2025 End-of-Year Report

Hi everyone, 2025 draws to a close... we accomplished a fair bit this year, but it has overall felt slow to me and I'm sure to many of you as well, so I apologize. Behind the scenes, things have been progressing, but giving our many contributors room to breathe and do their best work can be slow-going. 

Though this year has been quite slow compared to the breakneck pace of the early days, I have regained some of my ability to make updates to the mod itself, now through manual means rather than using the in-game mod manager. The rest of my talented teammates have assisted me greatly in fixing, maintaining, and expanding the mod, and I am very grateful to have their help.

For our upcoming short-term goals, we are still busy making high-security straitjackets, Zhara (I think), and another update that should fix some reported issues and adjust some annoying features of the mod. This month I've been keeping in touch with the various artists currently making progress on works for us. Most have gotten busy with other things in their personal lives but are still steadily making progress for us. This is the best I can hope for given the nature of these commissioned works and the frequent back-and-forth communication I have to make with them to get things right for them to work in the mod. 

I've not been as communicative or active as I would have liked to be this year. My personal life is in shambles as I've been finishing up school but have unable to pass certification exams for the next steps of my career outside of mod development, but I'm doing my best to keep up with both that and the mod.  I fear that I'm going to have to really lock in and commit to passing my exams this time around, or we'll be here all over again in a few months and I can't keep doing that to you guys.  

The rest our our team is still actively working on various project including Overkill mod and other DID-related activities. 

Thank you for your support, I will do my best to continue adding cool things to this mod as art gets completed and inspiration for actual new uses for that art comes to me. I hope you all are having a good holiday season. Here's to a new year with more progress and good things.

Sincerely,
