Hello all! After what seems like forever, I've finally got the time to talk about everything that's been going on recently and to get everyone up to speed with a number of things.

First off I'd like to say a huge thanks to everyone who's continued to support both me and Claustrophobia even while I appeared to vanish off the face of the Earth. Recently I had to take a small hiatus from Claustrophobia in favour of my University coursework, which has pretty much dominated my life these past few months. Thankfully, I have nearly finished this work and can return to Claustrophobia soon. Which leads me nicely onto what's next for the game!

Firstly, Claustrophobia now has an artist, Kyle Sun. Kyle joined the project a couple of months ago, and has been working hard to pick up from where I left off. With graphics in his capable hands, I can focus entirely on content and feature creation.

So what's next for Claustrophobia? Well, among other things, the next patch will feature:

• The Crypts: An all new dungeon!
  
• Visual Tiered Equipment
  
• Female Hairstyles
  
• Passive Effects on Weapons

With Christmas rapidly approaching, I can't give an exact time for this patch, but I hope to see it out towards the end of December / start of January.

Thank you for reading, and if you have any queries, please let me know!

Cheers,
Dan
