TaH: Episode 2 [v1.0] Release!

Episode 2: New Beginnings continues the story after the events of the school dance with a lot of attention finding the MC. As life has started looking upward again, many opportunities for new fun, friends, and romances come forth, including the one relationship he thought would never be repaired.

Notable Stats/Changes:

Ep2 grew 50% larger than Ep1 (Ep2: 45k words, 1200 images, and 12 animations)
There were small changes made to the Introduction Scene with Mark & Kayla. This scene will play the first time you open the game and then automatically disable itself.
In the game's Option menu there is a checkbox to play the Intro the next time you open the game (it will disable itself again once you've reopened the game and viewed it).
There is also a new checkbox to allow skipping unseen text. Normally the 'Skip' button will fast-forward through text/images you've already viewed, but enabling this option will fast-forward through everything. (I don't recommend it, but it's there in case you really want it.)
In addition to the stand-alone main game release, there will be a Bonus Content add-on for members giving their extra support (Fun Fling +). This contains 7 extended scenes featuring side characters. (MC is unaware and not present)

I didn't get the chance to incorporate everything I wanted to; the size of the episode didn't leave me enough time to code up extra stuff.

Lastly, I'm aware of some complications with the Mac version. For some reason Ren'py isn't creating the files with correct permissions inside the ZIP file, and I'm unable to fix it on my Windows machine. So if you don't have experience in getting Ren'py games to work on your Mac then there will be an instruction document that will hopefully help.
