v1.0.0 - FINAL UPDATE IS HERE

Holy shit we made it. We're at the last major content build. Before I get into things, some important news:

BONUS CONTENT! If you donate at least $5, you'll get access to HQ art PNGs* and a 30-page PDF booklet with character profiles, walkthroughs, and concept art.** This isn't supposed to be DLC—please consider this my thanks for a donation for the base game. All money will go towards future game development and back to the generous Creative Commons artists who made this game possible.

*If there's an art asset not included that you want, let me know on here, Discord, or Twitter, and I'll add it to the zip file!

With that out of the way...

Oh my god. I did not think I would ever see this day. I know a 100k word count is chump numbers for most online serial fiction, but this is probably the biggest thing I've ever made and finished. There will inevitably be some bugs and rough edges on release (pls report bugs HERE), which will likely keep me busy with minor patches for a while. I realize I don't have much to say here except, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to anyone who has supported me in any way. I'll likely have a more lengthy post-mortem and an FAQ coming out in a week or two.

Without further ado:

Changelog:

• About 45k words of new content, again, mostly distributed horizontally across different routes.
  • A quick breakdown of how endings work: Most characters have one "unique" ending where you end the game with them. If you don't get that ending (based on your previous choices), you'll get the "general" ending where Kieran ends up "alone." These endings aren't necessarily "good" or "bad." Check out the bonus content PDF for a more detailed walkthrough regarding the different choices you can make. There's more than one way to get a particular ending.
• About 7 new unlockable CGs that will appear in the gallery. (And some minor ones that won't!)
• Sprites now come with tints in certain lighting conditions.
• Tweaks to some sprites/CGs/backgrounds.
• Fixed some typos and edited some words.

As always, thanks for playing!

**I think I'll have to eventually tone down some of the file sizes, because 100 MB is pretty ridiculous for the number of images.
