Hey everyone!

I’m super excited to release v0.2 “Finale” to the public :) This officially concludes the beta-phase of v0.2.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s new in this release:

• Sylvia’s “Rumor” Scene 2.0: I’ve completely revamped the “rumor” scene with Sylvia (not just replacing the old model with the new). For those who’ve already played v0.2, you can check out this new scene in the gallery.

• Bonus chapter (viewable in the gallery): focusing on Sylvia, the hot Spanish teacher (and a “surprise” character). Approximately 8,000 words, which translates to roughly 20-30 minutes of extra gameplay.

• To unlock this new content, just reach the end of v0.2. Pro tip: if you’re impatient, you can skip through the dialogue to get there faster. You’ll find the scene in the gallery.

Minor Tweaks and Trims:

I’ve done some pruning of dialogue and text that felt redundant or didn’t contribute much to the story or character development. This should help keep the pacing nice and tight (and hopefully no save issues!).

About that VO…

I know some of you might be wondering what happened to the voice-over. Here’s the deal: I really felt that the quality wasn’t quite hitting the mark I want for this game. I actually did release a version of v0.2 with all the VO finished, but after some reflection, I believe the game is best enjoyed without it. So, I’ve made the decision to remove all existing VO from the game.

Potential issues with existing save files

Quick heads up about save files! I’ve made some minor behind-the-scenes code tweaks to prevent potential save file corruption in future updates. While I don’t anticipate major problems, the safest approach is to create a new save file and quickly replay through the game, recreating any previous key choices you’ve made. This should help you sidestep any potential compatibility hiccups.

I hope you all enjoy this new update! Can’t wait to hear what you think. Happy gaming! :)
