Hello, Japan.

So, yeah.

Upcoming things.

This week, we're going to have another teaser on Thursday or Friday.

And it's going to be of a different feature.

Yeah.

We can't say what it is yet.

Yeah.

I mean, you'll notice when it comes out.

Or will you?

Like before.

It's going to be microtransactions.

Like actual microtransactions.

That's too cruel.

Not even I would do that.

I wouldn't.

Don't look at me.

I wouldn't.

Okay, I'll look away.

So what else?

Yeah, that's going to happen.

And you talked about this in the video as well, about the release date or whatever.

Or like rather why we can't say right now when the release date is.

And I think you said... Yeah, I said it's because of this week.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So like this week's going to play a big role.

However, previously we said end of January, beginning of February.

We can confirm not end of January.

Shooting for beginning of February.

However, as Snoot was saying before, that depending on how this goes, if things go poorly, we may have to add one or two weeks or something like that on there.

But that's the timeframe we're looking at.

It's not...

It's not, like, gonna be delayed a month, and if it's delayed a month, ugh, it's gonna feel so bad because I just said this, but I'm 99.9% sure it'll only be a couple weeks.

Yes, so, yeah, actually, I didn't say that last time.

I was supposed to say this in yesterday's video and I forgot, but update 3 will launch on experimental.

It will not go to early access, and the reason is obvious.

We need people to test it and to help stabilize it before it goes to early access, so...

Update 3 will launch there first.

And you know, we don't want to launch it on experimental early because we want everyone to have access to experimental and if we put it there and then everyone's going to know what's in it and there won't be hype for early access when it goes across or whatever.

So yeah, this is probably how we're going to be doing all of our updates.

They go to experimental first and then over to early access.

It's going to be very similar to how we did the last update because it was the same thing there.

We launched it on experimental first just to make sure that the game is stable for everyone.

Because even when we test ourselves, if we don't find a single bug, which we do, but say that we don't, that doesn't necessarily say that there aren't bugs in the game because we have somewhat limited resources in terms of testing.

We also have limited resources in terms of

proper play time here because there's only so many hours in the day.

We're so busy doing that stuff.

And we're balancing that with actually implementing stuff.

So there's always that big unknown.

Also, we're never going to be out of bug test as well as you guys.

Yeah, no, that's true.

That's the other thing.

We don't lean on that by any means, but it is true.

We could think it's 100% stable, but we would also know that you're going to find bugs.

Yeah.

But as soon as we feel like it's stable, we're going to push it to early access.
