🎉 MindWare Version 0.3.6 (Beta 3)

First, I want to apologize for being slow to reply to messages lately. It has been one of those weeks, or really one of those months, where life keeps throwing stuff at you from every direction.

This update was supposed to be out on Monday, but then I checked the bug tracker and it took me until now to fix everything I found there.

Since there was one very frequently reported progression-blocking bug, I'm making this a public release again. I hope those of you who support me financially won't mind the temporary loss of exclusivity. More frequent public bugfix releases generate a lot of useful bug reports, and those reports help me improve the game. We should be back to supporters-only beta releases when the next content update is ready, I hope.

Fortunately, this update isn't just another bugfix.

Beta 3 also continues your relationship with Aegis and Elara. After the first Aegis scan, Elara can contact you again and invite you back to the hideout for a second scan. 

The new content is about 4,000 written words, spread across the second scan, the follow-up research sequence, branching choices with Elara, and one path that leads to a dream I think you'll enjoy. It also uses about 30 media assets, so there is a lot of visual material accompanying it.
