Hey, everyone!

Our August Public Update is now available for download.

Now you might have noticed that last month's Patreon build took a while to release, only coming out a few days ago. Because of this, this content will be spending a little bit more time on Patreon before we release it publicly. This is to say that today's update contains no new content.

It does however contain a bunch of fixes and improvements resulting from the development of our browser-based release as well as the upgrade to Ren'Py 7.5. Those are all present. At this stage, we expect to release the new content alongside the browser-based client later on this month. 

Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoy the improvements that come with this version, and we'll be back later in the month with a more exciting update to sink your teeth into! (Or if you just can't wait, get it now over on Patreon!)

Changelog:

• Ren'Py Updated to version 7.5.1.22070801 (July 8th, 2022). This is the first public release based on Ren'Py 7.5. 
• Adds four brand new expressions for Roo. 
• Adjusted Glenn's character portrait to more closely match Roo's and Roux's in positioning. 
• Xevvy let his "kiwi" slip on Day 4. No evidence remains. 
• Fixed a missing silhouette for Spencer on Day 10 of Diego's Route. 
• Small adjustments on Days 11 and 16 of Tai's Route to better fall in line with established lore. 
• Corrections to numerous misaligned portraits, as well as a missing silhouette on Day 1. 
• Fixes an instance where Adrian is wearing the wrong clothing on Diego's route Day 12. 
• Fixes a plot inconsistency in Diego's route Day 12. 
• Updated the following backgrounds and all their variants from superior quality sources. Most also have small improvements, alterations, and variances. 
  • Waterfront 
  • Train Station 
  • Suburbs 
• Xevvy ADHD'd hard and redrew/repainted much of Diego's Living Room to address the worst artifacts and other issues resulting from this BG having been AI upscaled from a 720p source. 
• Persistent data (IE: Gallery unlocks) are now manually saved every time the game reaches a new chapter. This fixes a web-specific issue, but should also improve overall gallery unlock reliability. 
• Subtle fixes to the character nameplate and color bar to address a web-specific issue, this happens to correct a small misalignment that has been present ever since the new UI was introduced. 
• Other minor corrections and improvements.
