Hi everyone,

It's been a while since the last update, so I thought I should post a little something to let you know that I'm still alive and working on the game. As you might know, I've had a second child and this has severely impacted productivity. I'm the only person working on the PC version at the moment, so things are a bit slow.

Something crazy cool did happen though! Feardemic, the publisher working on the console versions of NR has created an event named Fear Fest and teamed up with IGN to bring us the Horror Game Awards. They slipped in the coolest indie game promotion I've ever seen, a music video for one of Andrew's NR tracks!

I'm currently working on multiplayer and things are going pretty well. I'm focusing on coop, but I also want to add some deathmatch because it could get really crazy with random weapon drops. As soon as I have something that works good enough, I'll start an open beta for anyone who wants to help. You'll have to come to the Discord when the time is right.

Here's a quick teaser for the multiplayer: https://twitter.com/NightmareReape4/status/1690377601720913921

As for the console versions, patches are still in the works. The main thing they're adding is control remapping. I don't have much else to say at the moment, but Feardemic is working on this and the patches are coming.

Other random things:

- Andrew is doing quick videos explaining the inspiration behind tracks he made: https://twitter.com/AndrewHulshult/status/1663951007389188119

- I did an AMA on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/boomershooters/comments/13xmtbw/im_the_developer_of_nightmare_reaper_ask_me/

- ZlimBratSki left a NR mention in his "Goriest boomer shooters" video and I think he needs more recognition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i_Qb51tTco

- I've compiled a lit of all the NR fan art I could find(except the adult ones). Come check them out in the Discord in #fan_content.

That's it!
