v0.5.9 Release Schedule!

A fresh playthrough is STRONGLY recommended in v0.5.9!
As many of you know by being members over on the discord, Nephilim is undergoing a full re-polish of chapter 1-6.

The re-polish features are as follows:
342 entirely new renders and 12 animations added and scattered throughout chapters 1-5.
Thousands upon thousands of new and re-worked dialogues, this includes more in-depth lore and background information, and immersion dialogue.
Countless of old renders have been redone for higher quality and 15+ old animations have been redone from 30 to 60fps with better motion quality as well.

Skill-system revamp:
Now Nephilim feature a more diverse skill system and many choices throughout chapters 1-6 have been adjusted to accommodate this new system.
You will have the option to gain a lot more points throughout the first 6 chapters now, and plenty of skill-check situations have been added as well to make use of these skill points.

The obtainable skills and total points are as follows:
Social skills, Leadership(23), Charisma(22), Persuasion(16) and Intimidation(16).
Physical skills, Strength(2), Wisdom(0) and Stealth(2).

On top of the skill system, the Harem path has now been put to more use, with several scenes now having a bit of unique dialogue depending if you're on or off the Harem path.

Characters:
You will even encounter new characters throughout chapters 1-5 as well now, even returning faces if you have chosen to spare them, giving much needed depth and outcomes of certain choices (Especially Irene & Selena!)
These new & returning characters include... Shane & Maya (Flynn & Sabrina's parents), Irene, Assassins from Society of Shadows, Rin, Gibson, Asta (Gibson's daughter), Alana, Oren & Ellen, Eliza and several others!

As you can see this is an insane amount of content and that is not even taking into consideration the v0.5.9 content itself which is 918 renders ongoing from v0.5.8, that means with the chapter 1-6 re-polish on top, this is easily the largest and most content filled update Nephilim has ever seen, and likely will ever see.
I have done a full replay of chapters 1-6 myself to ensure everything is how I want it to be and flows naturally, and I'm pleased with the result.

Pheew, that was a lot of information, I better get back to work... but before I do, one last piece of information:
in v0.5.9 a fresh playthrough is STRONGLY advised by me, the dev.
I have tested and your v0.5.8 saves should work even if you just want to continue from v0.5.8, however with this amount of new content to the early-mid game, you will be missing out on a lot of skill points and a chunky-chunk of in-game lore and character developments if you do not start fresh, whether you care about those things is up to you as a player.
