Hi fellow engineers, Its already mid of August, hows your summer going? We just participated in The Nightmarket Festival 2022, the first Steam sales event focusing on games from the SEA region. Hoping to bring the energy and joys of night market culture to all of you. We would also like to welcome the new engineers joined us recently. Wish you had an interesting coding experience with AAW. In this update, we improved the dialogue system to allow players to skip any dialogues - even you've never read it before. We also tried to fix the "Soft-lock on reaching Chapter 2" issue that has been bothering us for a long time, and improved the internal timer for smoother playback. If you are still experiencing similar issue, please feel free to ask in the forum or mail us directly. Therere also several minor fixes within the update. Please refer to the following release notes for more details. Thanks again for your kindly support.
