It's been a bit of a busy time for the team and today we wanted to go into some big bits of progress that we've been up to! We've recently been going through a bit of an overhaul for how we're planning future content, as well as figuring out just how we want to achieve each of the new updates going forward. We're still going off the same plan we set from the beginning, however we wanted to focus on creating a more efficient pipeline for how we produce new content. This coming update is aiming to be a similar size as Part 2, and we're aiming to get straight into Part 4 as soon as the release is stable. Part 3 is going to feature 3 new backgrounds, some brand new minigames, 2 new NSFW scenes, and finally another banging music track! We're also happy to show off one of the brand new backgrounds (downloadable gif preview down below!):

Originally we wanted to feature this background earlier but due to IRL circumstances we didn't have enough time to finish and polish it. So here's outside the Syndicate Research Lab! (it's actually longer and panning!)
One thing we wanted to go over today is to explain one of the reasons things have been taking so long. Due to IRL circumstances our writer simply hasn't had the time to really work on the game and that has caused a slow down to our production momentum immensely. Biggest issue with lack of writing is we'd have several of the pieces good to go, but without the direction on how to create more art or more nsfw scenes while we were waiting. Our writer is still going to stick around and help advise story direction, but we wanted to announce that we've found a brand new writer for the team! Recently we've spent the time getting them acquainted with how we have structured the game as well as orienting them towards producing content far down the line. In the future we'll go into more detail about what we have planned right after Part 4 (it's gonna be a big announcement!) but for now we're focusing on getting Part 3 finished. But without further ado, here's Sheep!

Oh gosh, that’s my cue!
Hello, everyone! You can call me Honeypot Sheep, or Sheep! That works too!~
I’m a script-and-story writer, and I’m proud to officially be a part of the Cyber Rift development crew. From what I’ve already seen of the game, as well as discussed with the main brains behind the frames, I’m already loving the heck out of this story!
I’ll be sure to do my best in putting out story-writing that goes above and beyond to spin you all a yarn from the starry ocean of Cyber Rift.
Thank you to the crew for having me be part of the team, and thank you all for your support of Cyber Rift! ❤️
They've already proven themselves to be a great fit with the team, and we're definitely excited to have them writing future content for Cyber Rift! That's it for today's news update, and if you guys have any questions or just want to let us know if you have any ideas for future content or even just pinups feel free to suggest them down below!
