Hello everyone and welcome to our end of week devlog!

It's good to be back on a normal schedule again!

This week has seen the end of the refactoring process! The new robust systems will be merged in with the master branch over the course of today and tomorrow. Aside from the couple expected commit collisions, everything seems to be going smoothly.

Alongside the refactoring, Sonja and Lilith have both received their new casual outfits! These outfits will be worn during their downtime in Sonja's apartment.

These will not be the only alt costumes Sonja and Lilith will be seen in, but that will need to wait till the full game!

You won't need to wait long to see Sonja's apartment, at the rate the Hell's Kitchen area is going we may see Sonja's high class domain before the month is done! Jay has been doing amazing work with the area, especially the apartment building itself.

After the apartment building was fully blocked out, we moved onto the last of the surrounding buildings, the metal bar "Pet Cemetery".

The buildings blockouts are now all done, in the coming week we will move onto the materials and smaller details of the buildings.

Tomorrow will be the launch of the Patreon, so for this devlog I will go through the reward tiers you can expect when you support the project!

$5 - Civilian

This is the lowest tier we have, but is not without rewards! This will gain you access to a weekly unreal dev tips blog hosted by our new tech artist! Along with a thank you note from us for helping put food on all of our tables. Thank you!

$10 - Hunter

This tier will get your name in the credits for Dead Heat, forever enshrining your status as a real stand up guy! This will be bunched with all previous rewards.

$20 - Thunderhead

This role grants you restricted access to dev voice chats and discord streams! Every week, we will be streaming development of Dead Heat on our discord server. This role will allow you to sit in and watch us work! This will be bunched with all previous rewards.

$30 - Alexandrian

This role will grant you access to a restricted part of the discord server, a private club for the big donator where you will be granted access to view concept art, access to monthly votes on new features and receive a digital copy of Dead Heat on release. Of course, this will be bunched with all previous rewards.

$50 - Officer

What could possibly top that last one? Well, how does access to milestone builds of the game sound? You will get your hands on major milestone builds to try out and give your feedback! Along with all previous rewards.

$50 will be the maximum we can reward up to at this point in time, as we are trying to save physical rewards for when we can ensure their completion, either through a later kickstarter or through the addition of further tiers if this Patreon does very well.

The Patreon will be going live tomorrow evening. If you're in any way interested in the project and would love to see it come to fruition, please consider donating! Every little help's the project and gets Dead Heat closer to becoming a reality!

Thank you for reading!
