_Checks watch._ Well, that was a long time, huh? Guess I should start this off by saying _The Bureau_ is updated. - “Cookies and Cream” Ryder extra scene in chapter 4.5, adding 5.4k words to the demo. - Hawks no longer falsely accuses the PC of stealing a hard drive they’ve literally never seen before. (Fixed a \*goto bug in the debrief) - Carter is now also named Harper. It’s an androgynous name and works well for both. Mainly done for personal reasons. So, obviously I took somewhat of a break from the game. I’m pretty much writing it at my own pace at this point, but no, it won’t take a year per 5k words going forward. I wanted to expand myself as a writer, so I took on different projects, and some of those projects are still in the works, while others are completed and being released into the world. I’ve been pausing Patreon for a while; not sure if or when I’ll activate it again. Might just make everything free to relieve some of the pressure/stress. Of course, college is still college. Still stressful on top of it all. Thanks everyone for being patient. I’ll stop by once I update the game again. Stay Brilliant, -Vi --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/wip-the-bureau-chapters-1-4-390k-total-words-updated-08-08-2024/99993)._
