Hi everyone! I hope you had a pleasant weekend! 😊

Tak and I have been hard at work creating content for the next update, and I would like to share our progress so far.

For this update, we have created 10 new scenes.

Due to some hardware issues I experienced recently, only 1 of those scenes has been rendered so far. My plan was to get an RTX card to fix this but unfortunately, I wasn't able to. Luckily I resolved the issue caused by my current GTX 1660 card, so rendering should be manageable again.

Everything for the next update is set. All that's left are the renders.

I will try to finish them in the coming week, if my PC allows me haha

While I'm doing this, Tak has already begun work on creating dialogues for v0.4.2 (The update after this one).

Some other changes I've made to the game for the coming v0.4.1 update:

- Fixed an issue where you sometimes couldn't skip dialogue by clicking on the rendered image

- Added a home button to allow the player to quickly travel back to the house without navigating to the map screen. 

- Redesigned some UI Elements

- Quest System Overhaul/Upgrade. This would have taken several hours (or days) to implement but thanks to this Unit Asset https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/play-mode-save-177452 , I was able to finish this within 2 hours. I bought the asset using the donations from my Patrons and itch.io members. So thanks guys! 😊

- Modified the character name input menu for use with all characters. (This was something that was needed for one of the new quests)

- Added/Updated character idle renders.

- Fixed the Load Game issue from the in-game pause menu. (You can now load a save game from the pause menu)

- Fixed Menu Buttons that stopped working after Save System changes.

- Added an in-game dialogue history log. (I also added an experimental feature in the history log that allows you to replay previous lines in the dialogue, but I might not include that in this update.)

- Fixed a dialogue history bug where the player name wasn't displaying.

- Save Files are now sorted by date, starting from the most recent.

- Added more background songs.

- Some Dialogue System improvements

- Updated some old/previous dialogues

Thanks again as always for your support,

Take care and stay safe! 💜💜💜
