Oh, I disagree, I think he's a great match! ^^
Fig wasn't actually drawn by him though, she was drawn by TheHelmetGuy :B
I don't have a date on the BE update yet, sorry. I'm currently waiting on a GameMaker update and taking care of as much graphical stuff and new dialogue as I can in the meantime. I do post monthly updates on patreon if you'd like to follow the development though! Just about everything on there is public.
