A Shot in the Dark Chapter 2 -1st half(V0.15) Speed Up Texting feature update

A Shot in the Dark - Chapter 4
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

The feedback so far for the latest release of A Shot in the Dark has been great and helpful! 

We had already planned prior to the release of V0.15 to implement a way to speed up the texting feature before releasing V0.2. Based on the feedback we've received, we made it our top priority and won't be waiting until V0.2 to make this improvement. 

 A new feature has been added to the Options menu called Speed Up Texting. When toggled on, you no longer see the 3 dots animation and multiple messages appear immediately. 

You will still need to make choices to progress through the texts. We have variables already in place to potentially implement a feature that would allow players to skip conversations entirely, but that becomes tricky with a branching storyline. If our fan community feels it is necessary, then it's something we can explore in the future. 

 The new builds that include the Speed Up Texting feature are already live and available as you can see in this post. If you've already purchased the game and it asks you to purchase it again, please leave a message on this post or come to our Discord so we can give you a copy of the new build.

Let us know what you think. Thank you, as always, for your feedback, patience, and support!
