It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here!
Apologies for those who saw my X post and saw that I was planning a Halloween release. We updated the character sprites to be full-body but as a result, a lot of transforms and positions earlier in the novel broke requiring me to go through from start to finish and hand-tune certain scenes. June in particular since her new sprite is like 70% tail now hah.
A particularly big issue I've had besides life stuff was repeated bouts of writers block. When you sit in front of a screen for an hour and produce maybe a few sentences, it can kill your enthusiasm and confidence. I feel I've broken through several barriers but it came at a cost of needing to revise earlier parts of the novel.
Specifically, there is a plot point between Joseph and June. Without going into spoilers (although it likely doesn't really matter at this point) June and Joseph were up to something on the Sylvia which is partially why the technical issues occurred. This plot point was introduced at a point when I was trying to get some mystery and drama, but it ended up not really working/actively hindering the plot further down the line once I got round to needing to pay it off. So I have removed that plot point, although the Sylvia still experiences technical issues and the blackouts still occur.
I also improved the appearance of "voices" in certain parts (you'll know it when you see them) so it doesn't hide the dialogue window.
Hope you all enjoy!
