0.5.31 Preview Remake Release [Platinum Early Release]

Hey everyone!

First, thank you for your patience! As mentioned on Discord, I've decided to split this update to get us back on schedule. This is part one, with the second part coming this Sunday to resume the target cadence.

Download Link for 0.5.31 (Windows): [Download]
Download Link for 0.5.31 (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:

• ~8,500 words in this first part

• This update focuses more on slice-of-life and character development after the more saucy previous update

• Contains a crucial conversation following the events of the previous update, setting up expectations for what's next

• Several new CGs and scene compositions that required extra time (hence the split release)

Technical Improvements:

• MAC COMPATIBILITY FIX - Implemented fallback system for Apple M-series processors

• Further refinements to the parallax effect system (continuing to optimize...)

• Various fixes and quality-of-life improvements throughout (there's still feedback I need to get through! I have my backlog...)

Coming Sunday:

• The remainder of the originally planned content.

• More saucy sauce.

• A rested Tori .

I barely slept these past few nights trying to get everything perfect, but ultimately decided a split release was better than further delays.

I appreciate your understanding as I work to get back on the regular Sunday schedule!

As always, this is an early preview - please let me know if you encounter any issues!

Thanks for your continued support and patience! 🙏

Cheers,

Tori
