> This is the 2nd pass of the chapter 03. It does not contain a lot of new content, but it does contain a good amount. Also, it contains a lot of improvement all around, including stability and performance. This was the 1st sprint after my forced pause, it was very challenging, but i've managed to keep progressing. So, here it is. Enjoy!

> This is some work after 0.4.0 . Life got busy and stuff happened. And it made sense to publish a new DevLog with the bits and pieces i've collected. Before starting the new sprint. There were tons of things going on outside this project. Which made it really hard to make progress (if any progress at all). Anyway, i tried my best, and decided to at least push to keep momentum. That proved to be hard and even impossible at times. But i've managed to do a bunch of .... stuff, which led to a lot of interesting improvements and additions. So, i'm making this devlog to start the build with from a more stable point. And also because a lot of time has passed and i feel it'd be nice if i give an update. The build published won't have any new content, but it will have all these improvements.

------ Game
> This was a very challenging sprint for external and internal reasons. Since this is the "last" chapter of the story, i decided to do many things differently. That includes changing the scheduling method. So it took way more than usual, but i think it was worth it. So everything is quite barebones and possibly confusing. Enjoy! > Important note: The button for erasing a save slot does not ask for confirmation! (That's on TO-DO) > Important note: Compared to version 0.4.0.4, version 0.4.0.8 has less testing and a couple considerable changes, so it's deemed more likely to have issues. Yet 0.4.0.8 fixes a couple really important features, and adds some interesting features. So i highly recommend trying 0.4.0.8. But if you were to have issues with that, please try 0.4.0.4.

New devlog! A month passed since the 1st release, i've re-scheduled the scope and all. I've made a lots of changes and a new build is ready. The goal of this "sprint" was to do a 2nd pass of the Chapter 01 (Whatever works). Mainly focused on quality rather than adding more content or systems. I did managed to implement a couple new systems including the dynamic music and flashback system. The next sprint (to begin in one week's time) has the goal to rework the Chapter 00 (Intention), which is a stub atm. (And also ue 5.3) Here's the video version: [previewyoutube=e_g2lzSWzzU;full]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_g2lzSWzzU[/previewyoutube] Thanks for playing and please send me your feedback Notes: * In case you're interested there's a changelog.txt along the game files, with all the commits. * There's a known issue that happens randomly, where the music stays muted when starting the chapter 01. Which is what i wanted to showcase, so maybe i'll do a hot-fix build at some point.
