Thanks everyone for voting and commenting here and over at VK.com/halfquake on the DLC options! It definitely helped clear everything up. I removed the "coffee" DLC and finished up the remaining three DLCs, including some new drawings for each of their respective store pages. I won't spoil these comics here, so I uploaded an unnecessary blurred image for this post (because why not). :D

The game is now up for review! In the meantime, I'll continue playtesting and adding easter eggs.

I spent several hours brainstorming these new easter eggs by writing my wildest ideas on several pieces of paper (like a mad scientist suffering from a way too hot Summer) and then refining them for practical use. I already implemented two of them (i.e. one of them now lives in hq2_7). I plan not to go too overboard with these hidden surprises, but I'm definitely having way too much fun right now. :D Remember, I'm planning on adding 15 in total, that's 5 for each part. (Spoiler: All of them will just be tiny images in a corner somewhere. Maybe. xD)

Speaking of fun, I also replaced the Britney Spears room at the end of HQA with something else entirely, which I think you're gonna like. (<

This post is a bit short because frankly, the heat is killing me and I only managed to work on this for about ten hours in the past seven days. My PC doesn't like compiling maps at all when it's this hot and I have to keep it shut off because I don't want it (or anyone else in the same room) to die.

Fortunately, I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks to escape from the heat, but for obvious reasons I'm not sure how much time I will have for my own projects. Rest assured, September is going to be a pretty cool month.

By the way, I still don't have a release date in mind. I just want to keep working on what I want to do with this release. Once I know for sure, I'll let you all know!

To everyone else suffering from the heat - hang in there!

To be continued... (<
