0.5.34 - Testing the Waters - Part 1 - [Platinum Early Release]

Hey everyone!

The update is here - Part 1 that is.

I aimed for Friday, worked insanely hard through the weekend, but had to make a call. I ended up splitting this into two parts instead of the full arc.

What's In This Update?

• 18,000+ words

• ~100 CGs

• Marco Polo scene conclusion

• Complex branching paths (SP/TQ routes testing)

Playing suggestions:

• Power through in one session if possible

• Due to branching, individual playthroughs might feel shorter

• If you can wait for Part 2, it'll feel more complete as a full experience - as that was the original intention

On Dates / Comms

Quick note on timing: The pressure of missed dates while developing is tough. I've delivered consistently this year, even if/when dates slip. Quality has to come first, and sometimes that means disappointing people with timing. I'm working to find a better balance between communication and actually getting work done.

No animations yet - those come after story content is locked for the arc.

Thanks for the feedback on previous content - I made improvements to that bad ending based on your input. Keep it coming!

Part 2 is already well in development as you probably know (with around 200 CGs!) and will complete the arc - but I need to spent more time polishing it and revising the script.

Thanks for your patience during this chaotic period.

Cheers,

Tori
