addedBuild 1.1 Changes: - All 11 sprites have gotten a glow-up! - Sneak peek for Bobbi's route is coded in! - The conversion between Emrys and Eva if she convince him to stay at the Sanctum while Mystia is away has been greatly enhance. It allows Eva time to process recent events. (Emrys' Route) - Choices for Emrys now track affection points! Have too few, and things may go sour when the Eva and Em are alone at the hot springs (Emrys' Route) - 1 new Bobbi CG! (Common Route) - The content warnings for the game have been adjusted to reflect concerns from a review; I also set some of the more spoiler-y achievements to hidden - Minor bug fix
fixedRegarding the sprite art: Royan and I heard your feedback about things looking uneven and a little AI-like and we feel confident we've addressed your concerns. The consistency has been greatly approved; everyone now matches the grittier aspects of the story. Royan has also made sure to include more visible brushstrokes and enhanced some facial features to be more expressive. He also has had time to redo some of the things I sloppily pieced together to save time - namely the outfit changes for Emrys and Jensen. Big thank you to Royan!
addedHere are some screenshots of the new cast:

With Bobbi's route, I still hope to release the full version within the next few weeks! We had some delays but I was able to get the first couple of chapters into this update. There is now a big choice about a third of the way through the story - whether to go to Astraela with Emrys or stay on Earth with Bobbi!
