Friends, hello everyone!
I'm finally done with the corrections I originally wanted to make to chapters one and two.

What did I change?
I split the game script into chapters. This has been something that needed to be done for a long time. Now I'll be able to make changes without fear of your saves breaking.

I also split the second chapter into two separate chapters. So now there are not 9 full chapters in the game, but 10. That's why the version is called 0.10.2 and not 0.9.2.

I also completely redid the first half of the second chapter. I removed the minigame, rewrote the dialogs and rendered everything from scratch.

I also added 2 animations at the end of the second chapter. I hope you like it!

I haven't changed anything further than the middle of chapter 2, so at some point you may notice a strong deterioration in the quality of the game, but there's nothing I can do about it. I'll fix it later.

What's next?
Next, I'm finally going to continue chapter 11! More specifically, I'm already working on an update. So expect it in August.

I'll also continue updating old chapters. I plan to completely redo the second and third. I'll add animations to the whole game and redo the already outdated ones. I also want to update all the renders with Alice (as you'll notice, I've corrected her appearance a bit). And I also need to edit the English translation up to chapter 5, because there are a lot of complaints about it. I can see how bad it is.

As you can see, there's still a lot of work to do, but now I'm going to do it gradually, focusing on continuing rather than reworking old chapters.

I'll write another big post next week. There is a huge amount of news that I would like to share with you.

Thanks for your support!

Hello, and first off, thank you for posting it here. It was nice to know which phase of development you are.
I think your whole plan of reworking the first chapters is great. The whole package of game is great even with bad translation at first chapters. Really appreciate what you're doing (y)

Thank you so much! You seem to be the first person who met the idea of recycling old chapters positively.:giggle:

Oh lol, i literally just finished the previous version 5 minutes ago, guess i keep playing.

Awesome game, in the beginning i was somewhat bored and annoyed with the mc's behavior/mindset but at this point i wasnt able to grasp where this game is going at all and the story turned out to be way more interresting and unusual than a first suspected!

wait, what?! You serious? I mean, there are really human beings out there willing to pay real hard earned money for an unfinished product just because they want to be among the first that can play them?

I refuse that people can be so dumb (or rich) that this can be a legal business strategy!
I agree that early access isn't really a good thing for the consumer, but if you come across a game and you play it and you like it and you want to play more of it, you can if you are able go and support that developer with your money. No one is forcing anyone to do so. People do so because they want to and can.
I know people who never play a game unless it's complete be it on steam or here.
Sometimes with how many unfinished abandoned game there has been I wish I would do the same, but I see something interesting I click.

I have not played the game for a while, the first chapter was rough. Does anyone know if the developer has redid the first chapter??? :)

I have stopped looking at new games all together. Either they are bad, there is almost no content and the developer drops the project shortly after arrival or, the worst case scenario, I really like the game and I will spend the coming 5 years on hitting F5 on the download page because I want to know how the story goes on.

The absolute worst worst scenario: The developer decides in the middle of the project he has to redo everything.
Focusing on new content rather of reworks sound very good, PixelsLab! This would be very nice =)

Jumping right into the new version. Can`t wait.
Aaaaand my save games are gone.

Cool, this updated. Been a good minute since I played. I'll be doing a fresh playthrough. Looking forward to seeing the changes to the earlier parts and so on.

Above there is a post from Patreon that only the second chapter has been changed, there is nothing new for those who want to continue.

Well, why did the developer change the folder with saves, I don’t understand.

Well damn, that explains it...I had read that post but apparently COMPLETELY misunderstood it *sigh*

And the wait continues...:sleep:

I am really enjoying just how much story, lore and world building this games has. I really hope we are getting ready to move on from this island though, with how much world building this game has I really feel like the current setting has long overstayed its welcome.
