A major update is in the works for Eldritch Academy! This version of the game will have redrawn art based on the style used for Eldritch University, custom music, and other tweaks to the presentation of the game. The highlights:

• Redrawn character and CG art for a widescreen aspect ratio, in the style of Eldritch University.
• All royalty-free music replaced with custom tracks.
• Date events removed and replaced with new and extended scenes in Acts 1 and 2. (Route determination altered to fit the new scenes.)
• Other tweaks and fixes tied to the above changes.

There isn't a set release window for the update yet, but a demo of the prelude will hopefully be made available soon. Promotional and Achievement art has also been updated to prepare for the update. When the update releases, playing the older versions can be accomplished by opting into the "v1" or "v2" beta branches. Note that while ending completion should carry over between versions, saves are otherwise not likely to be compatible due to the changes in the structure of the game. There will be another announcement when the update is closer to completion. Until then, I hope people look forward to it!
