Compressed and android versions.
I’ve come up with a different approach to compressing images and animations. Now the size of compressed versions (android) will be smaller, but the quality will be a bit higher than was before. In a future (or after 0.21) update, I will work on a regular version. It’s size could be reduced by +-30-35%, while maintaining 99% of the quality.

Hint system has been reworked.
Now for each character they are checked and assigned depending on the current game moment, not the quest in which they were assigned earlier.

NOTE: I tried my best to check everything, but it’s hard to catch each bug. If you see anything weird with hints – please report it.

NOTE: After thinking about android version creation, I came to the conclusion to leave only version, with compressed images will be the best option. Since the game engine has limited capacity to 2Gb, reduce size without affecting quality with each update will be increasingly difficult.

If at any point you feel the quality is too low, please report it.
