0.5.30 Preview Remake Release [Public Release]

Hey everyone!

Download Link for 0.5.30 (Windows): [Download]
Download Link for 0.5.30 (Mac): [Download] (You might need to do Shift+S and re-load the game one time to apply the fix! I'll try to improve this in the future!)

JOIPLAY NOTE: Please use plugin version 8.3.2! Users reported better experience with that version.

MAC USERS: Good news! I've spent significant time implementing a Mac fallback for the shaders. M1/M2 users should now be able to play, though without the parallax effect. Let me know if issues persist! (You might need to do Shift+S and re-load the game one time to apply the fix!)

What's New: 

• ~11,000 words (note: not that many separate scenes on this one, this update contains one sex scene, which as per my writing style dictates has to be >5k words 😆).

• One of the scenes that OG fans have been waiting for. While I couldn't include animations this time around, I'm quite happy with how the static images came out and overall new script direction. But I'm sure it will still need another polish pass to feel 100% and I would like to explore animations at a later stage.

• NEW SPRITES! After taking in your feedback, I've made several improvements to character expressions and overall polish.

• New CGs for the "walking home" sequence that felt too empty, in fact, one plays an important role on this update!

Technical Improvements:

• NEW PARALLAX EFFECT - This update trials a shader-based parallax system that should look better and be more GPU-efficient (it's version 0.1, so please let me know how it performs!)

• Various fixes and quality-of-life improvements throughout

Other Notes: 

 • Still working on UI features like gallery (these take significant dev time away from content, so trying to find the right balance)

 • More CG improvements coming - it's an ongoing process!

Please let me know if you encounter any issues!

Thanks for your continued support and patience as I keep improving the game! 🙏

Cheers,

Tori
