Beta 0.3 Delayed - 2 Months

Hey everyone-
As you can see by the title, I've decided that it's best to delay Beta 0.3 by roughly 2 months. Let me explain the reasoning for this decision.
== Lack of NSFW Content ==
Over the past couple of months, a lot of time has been spent working on characters. ZR2 will have a very diverse roster of characters and getting them created takes time.
This means that more NSFW content hasn't really kicked off just yet. However, that's beginning to change now. I've recently sent Scarlett the details for Stacy's first NSFW scene and for the next couple of months, NSFW scenes will be the only content I'm sending to her since there's a sufficient backlog of characters already designed now.
Before the delay, the only NSFW 'scene' was going to be a massage with Jenny and while it's a nice little build up scene into future NSFW content, it's not very erotic or exciting to have it's own update for.
== Short Time Frame ==
I'm happy with how this build has progressed for the most part but releasing monthly updates for these past two ZR2 updates has limited how much I can do.
The introduction of Lucy for instance, I wasn't originally going to have time to add in. With a delay, I don't think anything I originally had planned will need to get halted now.
Some people told me they'd rather see me take my time with updates so that they feel more meaningful and in this instance, I heavily agree.
In the future, I think I'm done trying to do month to month updates. In the euphoria of planning, I severely underestimate the time it takes for everything to come together. I'm sorry for prematurely announcing this update. I'm going to work on avoiding this issue for future updates.
== Why 2 Months? ==
Originally, the contents of this update were going to be in Beta 0.2 but I split the releases and planned back to back updates to fix my own 'schedule'. If I release Beta 0.3 next month, my rotational schedule isn't fixed as I'm trying to release a ToP, HC, AND ZR2 update in the same month. That's not a good time...
Giving this update 2 more months should also hopefully allow Scarlett plenty of time to work on these NSFW scenes. They take a bit longer than character designs so I don't want to rush this process.
== Patreon Charges ==
I want to stress that there will be no update this month. So any Patrons who wish to adjust their pledged amounts before the end of month charging begins in a couple days should have enough time to do so!
Remember, NO $5+ or $10/$15+ rewards this month.
=====
I know a delay is never the news anyone wants to hear and it's news that I hate having to announce but I don't think a delay is worth doing unless the game really needs it. I'm deeply sorry as I know this news will be disappointing to some who were expecting a very different update today.
In this case, I think giving ZR2 Beta 0.3 two more months of time will really help the update shine and give it the amount of time it needs.
In the mean time, I will reveal a new character, Nadia, tomorrow for $1+ Patrons since I now have enough time to include her as well in this update. I will also share NSFW sneak peeks of the new scenes as I start receiving sketches from Scarlett.
Sorry for the bad news. Thank you to everyone for your understanding. I will see you soon with more info for Beta 0.3!

Is there a link to HC 👀
So, for clarification, we can expect and update around the end of July? Will there be more NSFW content in that update? :)
