Hey guys,

Another month has gone by and it's time for an update. Big news first - the engine upgrade is ahead of schedule and was fully completed this month. Things are working well, and the only compromise for the moment is the ability to save to disc, which I'm hoping will be coming back at some point. You can find more details about the engine changes in the recent post.

Since sound was a big reason for this, I've decided to go ahead and merge with that branch as well, bringing the first bits of audio into the game! Keep in mind that it's still a work in progress, so not every passage has sound. Just like the backgrounds, audio will be an ongoing effort, but I hope you will enjoy what you hear, and please don't hesitate to share any feedback!

Last but not least, this patch brings 2 brand new scenes that are taking advantage of new tech to shine with complex animations such as expressions and movement. Hope you like them!

Full patch notes:
