What's up people?
So, it's finally here!
Today is the day 0.07 (AKA Joana's update) is release in it's FULL state!
As this is a polishing and tweaking update, there's no new content, but that doesn't mean this update doesn't come with a LOAD of new things!
Most of that was covered in last month's devlog, so go ahead and check it in

if you haven't yet!Since then I've worked in a bunch of other features that I wanted to squeeze into this update, they are:
1 - Remade 3 Day 08 animations that were, to be kind, pretty subpar.
The animations are:
- Road trip back to your hometown
- Arriving at your hometown
- Leaving for the funeral
2 - Revisited all the early game content and improved it to match newer content.
Things ranging from dialogue, to code to just general cleaning up was done to basically all of the early game content to make it feel more in line with most recent content.
3 - Revised and improved dialogue flow.
Some of the dialogue lines, especially in early game, were either too long or too "wordy", that ended up making the reading experience boring at times.
Now each dialogue line has no more than 3 lines (maybe a bit more in the android version), so reading is faster and more dynamic.
4 - Replaced around 90% of the game's music and sound effects.
Now the music fits better the scenes, characters and mood. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than it was before.
SFX and Music volume is also more streamlined now, meaning no song is too lower or higher than others.
5 - Implemented a new gameplay mode throughout the entire game.
This is what took most of the second half of september and is kind of the highlight of this update.
While doing all the above, I also took the oportunity to implement a new, optional gameplay style to the game.
The VN Mode.
This is the classic Visual Novel playstyle where events happen in succession one after the other.
Stuff like sandbox navigation, minigames, the phone and wardrobe system aren't present in this mode. It's a pure Visual Novel linear experience.
It requires a new game and can't be deactivated on the playthrough it's activated.
