Hi folks,
Last month, we've had the 5th anniversary of our premiere with v0.1 back in July 2020. The team composition has varied a bit throughout the years, but we're very proud we're still here and working to provide you with the best visual novel we can. On this occasion, I'm coming back to you with not one, but two news.
One is that v0.49 - Jørgen is now out on Itch - it's another chapter of the bat's story, forking into two paths, going almost all the way to the end of day four. The rest of his day 4, along with the entirety of Lake's update, is still in the works and should be out on Patreon around the end of August.
The other is that Dawn Chorus now has a legacy mode! If you've missed our previous iteration of sprites, also done by Haku, or you're up for a bit of nostalgia, or you're simply curious: now in the game menu in Preferences, on the left you'll find INSERT CODE. Input the code legacy there and you'll see a new option in Preferences - a switch to the old set of sprites. A word of warning - turning legacy mode on or off will restart the app. The old sprites might not be compliant with SFW mode. We're working on that at the moment, but the implementation of everything was time and effort-intensive - me ans Sqee were working on it jointly for the last two weeks now.
And that's all for now! I wish you happy reading, and thank you for sticking with us for 5+ years now!
