Hello, folks.

As I mentioned previously, I’m heading to Brazil tomorrow. I’ll be spending a couple of weeks there with family and friends, which I think will help me process everything and recharge a bit.

But I won’t leave you empty-handed.

This week, I completed the first full revision pass, and I’m happy to say that the beta PDF is now available.

I’ve sent it to the proofreader, and while she works her magic, you can already dive into this version. I’ll be collecting typos, inconsistencies, and any small issues you might find, and then I’ll move into a second revision pass before finalizing the PDF.

At this stage, all the text is complete and all tables are in. The only things still missing are:

The digital version is distributed via Itch.io. Backers will receive access through an exclusive link (see below).

To make sure everything works smoothly, you’ll need:

I’ve done everything I can to make this seamless, but sometimes technology behaves like wild magic. If you run into any issues, don’t worry. Just reach out to me by email, and I’ll provide you with a direct download key.

You’ll find both the access link and my email address in the exclusive backer content right after my sign-off.

Before reaching out, just double-check that you’re logged into Itch.io with the correct email—that solves most cases.

Over the next two weeks, I won’t be able to push development much further due to limited computer access. That said, I’ll do my best to stay responsive. If you have feedback, questions, or spot anything in the PDF, feel free to leave a comment here or send me a message.

I also want to thank you for the kind words on the last update. It’s still a difficult moment for me and my wife, and we’re taking it one day at a time. The support from you all has genuinely helped more than I can put into words.

Thank you for that.

I hope you enjoy the beta PDF, and I’ll see you soon.

Take care,

—Cezar
