what does the time between now and summer holiday look like big update or two with a diversity of features or a single feature dropping on one by one on experimental all right it's it's just it's it's just time to address this okay people are asking about this so so when's update when's update nine when's update nine coming out SN what up what about update

[Laughter]

nine, so here so right so here's the sitch gang we have been so focused on update 8 and like focused on working on update 8 for so long it's been really difficult for us to like plan ahead, so so like there's been a lot of like there's been a lot of technical changes with the game you know the Unreal Engine upgrade and all that stuff, really affected like how we plan the game and all that stuff so at the moment we're really taking things one thing at a time okay like we we we're like let's focus on up toate let's work on up toate there's a lot of stuff that needs to come into up toate, and then when we were wrapping up that up to dat suddenly it was like wait what about fixmas we need to fix fixmas like oh God and that sort of like put a wrench in the planning as well and made it even harder for us to like think ahead, so like when it comes to like what we aim to do between now and and like the next next year or whatever, I think we need just like we just need a breather at the moment, cuz like as soon as fix misses out we don't have that many weeks before people go on vacation so so like as to what we do, next year essentially, give us a second okay we're going to reconvene and hopefully do something similar we did, with, Update 7 I think where we sort of like explain what we aim to do with you know the next CLE like the next major releases that we have coming, for the game because we sort of need to, like not only are we solving issues with the game, there's also like a couple of things that we need to work out internally as like how we keep working on the game, because it is it is really hard to work in the game the way we have, because I don't know if you guys heard remember this but since update five we decided to split like our Focus so like, there are a lot of things that need to come into the game, that take way longer than the regular time between updates so, a lot of like the system reworks for instance the Unreal Engine update for instance is one of those things where you know that's not something we can fit in the time frame between updates if you know what I mean like when we look at previously When we dropped like update 4 we were like all right cool we dropped update 4 all right what can we make, for the game in the time span in roughly the same time span as between like update three and four right and that's okay we can do this and that's what we work on and then we make update five and now we've deci said like okay let's sort of focus on some of these features and and, systems that need to come into place for us to be able to finish the game that takes longer than just like the time frame between updates, let's let's split the studio so some of them are working on that and some people are working on the stuff that goes into the updates and that's it's been we've been a bit divided and it's kind of tricky, and we sort of like need to figure out like how to better get these two tracks going at the same time, and make the best of our time and, I think, we need to things a bit differently next time I think, for the next update so, so we don't know right now I think we're going to like reconvene a little bit during December, there also like holidays are coming up and we don't have the full, December so like next year I think we're going to be able to plan more and talk about that stuff and that's roughly how it been in the past I believe we've always been like January we plan ahead for the year and then we sort of announce, what we do and take you guys along for the journey and I think it's going to be something similar for that there's going to be a meeting there's going to be two meetings probably, so that's the state of that so like we right now we need to focus on fixmas and then once fixmas is out then we can sort of start thinking about that stuff, so I guess the the answer to that question is really like you know we're we're still in the planning phase of things, cool
