[Announcement] Feeling Better & News About the Game

First of all, thank you everyone for your well-wishes! Whatever was afflicting me seems to have passed, and I'm feeling much better.

Now to the actual announcement—I'm unfortunately going to have to delay the next update for a month. The reason why is because it's a pretty big update. What I've been working on is an overhaul of the NPC prey system. What I want to achieve with this overhaul is:

• a) Make sharing a belly with another prey character less unsettling. As you can see in the mockups above, this is done by moving the NPC's face slightly further away from the camera, and by adding two more ways the NPC prey can be positioned relative to the player, the idea being that you and the NPC gets jostled around as you're digested and whenever you kick against the stomach walls.

• b) Allow all preds to eat NPC prey, with some characters, such as Jasmine and Bessie, being able to have multiple prey in their belly.

• c) Instead of only existing inside of the bellies of preds, NPC prey would be randomly generated and roam around like any other characters. You'd be able to interact with them and build relationships with them, but unlike pred characters they can be killed off.

For those of you wondering about Ruby and her area, neither of them will be introduced in this next update. I first need to get this new NPC prey system in place before I can work on them.
