Thank you so much everyone for your incredible support since my post on Saturday about

. I genuinely could never have imagined that the target could be reached in less than a week (3 days and 20 hours to be exact)! And I'm thankful for the trust that both my new and existing patrons have put in my ability to take this project to the next level.
As promised, now that the milestone has been reached, from now on I will be able to treat LifePlay as a part-time job and dedicate at least 30 hours a week (or 60 hours each update) to working on it. More importantly, as soon as v2.19 (Sex Expressions and UI) is released this weekend, I will immediately start working on LifePlay 3.0. This AI and Interaction Overhaul, as described in

, will be completed over 5 updates finishing on 2 May, scheduled for release as follows:
- 7 March: v3.0 Beta 1
- 21 March: v3.0 Beta 2
- 4 April: v3.0 Beta 3
- 18 April: v3.0 Beta 4
- 2 May: v3.0 Stable
I will post more details about exactly what new features from the AI and Interaction Overhaul can be expected in each update one week before the respective ETA's above. Similar to the character model overhaul last year, even though the first 4 updates of this overhaul are marked as 'beta' (meaning some WIP stuffs and some possible bugs), the aim is to keep the game as playable as possible during this 'beta' period and allow players to test the new features from the overhaul right away so that they can be improved and polished by the time v3.0 Stable comes around.
Thank you again for all your support, without which, this ambitious overhaul wouldn't have been becoming a reality so soon!
