0.6.0 - "Can't Go Back" Arc / End of Act 1 - [All Tiers Release]
NOTE: 0.6.1 will be released in the next few days with some important fixes, so if you haven't played yet, you might want to wait.
Hey everyone!
You waited longer than you should have. I know that.
Big updates sound nice on paper but they can be a nightmare to estimate, polish, and ship. I have mentioned this before on Discord but the plan going forward is smaller, more focused releases on a shorter cycle once again.
The worst part of this, is that by the end of it, there wasn't enough time to release the original goal of both Acts.

What's in this update:
~160 CGs (inc. variations)
24 animations (inc. variations)
15-20k words
Closes out Act 1
Multiple bug fixes
Minor fixes to past content
On Act 1:
This is a plot-heavy chapter. If you're here purely for the spicy stuff, this one's more of a slow burn.
Which is why the original intention was to include Act 2 content - to kick-off the more spicy scenes.
However, the scale of such an update would mean additional weeks under development, as Act 1 kept growing during these final stages - and I definitely didn't want to rush Act 2 content nor delay releases any further.
This update alone has nearly as many CGs as the original estimate for both Acts combined.
On Act 2:
The Act 2 material exists. CGs are well underway, script is largely drafted, but it needs more polish and animation work. I'm treating it as 0.7.0 and aiming for a noticeably shorter gap between releases.
Act 2 is where things get significantly more interesting.
I'll share more specifics soon!
On past content:
Only minor fixes in this build. I have larger revisions planned for older scenes but didn't want to hold this release for them. They'll come.
There's always more to do in terms of polish. A few scripts that I can improve and CGs to give an extra cleanup.
Looking forward to hearing what you think about how Act 1 wraps up. Curious whether the ending works.
I do appreciate the patience. Act 2 content is already well underway, as you have seen from dev diaries, and like I mentioned above, I am aiming for a noticeably shorter gap between releases.
I have a lot of messages to catch up.
Cheers,
Tori
