Alpha 0.6 April 17th

Aurum Academy
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This update has been spent mostly learning how to... actually work the Renpy engine! Lots of tweaking on the back end  and over-all improvements.
I also got a little stumped with the last section of this update so I wrote in a little secret scene to try and get rid of the writing block but... Yeah, I'll just fix it later.

Next update I'm aiming for the end of May so I can hopefully make it a lot bigger. Day 2 is definitely NOT going to be split into 6 different parts.

New in this Update

  • Kienan has a sprite update!!! I wanted to see how the temporary sprites would look edited but... eh, new ones are definitely in order. I'll probably only do fresh sprites for the main 20~ish  reoccurring characters.
  • New textbox! Tell me if it looks ok~
  • The game's first ever secret! OooOooOo
  • Definitely unrelated to the above thing, there's now a choice menu in the game! (Only a single choice that comes later in the game will alter the story in any way)
  • 5 new characters! (There's going to be a lot of characters and I am regretting it a little)
  • Added side images to make it more clear who's talking! Only 9 so far~  A little tip is that the color of the character name matches their eye color!

Next Update

  • Day 2, give it up for Siku mbili
  • New location(s), potentially new characters?
  • New CGs and side icons
