Change Log for Version 0.02.3
So, a lot of "behind-the-scenes" type stuff with this release, a lot of coding work primarily. I've been focusing on building the framework a bit faster as I mentioned, so there's no new story content with Lily. (She's basically going to do a little birds & bees talk and introduce the player to grooming.) The wardrobe system has been improved, and the entire grooming system has been added. There's also myriad other small additions and improvements. Just shy of 158,000 words in this release :)
Now that this is out, I'm going to take a short break. I haven't had a "day off" from AW in a long time, so I'd like to spend a little time with my family and let my plans percolate a bit on what's up next. I'll be back Monday morning (U.S. time) with a post on my development plans & time frame, and what I'll be working on for the next release. See you then!
