Hello everyone! In preparation for the Steam Visual Novel Fest, we've pushed an update to the demo to make sure it's extra polished up and ready to be scrutinized. Special thanks goes to all the streamers who played the demo in the past few days after our Keymailer campaign! Tuning into their streams is what ended up helping us find some of the last few hidden little typos and bugs that we're fixing in this patch. You can find and watch their VODs here, so go check out their reactions to the demo and give them some love! Now for the informational part:
AJG Demo 2.1 Changelog
Programming:
- Updated to a newer version of Ren'Py. - Fixed several incompatability issues that came up. (Shoutout to renpytom for fixing one of these on the engine side!!) - Fixed the line "And I'm... being hugged." getting skipped past automatically after 2 seconds.
Writing:
- Fixed typos: "actuall" to "actually", "from all side" to "from all sides", "lifegaurds" to "lifeguards". - Added em dashes to the font and switched from hyphens to em dashes where appropriate.
