So to start off this news update with a bang: Newgrounds will finally be getting the updated version of Part 1 on December 10th! This has been a bit of a long time coming, and we initially wanted to wait until all the NSFW scenes were finished for Part 2 but we're fairly confident we can at least get 2 of the 3 done before then, with the final scene coming a bit later. All the improvements we've made over the past few months will be included (excluding the content for Cyberia) and Part 2 will be kept for paid patrons only. Our goal is to provide brand new content on our pages consistently, and once we've fully finished Part 3 we'll be updating our public versions as well as the Newgrounds version to Part 2. We'll keep to a staggered release at least until the end of Chapter 2 (that's 8 content updates worth of stuff!). We have an enormous amount planned for future content with Cyber Rift, and we wanted to go into a bit of detail on what's coming.

Mini Wardrobe Update!

With our brand new sprite system we're happy to announce that we'll be adding the ability to customize the crew's outfits. The biggest hurdle with getting this feature working was redoing all the sprites in the new system. Our new system allows for each changing for each of the character's outfits and we're aiming to include a few new outfits for each of our characters in this update. This won't be considered a full content update and it's mainly aimed at creating the foundation for future outfits. We're aiming to let patrons to eventually vote on brand new outfits for us to include and even give ideas for future ones we could add to the game! No ETA with this update just yet, but it will definitely happen a lot faster than previous updates.

Chapter 1 Part 3

This will be our next major content update for Cyber Rift. It'll continue right after the events of Part 2 and you'll be venturing into the Syndicate facility to find out what the hell they've been hiding in this frozen wasteland. We're aiming for it to be very similar content size wise to Part 2. We're planning on this update to be a bit more involved puzzle wise, and aiming to try for some more varied interesting gameplay elements. Since we don't want to spoil too much we'll leave it at that, but you can expect it out in a few months. We're also going to be very active on our Discord and have a few fun surprises in store so definitely check us out there!

....and Beyond!

We'll be the first to admit the development of Cyber Rift has been a little all over the place, but for the past 3 years we've learned an enormous amount game development wise. From RenPy to Unity, and rebooting the game twice just to make sure we're doing it right, we are now confident that we've found our voice for the game and we're fully sure on how we're gonna progress forward in the future. Our final goal will be a grand total of 7 Chapters with 4 Parts per chapter. This doesn't mean all content is set in stone, so we may have smaller surprises in between parts so keep an eye out for those! That's it for this news update, and we hope you're excited for the future of Cyber Rift!
