0.3.0 is a major content update!

Unfortunately, old saves will not be compatible with this update!

New Stuff

 - New scenes for week 1

    - New class events

    - New Video Zone shift

    - New Heart Events!

       - Current contacts are Sarah, Roy, Eckhart, Amy and Kara (can reach heart level 1 with each)

    - Rec. Center is now accessible (The cafeteria and gym are pretty sparse, but will be populated with NPCs in a future update)

    - New minor artifact

 - Combat Rework

    - Kiting! Movement not used before acting is now usable after acting (enemies cannot do this)

    - Enemy AI improvements (smarter positioning, mostly)

    - Every enemy and fight has been rebalanced

    - Combat cursor improved (movement and animations)

    - New facial expression sets for contacts

    - Redone sprites for shades (less cute)

    - Map name popups are fancier.

    - Empty map tiles now match the color of map edge tiles (no more jarring black borders on inside maps)
