Studio Hearts 0.3.1 public release :D
Yes, I know it's a day or so late, had some internet issues on my end annoyingly. 0.3.1 is a small update to 0.3 which basically just fixes some typos. Annoyingly, 0.3.1 isn't available in patch form, but most updates should be. I just kinda messed up this one by forgetting to build it in a way that allows for that, and it's now 2am and I need to sleep lol. Might make a patch version in the coming days and add a link for that. In the meantime, the download links at the bottom of the page now point to 0.3.1 (except the patches, which still point to 0.3)
Also, if anyone is here from itch wondering why this update isn't released there yet, it's because itch finally decided to index the game yesterday despite it being published there weeks ago, so it's currently undergoing the "new game" boost. If I release this update there now, the "new update" boost doesn't stack as far as I'm aware, so I'm basically gonna release 0.3 there in a week or so in order to get two boosts instead. Kinda just unfortunate timing, but going forward updates will be released there at the same time as public releases are released here.
Anyway, update on 0.4. Potential spoilers below for anyone who hasn't played 0.3
As I think was mentioned during the 0.3 release, 0.3 took longer than expected, and part of that was because I was building some systems and stuff for future updates, but part of that was also because I originally planned to just make it part of what will now be 0.4, but that was before I realised I had to add a whole extra day suddenly. Because of this scheduling change, 0.4 is actually already partially complete.
Currently, I'm making the first gallery scene for it, though the particular one I'm working on will likely be one of those "could go in the gallery, or could be left out" kind of scenes. The update itself will have probably 5 gallery scenes, 4 of them being like, proper scenes. Maybe 6 if I decide to split one of them up, since I have something planned for one of them which will only happen if you've got Millie's route. I might make that its own scene even though it's kind of part of another one. I don't know exactly how long it'll take to make, but my current estimate is probably some time in June or July depending on how development goes.
Not much else to say about it for the moment.

cant wait for this to get abandoned too
dont you have a friend or know another vn creator that could take up the story you have and your idea for stormside because really want to see the ending to the vn and you could all ways cut down on some paths or make them smaller if not i hope you get your joy back for stormside just pls don't give up on it the joy fore stormside with come back to you one of these day?
Agreed. Studio Heart is good but there is nothing like Stormside for me. The blend of training, ghost hunting, and the secret past of the MC are very well done. I hope Atemsiel will return to finish it someday.
Thanks for your work. Hey, photos that you receive through text? When clicking on them to open them, they expand to an incorrect aspect ratio. All of them are different, but as an example, the one of Aida biting a bannana opens up so that the only thing I can see is her hair and eyes. The rest of the photo is out of frame (on account of how blown up the photo is). This is occurring on a Linux machine, launching from the generated shell script; can’t speak for windows users. Thanks again!
Hey, I know I'm a little late to the game, but if you click and hold you can drag them up and down, and if you scroll the pics zoom in and out.
wooo, even if it's an x.x.1 update, I'll take it. I love this project. keep up the works!
ah shieez, my blind ass didn't saw that the whole update was only correcting typo LOL. But glad to hear continuity for this project.
Cant wait for the next update! Keep up the great work!
