Hello guys!

Last month, I couldn't release a news post due to being overwhelmed on all fronts.

Let me tell you everything step by step.

Regarding the news:

• I finally finished working on version 0.2.2, especially on the sound, so the patch is already here. I will provide more details about this below since not everyone is aware of the latest changes.
• Also, for the past 2-3 weeks, I have been actively searching for someone who could proofread version 0.1 and correct the errors. I found such a person, and currently, they are helping me with fixing version 0.1.  The guy is awesome and has promised to fix the issues with version 0.1, but I have no idea how things will go from here. I'll keep you posted.

I really hope this can somehow positively impact the perception of the project.

Regarding changes and patch releases:

• This decision was very difficult for me; I hesitated for a long time, but it seems to be the most optimal solution.

  Now, patches will be released in sandbox mode instead of the previous VN mode.

  This means that instead of 0.1 (800 - 1000 renders) per patch, now there will be 0.0.1 (150 - 300 renders) per patch. Firstly, this will reduce my stress from not releasing anything for a long time. Secondly, you will be able to get content more frequently. The plan is to release at least one patch every two months.

• Prices for sponsors have been changed:

  The newest update will be available to 👹◻️Maniac sponsors. The update will be available for a month, after which it will gradually become available to 🎟️▪️Supporter level sponsors. It will remain exclusive to 🎟️▪️Supporter until a new patch replaces it, at which point it will become available for public access.

• Regarding the VN version:

  I have no intention of abandoning the VN version, but we will have to wait a bit until there are enough new events to make it look more cohesive.

  The plan is to release the VN version every 2-3 patches. (This does not apply to sponsors; if you want to see a raw version of the VN, just message me and I'll provide it for you.)

Patch Release:

• The patch release is already published.  (Link)

  What awaits you in this patch:

  Many voted for the Twins and Elice as well as Morgane and Lilly. Therefore, by the end of version 0.3, I want to share something about them and advance their questline.

  With Elice, everything is quite simple, which I cannot say about the Twins, about whom you know absolutely nothing. Therefore, we will have to use someone familiar to all of us, Palmyra.

  Patch 0.2.2 is more of a preparation for upcoming events.

Additionally, a major event is associated with a new location.

Changelog:

• A new location has been added to the university: At the moment, it's empty, but there are plenty of ideas. I'd love to work on it, but time is tight. When the time comes, I'll definitely add the opportunity to interact with the characters who frequent this location.
• The ability to interact with Morgane and the twins in the relaxation room: After a certain quest, you will be able to interact with Morgane and the twins.
• Some character icons have been changed and new ones have been added: There were issues with understanding who is speaking with whom. Therefore, it was decided to use icons of the respective characters instead of the stranger's icon, with the name 'Unknown' if we don't know them.
• Global University Map Added: Similar to what we have on the smartphone, but global.
• Quick Travel Feature Added: Now, the map application on your smartphone allows you to quickly move between locations
• Added 4 animated emotions for each character: Morgane, both Twins, and Palmira in the supermarket. This applies to dialogue events.
• Added a new H scene with Milla: New button - some variability.

  Renders: 201 new renders

  Animation: 21 new animations 

  Sounds:  11 new sounds 

  Music: 3 new sounds 

  That's all for now, guys.
  See you in the next patch.
