0.5.30 Preview Remake Release [Can't Wait Tier]

APPLE M-series: If you use Apple M series laptop, you will encounter issues due to the new shaders compatibility - I'm looking into it! I'm really close to a solution.

Hey everyone!

Another two weeks have flown by! First, a quick apology for the slight delay - the combination of day job responsibilities and extra-busy weekend activities made for quite the challenge to get this one out. Release schedule goal is to resume standard Sunday updates🔥

JOIPLAY NOTE: Please use plugin version 8.3.2! Users reported better experience with that version. (unsure if Apple issue also affects Android users)

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!

As always, this is an early preview - might do some polish passes over the next few days if needed.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues!

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

Cheers,

Tori
