Tranquil Tempest Chapter 1 Released!

I'm happy to announce the release of Chapter 1 of Tranquil Tempest. For those of you who already played the demo, there is no additional story yet, but this was a necessary step towards Chapter 2. What you might find different:

• Chalant sprites:  The big one. Juni and the whole cast are now updated, and expressing their emotions with their faces, no more "I hate your guts" while going  😐
• Visuals++: New backgrounds and images were added and wrinkles were ironed out with existing art. New CG when MC remembers her childhood friend.
• Typos fixed, Rewrites. includes 1 or 2 new dialogue choices
• The directory name was changed (dropped the 'demo' part which was a bad idea in the first place) so old saves from the demo won't work correctly. Sorry! From now on I will try not to change it again.
• For now the "glimpses ahead" will stay at the end of the chapter, but I'll probably get rid of them in chapter 2 as the story progresses.

  As I also wrote on the game's page, I plan on releasing TT episodically, chapter by chapter.  Chapter 1 might get silent updates with small fixes, but when Chapter 2 comes out, it will contain considerably more of the story. I've decided on this way of releasing it because I've already worked many years without anyone seeing any of it. Even if it's not completely polished, I'd  rather get feedback now to encourage me to keep working. It's a sort of early access.

It is likely that I'll only finish the main 3 storylines (Riley, Kiran, Harlow) and any additional routes will come once the game is finished.

All in all, not a huge update, but I wanted to mark the release of Chapter 1 somehow. If you've already played the demo, you might just want to take a quick look at the updated screenshots, but if you haven't played it yet, now is a great time to try it!

Looking forward to your feedback, it means the world to me! 🤍
