Had to spend some time testing out/fixing a few unforseen issues that popped up with functionality of the cutscenes from last time around, but otherwise made decent progress.
As a reminder, cutscenes are all of different lengths and content density; roughly the same amount of work is being done each week regardless of the actual number going down.
Still by far on track for 2023!

As a final note, thank you for one year and I'm looking forward to what the next year holds!
It was brought to my attention that supporter packs were granting university managers instead of academy managers.
This has been fixed in this update. If you have purchased a pack and redeemed it, you will still get the academy managers on top of the university managers you already received. Just a minor bonus for this slight hiccup.
