This Winter of Ours - Out Now!

This Winter of Ours is finally out! We’ve been working away at polishing and fleshing out the game while retaining its core essence from the original itch.io release back in January and we’re so excited to show you the results! For those of you who already played the itch.io version, we have a lot of patch notes and I'm sure I'm forgetting something:

UI

• ‘Devnotes’ moved into extras menu

• Shrunk the cursor

• Tweaks to history and help screen

• Slightly revamped controller support

Extras

• Dev Notes

  • Removed a line at the top

• Added Music Room

• Added Scene Replay

• Added Gallery

• Credits

  • Moved to extras tab

  • Reformatted

• Added Bonus Scenes (See bonus scenes section)

Art

• Added variant for the creature cg

• Added second creature cg

• sprites

  • 1 new pose and some new expressions for Delia and Lux

• New forest BG

• Replaced forest clearing bg (having more than one background for the first half of the game makes it feel way more lifelike, who would’ve thought?)

Music

• 2 new bonus tracks, ‘The Merchant of Slatebrook’ and ‘Meowing at the Moon(Alone but not lonely)’

Gameplay

• Added ‘zio’ and ‘agi’ effect

• Adjusted lots of camera angles and effects to make the whole thing more dynamic

• Added all the new assets in (as opposed to just doing nothing with them)

Misc

• Added Discord Rich Presence

• New exe icon

• Chinese translation (thanks to Sakura Origami and Ukiny)

• Now runs on RenPy 8.5 instead of 8.3.7 (this should change absolutely nothing)

Now, that isn’t quite everything. You’ll be seeing a couple small updates in the coming weeks:

• Bug fixes I love bug fixes bug fixes are so cool!

• Spanish translation

• Soundtrack (monday at the latest)

• Extending a couple tracks on said soundtrack

• Maybe a sequel someday. We haven’t decided yet.

We really hope you have fun playing! Hopefully our next project is even more awesome.
