Cicada Springs, v9.6.1 | One Big Step

Hello everyone, even later than usual.

I'm so sorry for peeling in at the last minute like this - I genuinely try to get these out as soon as possible. It's been a hellacious month, and much of what I had to do this time turned out to be rather time-consuming. At the risk of making promises, I'm going to do my level best to make sure that I'm not THIS close to getting out a monthly update ever again.

At the risk of boring you all with the details, I had a lot of not-fun "invisible" stuff to do behind the background. So, when you download the latest version of the game and see that it's twice the size, you'll see where a lot of that went.

Let's make it short:

I've been working on endings for this game. Scripting, storyboarding, rewriting, editing, the works. I planned on having at least 4 done for y'all by today! But unfortunately, only one was finished in time.

If it's any consolation, it's the secret ending where Charlie gets really fat.

There will still be an updated version to download the latest file located below, so that people who like to playtest this game can get it to the most accurate version.

Please note, the above ending is not programmed into the game yet. It's coming with the rest of the endings, but until I can figure out how to squish them into the game without breaking everything, they will remain accessible through these posts.

The next ending (which is halfway finished) is Charlie's "basic" ending, and (now that I have a better idea of what I'm doing) however many else I can finish over the course of the month. I think, instead of just having a big monthly update, I'm going to shoot for smaller updates throughout the month that are in video format like these.

tl;dr - sorry for the slow start on endings but I hope this one is at least worth the wait!
