New Sileo content updates are now available on both Itch.io and Patreon!

This Public release debuts the brand-new remake of the introduction section of the game, featuring the first chapter of the new day 1. This can be accessed via the "Tales from Woodcrest" option on the main menu and will swap places with the existing intro which will remain playable in the Tales menu indefinitely. This update also replaces the hilltop background with a newly drawn version and time-of-day variants and incorporates everything that was made available to Patreon in the 0.48 release. This includes unsynced animations, smooth character portrait transitions, the option to have an audible click when the dialog is advanced, a button on the main menu that will take you to our selection of new merch available at Pawprint Press, a massive slew of typo/grammatical fixes, visual fixes and so, so much more!

Did you know our Patreon now supports subscription billing? That means whenever you sign up during the month, you'll only pay again on the same date the following month! No more double charges and you can now be billed whenever is convenient for you during the month! 

With that in mind, the Patreon version of the 0.49 update contains the brand-new second chapter in the Intro Remake which nearly doubles the amount of content playable! Not only that, but this new sequence puts an interesting twist on the existing canon to make the content so much more entertaining as well as to keep you all on your toes! I'm really proud of how this new sequence has come together, and I can't wait for you all to see it!

We're sorry it's been such a while since the last public update, but rest assured with the changes in our release cycle, we're aiming to release a series of new content updates in a quicker time span than usual to start things off on the right foot! With the massive technical changes that were featured in 0.48 as well as the new improvements in 0.49, this public update is sure to be one of the most significant in quite some time!
