v0.2.6

• 10,659 words of story have been added to Chapter 4!

• 3 New background illustrations
• 3 New sprites for Sidd
• 2 New sprite animations for Sidd
• 2 New Sprites for Calder
• 3 New sprite animations for Calder
• 6 New creature sprites
• 1 New spellcasting VFX animation
• 1 New attack VFX animation
• Small UI Fixes:
  • The dialogue arrow buttons now disappear alongside the dialogue box and will now be less intrusive during CG scenes.
  • Previously some folks found it hard to distinguish between the save/load buttons. The arrow on the Load Button now points up instead of down for more visual clarity.
• v0.2.5.6 Hotfix
  • Combed through the entire VN fixing instances where sprite animations could be interrupted by the reader skipping dialogue or clicking too quickly, causing unfortunate scenes like the one below. I’ve checked through every single scene in the VN to fix them one-by-one and I think I got them all, but let me know if you run into any I missed ;w;/
  • Massive sprite animation pass for Chapter 3. All character sprites now consistently perform a small flourish animation when speaking in accordance to their dialogue, as is consistent with my modern VN builds.
  • Diversified sound clip usage in Chapter 3 and reduced the instances of “surprise.ogg” from 105 to 33.
  • Massive bugfix sweep throughout the VN to fix miscellaneous instances where coding was slightly off, resulting in broken sound bytes or animations playing slightly incorrectly.
  • Grammar/typo fixes.
  • Adjusted the first conversation between Agatha and Calder in Chapter 3 to be slightly less antagonistic.
  • Sidd no longer bonks Calder on the head with a baguette after their little heart-to-heart in Chapter 4. He instead gently pokes him into his chair. It felt a little insensitive to hit the guy right after learning hints about his abusive background.

  • Another grammar/typo pass. Thank you to all who have sent screenshots of such errors on the Discord server and itch page!
  • The entirety of Chapter 2 has received a sprite animation pass. Character sprites should now move more dynamically in conversations, as you’ve seen in my more recent VN builds.
  • Blurs have been added to certain backgrounds to prevent them from clashing with sprite artwork.
