Hi gang! Just a short announcement to let you all know that we're still working on the game. :D v1.0.9 is still coming; we're just taking our time to make sure there are no game-breaking bugs that will come along once it's released. We learned our lesson from v1.0.7, after all! :P Here's what we've been doing these past few weeks:

Save files. Despite the fix we've implemented before, a few players still lose their save files/progress when their PC improperly shuts down. When this happens, our saving process is disrupted, causing it to become corrupted. Our lead programmer is working on another fix for this as we speak, and it will be released in v1.0.9. This is a rare bug, but if you're one of the few who's been affected, please send an email to john@yangyangmobile.com so we can help you recover your save files. :)
Grammar check/polishing of Chapter 6.
VA bug fixing of Chapters 5, 6 and 7. The text should match what's being said by the actors.
Bug fixing of branch tree nodes.
Bug fixing of gallery/image related bugs.
A few relationship balancing.
And several other bug fixes and polishing of the game in general.

Moving forward, reward fulfillment for our backers is also underway:

Mobile version of the game (both iOS and Android).
Artbook and soundtrack.
Special content.

CALL TO ARMS!

We're blessed to have very supportive players! ♡ We've been receiving messages from some you, offering to help us check the game's grammar and narrative. We're eternally grateful, and if you're an active member of our Discord, I already mentioned there that we will soon release the game's raw files to all those who are willing to re-read all 700k words of it.

As a token of our appreciation, all volunteers will be added in the game's credits! ♡

What about Translations?

Just like editing, we've been receiving offers from our players to translate the game into different languages! Thank you all so much for offering your time to make The Letter an even better game, and we'll reach out to you again as soon as editing is done! :) --- That's it for today's update!
