Howdy, everyone!

Happy to be here with the first progress update for v0.5, which is going quite well, and also, sadly, not. The storyboard was pretty much complete until I decided to add and change some things, which quickly escalated to a lot of things, and so I've finally just dropped it's completion back down to 50% as I plan out what I'm actually doing in this update. Which is, quite frankly, a lot. Including one of the best hand-holding scenes I've done. Tis almost good enough to bring tears to my eyes.

So, what can we expect? For starters, we're meeting a new, rather important character! She's right there in the pic, along with a couple of... familiar(?) faces. I don't think that pic is recent though. While new, she's someone we should know, in a way... any guesses? *wink, wink*

I've also finished developing what I've finally decided to call Moirai Mode. The Moirai, or Fates, are the three sisters that decide fate, so it's fitting that utilizing their power allows you to defy it, no? With this mode activated, you won't be constrained by the laws of time and in certain segments will be able to watch all available scenes before making your decision on how to proceed forward. You want to continue Sam's storyline, yet don't want to miss out on hand-holding Elisa and Beth? Here's your golden chance!

So, of course, with this I've updated the pre-intro (AGAIN) to add the Moirai activation prompt in New Game. Old saves will receive the prompt at the beginning of v0.5's content, similarly to the No-NTR trigger in v0.4.

I've also remade Beelz's introduction, as her animation was the first I made and it was... meh. Blurry. And random. Her new intro isn't too far off from the original, but I think it makes more sense in the story, adds mystery and, most importantly, looks better. I'll add a "cute" preview for Skye Fans and up over at our Discord server (which you have access to by joining my Patreon or SubscribeStar!!).

This post is going on longer than I expected so I'm gonna stop right about now. Hugs and kisses, ya'll.

Cheers,

Capyboo
