Hiya! Build 0.13 is out now!
This update concludes the Accept - Daren route. This also means that the entirety of the Accept path is completed! All that's left will be the reject routes.
This update is 15,000 words long, and it's split between three subroutes depending on who you chose to call at the end of the previous build. The route branches are for Sean, Marshall, and Tracy.
There is one new music track for the ending screen. I would've liked to have made more but was not able to.
There are two new cgs, both of which I think Sarah did an awesome job with. Some characters have new expression sprites as well. And, although his sprite is only in the character bio screen, Meimaru's sprite has been given a makeover.
Speaking of the character bio screens, I have completely redone them. They're no longer just a .png file. They are their own menus with buttons you can click. With that said, I removed some planned features for this update since I didn't have enough time to bugfix everything, and it was really clunky the way it was unfortunately. Ideally I'll have that all working for next update. Oh, and as another note, character entries will be greyed out until you've met the character either in-game or in a side story. Unfortunately, you'll either have to go back through the beginning and skip through, or you can go through side stories again to unlock them. This change was made because someone pointed out that they got spoiled on a character with how the old screens used to work. The character bio menu is still going to be locked until you complete a route for the time being.
Oh, I almost forgot. I edited the credits page to avoid confusion. People who have contributed stuff but are not part of the team are now listed under Special Thanks. Aside from that, the team is just me and Sarah. I'm also throwing Jad in there as well whether he likes it or not because his proofreading is very useful.
Anyways, I'm not 100% sure which route I'll work on next. It's a tough choice since all 5 routes have things that make them special. I'm thinking I might go for Reject - Marshall route next.
Oh, and since I realized I haven't posted it yet, here's the results for people's favorite and least-favorite characters after the last update.
Also a majority of people voted for keeping the comments section the way it is, so that is what shall be done.
Anyways, enjoy! And let me know if you have any issues and I shall try to fix them.
