Hey everyone!

Let me start with the obvious: It's been silent around The Farthest View (TFV to keep it short, or just "the game") for quite a while now.

But although I'll admit that communication on my end could need some improvement, I've not been lazy in the meantime.

So why the delay? I'll try to keep the summary short:

1. The main reason: I listened to feedback (conveniently just as I was about to finish the next update). Which eventually made me review the game in its current state. Which yet in turn lead to the decision to make some necessary changes. First step was giving the character artworks a long needed overhaul. In the end I basically redesigned all characters. Which  also meant, updating each and every graphic that somehow was related to a character.
While I was at it, I also rewrote large chunks of the narration and dialogue, added a couple of new scenes and streamlined the whole thing, fixed a (hopefully) a load of bugs, and so on. Needless to say, this took longer than expected.

2. The other reason: At some point during all this I was asked about integrating a multi language version. Naively, I accepted. That experiment ended with almost breaking the whole game. In the end I had to scrap everything and rebuild everything from an ancient backup (the take away lesson: make more frequent backups). That about as much work as you would suspect it to be.

3. Got sick in the middle of it. Kept me from working on the game for a while. I'm sorry about that.

4. The company I worked at for my dayjob imploded (figuratively), so I'd have to move resources from game development to searching for a new source of income (artists need to eat and pay rent too). That process is still ongoing.

I think that's everything? Guess the summary wasn't as short after all.

With all changes and updates and reworks in place, this is as much a continuation as a remake. So I take the liberty to officially call it a Remake (with capital R). Take it as a gift for Easter, if you celebrate. If not, take it as a gift for anthro bunny day.

No changelog this time, since it would just be listing half of the game.

Thanks for your patience and hope you enjoy!

PS: One final note: Your old savegames won't be working anymore after the update, so you will have to start a new game. Which you should do anyway. I promise, it's worth it.

PPS: Contrary to popular belief, creating a game like this involves both time and, sadly, money. So if you like this game, I'll more than appreciate your support on Patreon or Ko-fi. Or just spread the word.
