Oh, man. Its been a while, innit?
Let's cut right to it. A lot has changed since you last saw the game. I'll try to summarize it all.
-PEA Upgrades functional. One is mostly aesthetic (and maybe a little buggy), the other works as intended.
Bear in mind, this was an earlier version of the scanner upgrade. Current version is slightly different.
-Updated UI for upgrades.
-Character portraits. In an effort to make the game a little less static I added animated portraits to all characters with pertinent dialogue. Some bugs here and there that I cannot seem to reproduce so be warned.
-More snacks. No real reason, just cuz.
-More items in general. Most are required but some are simply junk.
-Rewrote a LOT of dialogue. For the better, I think.
-Lockpicking! Dive a little deeper into the LoTech lifestyle and go analog as you root through people's belongings!
-Added some minor story events to either reinforce narrative or to make things more organic.
-Further proofreading and bug-fixing. The struggle continues.
-More 'jobs'.
Now for the bad news.
-A few residual bugs in the Heat Removal/Payoff script that need hashing out, but should not keep you from exploring/finishing game.
-Some character portraits missing, some text color needs changing.
-Unfinished missions for Fujikawa/Yamato archetypes means only Karasawa characters have access to expanded item market.
-GOLIATH dialogue still unfinished. Might just re-record it altogether.
Two or three minor updates and Chapter 1 is 100%! Which leads me to Chapter 2. I will be adding the page for it shortly so stay tuned.
