      So I think the first question to answer is, when is Update 8 coming out?

      So right now, we are working on...

      the hopefully final push on our experimental branch with UpToDate before we feel like we are ready to like sort of finalize it and release it on the Early Access branch.

      If you watched the video I put out a couple of weeks ago where I talked about like why we're doing it this way and sort of what we're working on right now, that video is still sort of like valid, but we have progressed a bit further now, of course, we're still working on it, but we don't have like a good estimate as to like when we will be ready to release this patch on experimental.

      We believe it'll be sometime in October, but we can't really say too much more so than that because right now what we've done is upgraded the engine to 5.2, which we have done, and we resolved most of those issues.

      We're also working towards implementing a refactor of our online subsystem

      that's also supposed to go in up to date.

      And we kind of need to do that now as well because this is the best time to do it.

      And there's still a bunch of work left on that side.

      So we are progressing quite well, but there's still a bunch of work left and there's still a bunch of testing left that we need to do internally before we can release it on the experimental branch.

      And then once it's out on the experimental branch sometime in October, it'll probably take like a couple of weeks

      before it's ready to be able to shift away to the early access branch.

      And we'll talk more like as the time comes, I think, and give you more news as to like what's going on.

      But that's the state of things right now.
