93.75% How very crafty of you, changing the units while keeping the decimal part the same. It took me a long time to notice anything was different at all.

That's right! If everything comes together, it will be just a week or two now.

And I'm going to play coy for a moment in order to share this big news with the faithful bar watchers first.

Almost there! Can't wait! March will be the month my computer meets its maker (in a non-violent, gamey fun time way.)

Wait, is that the JtRH/TCB VA or someone new? Hard to tell from such a short clip.

Given the fact it's big news, I suspect the latter

Whoa, neat. 92.75% suddenly changes to 93.75%, skipping 93%.

Method 1: 549 days (August 3, 2012 to February 3, 2014) ÷ 80.25% (13.5% to 93.75%) = 6.841 days/% (previously 6.854)
⇒ end in 43 days, i. e. on March 18, 2014 (previously March 19, 2014).

Method 2: 649 days (April 25, 2012 to February 3, 2014) ÷ 93.75% (0% to 93.75%) = 6.923 days/% (previously 6.935)
⇒ end in 43 days, i. e. on March 18, 2014 (previously March 19, 2014).

Method 3: 440 days (November 20, 2012 to February 3, 2014) ÷ 77.75% (16% to 93.75%) = 5.659 days/% (previously 5.645)
⇒ end in 35 days, i. e. on March 10, 2014 (previously March 9, 2014).

Method 4: 96 days (October 30, 2013 to February 3, 2014) ÷ 6.65% (87.1% to 93.75%) = 14.436 days/% (previously 17.347)
⇒ end in 90 days, i. e. on May 4, 2014 (previously June 11, 2014).

Yes, it's Sten Ryason, from pre-4.0 days! We were able to get him back for TSS.

Hmm. April 1st is a Tuesday, and not the start of a weekend. That could be bad for my other obligations.

It's kind of sad. Each percentage point will only ever be used for this one, only to be thrown away and never used for this particular purpose again. And when we divide it into smaller, more accurate precise numbers, we are giving each number less time to be experienced. Therefore, I implore that the next full percentage point be given the time it truly deserves. These are just my thoughts right before I go to sleep, however, so those in power can feel free to ignore this.

Ah, the passing of the Bar. A bittersweet moment, shrouded in the mists of time.

These latest bits have been for some minor but necessary level and story restructuring, and for editing of voice recordings. There is a lot of dialogue in TSS, and it takes hours and hours to work through.

We hope to begin internal beta testing in about a week!

Looking forward to hearing all of the talented voice actors we have here! I'm a sucker for good voice acting, and DROD had always been particularly good.

Beethro, 1st Chemist and 1st Archivist are all excellent, so as long as Jobus is less squeaky than in Finding The First Truth (and presumably Perfection, though I couldn't get that far), that's a great main cast. Maybe 84th Negotiator will return as well?

Yes, we have an all-star cast for TSS, if I do say so myself. In addition to the above, Steve Anderson is also back. I'm quite happy with how it's all turning out.

Jobus spoiler alert:

It's been here for a while. It's all fine and good to know how many people solved the new Bar riddle, but unfortunately it also means you don't get to see the current click number in the message (if, e.g. it's 32,767).
