Progress on Pivot of Hearts is slow but steady, we are on our way to finish three out of four chapters.

However, we also did several improvements to the game as a whole and we think the demo deserves some love as well. As such, this patch backports these improvements for all of you to enjoy while playing our free demo ;)

Here are the main changes:

• Added
  
  
  • Experimental lip-flapping support (only in one place for now - can you find it?)
    
  • More Wn sprite expressions
    
  • Brbara's sillouette when she send voice messages in first scene (see gif above!)
    
  • Expression variations to Artist Ana's sprites
    
  • Cool SFX now play when characters speak
    
  
  
• Changed
  
  
  • Assets and scene scripts are now packaged for reduced build size
    
  • Make most text pauses in Chapter 1 end automatically after a delay
    
  • Brbara's tarot tutorial options become hidden after you choose them
    
  • Tutorial order can be chosen by player
    
  • Transition animations changed to real dates instead of "Week X"
    
  • Frames for card animations replaced with smaller resolution to load faster
    
  
  
• Fixed
  
  
  • Some sprites with graphical issues
    
  • Dozens of typos and other minor mistakes
    
  • "Indcios" BGM not looping as it should
    
  • All clocks and time references
    
  • Crashes on flashback scene
    
  • Going back from drop-down menu wrongly taking you to pause menu
    
  • Missing translations for suit tooltips

This is the much awaited Brazilian-Portuguese patch for the Pivot of Hearts demo! You can now play the entire demo in the same language the characters of the story speak ;)

There are also some internal improvements that shouldn't change the usual gameplay experience, but that make our lives much easier! XD

Here's the first patch for the demo of Pivot of Hearts, version 0.7.0!!

The highlights among the changes are:

• New cursor
  
• New animations when characters win or lose love points!
  
• Fixes to keyboard and gamepad UI navigation
  
• Fix crash when seeing a phone chat during auto mode
  
• And a few other minor corrections here and there =)
