know, I've been busy lately first with things like exams (which so far seem to have gone pretty well), then with helping out at home where my mom recently had a rather big scheduled surgery.
Now luckily some of the RL workload and such is lifted, and so I'll get back to working on the game when I can. I'm very happy to say that while I've been largely inactive this past month, other contributers haven't.
That means that I now have quite a lot of material to work with and catch up to, which I'm very grateful for!
I still stand by my personal goal of having the next CB ready for the end of January, and I intend this to be the last v1.7 CB-release before the official one.
This next CB will include the 7th and 8th mission (updated amazon mission + the new Florian mission). The story scripts for these missions are done, and maps and character graphics are mostly done. That means that the majority of work left is the overall implementation of the missions' coding, which greatly lies on my own shoulders.
We also hope to include some new content and features, such as for example Carol and Athena in the Private Cell.

I'd like to give a special shoutout to ImilianArticuno (story script) and A-Wild-Stargazer (graphics and music) who have been working like heros while I've been busy, and I hope to do their work justice when I implement it.
I'd also like to thank all of you players who have shown such a great interest in the project! This group just passed 1000 watchers, and the v1.7 Demo 3 version has now passed 16 000 downloads (excluding the latest patch file), so really:
