Barring any major bugs, this is the official release version of the game!
There have been a few minor changes since 0.99:
- All menus have enhanced hover highlighting, changing color, outline and size of text you are hovering over. This makes playing with a game pad easier, in anticipation of Steam Deck support. (the game runs great on Steam Deck by the way if you launch it using "sitar.sh", now all I need to do is get it on Steam)
- Opening screen has been changed in subtle ways, Date Ariane Games logo is in the lower left corner, Rebecca has been added to the crowd, and the mystery naked jogger is naked and blurry.
- All 5 chapters of Rachel Meets Ariane are now fully voiced. If you don't like the AI created voices you can turn down the volume in Preferences. Future updates of the game will include more sections with voice until the game is completely voiced, but I didn't want to delay the public release for that. The game is only being released on itch.io for now because you can download free updates easily, and the site store is difficult to update.
- While voicing RMA I needed to change several lines for grammar, and added some audio effects. Android version does not have voice so it doesn't hog memory on your device, but the same grammar rewrites and audio effects have been added to Android version.
