Repeated intro

Hey everyone! So some big news. June 5th marked the 6 month date since Escape: Sierra Leone hit Steam as an Early Access title. So far I'm more or less on target for a Q4 2017 full release later this year. The next update is gonna be a big one, but could easily take over a month. 0.9.0.0 is going to introduce a lot more non-hostile NPC's, more story elements, and another method of escape or two. I may have an interim update in there as well, if serious bugs are encountered, or I have pressing new features I want to push out ASAP. Thanks everyone for all the support so far, I'd like to think I've had good progress for someone working solo with two other jobs, and the feedback I've been getting has been a big part of that. At some point soon I'll be holding a contest where you can win Steam wallet cash and/or free Steam keys to give to friends in return for your feedback on a survey. Thanks again, check out the change log for the new build below.
