- Patch notes for August 6, 2024 - Italian language added - 7 September 2024
Hello, all! With this patch we've added Italian to the list of languages the game can be played in. As with other updates, please let us know if you notice anything weird or wonky with this update or with the translation in general.
- Patch notes for August 27th, 2024 - 27 August 2024
This small patch is intended to fix a relatively rare bug that caused players who completed the game to loop back around into the middle of chapter 4. If you experience any weirdness with the game's endings after this, please let us know.
- Patch notes for August 1st, 2024 - 1 August 2024
This was a small patch just to fix some pathing issues that arose from earlier fixes. No big changes, but if you are playing an earlier save you might find that you aren't getting the scenes you had seen on that path before. If that happens, you'll need to start a new game. This is more likely on paths involving Athena, so keep an eye open for any scenes you should be seeing/unlocking.
- Update notes for July 31st, 2024 - 31 July 2024
This small patch should fix some pathing issues some of you have mentioned on various romance paths. You should no longer see yourself forced onto a path at the start of chapter 5 that you did not specifically choose. We've also localized the Gallery for both Portuguese (Brazilian) and Simplified Chinese, and our translators are currently working on the French translation. The gallery had previously already been translated for our Russian-speaking players.
- Patch notes for July 30th, 2024 - 30 July 2024
We believe this should be the last translation fix necessary. Players who were encountering errors pointing toward the French translation should no longer have those. We'll be keeping an eye out in case players happen upon any further errors, so please report them if you find them. It's taken us some time to really understand how the translations work in Ren'Py, and one of our moderators (608xperience, who's been active on the forums here) has been instrumental in getting these errors fixed and imparting his knowledge on us. As first-time developers, we're grateful for both his assistance and your patience. We may not get it right out the gate, but we're not going to step away until we know everything is working as intended. Thanks again, and as always if you discover anything wonky going on, please let us know in the bug reports forum.
- Patch notes for July 29th 2024 - 29 July 2024
As promised, this is the patch that should have fixed the issues with the French translation and a handful of other issues that had arisen. This should be the last update to the game until our Spanish translator has completed their job. Until then, if you do notice any bugs or issues, feel free to post them in the Bug Reports forum or join our Discord server and report them there.
- Patch notes: French implementation, engine update - July 26th, 2024 - 26 July 2024
Hello, all! Apologies for how long it took to implement this patch. As we were moving the build over to a more current version of Ren'Py, and adding the now-complete French translation, we kept finding more and more little things to add in to the build. Between that, and testing, it took us a couple of days to get this ready for you all. As mentioned, we've updated Ren'Py from the previous 7.4.3 to 7.4.6. This should do away with the Ren'Py version error that a small number of players was encountering (though the error made the game unplayable, for which we apologize). With this update, that error should be a thing of the past. Also, we've implemented a French translation. For those of you who were waiting patiently for that, we much appreciate it! We hope the translation meets your approval. Otherwise, this patch includes about a dozen other, minor issues, many of which wouldn't be not…
- Audio and more patch - 25 July 2024
You might notice a small update was just posted. We're fixing a few lines where audio wasn't playing when it should, plus a couple of minor fixes for images not displaying and for the Portuguese translation. If you find any other errors, please post them in the Bug Reports forum so we can follow up. There's 3+ years of code from a newbie coder in this and sometimes we did things a little awkwardly. We appreciate you all letting us know where things aren't working as intended. We want this to be the best experience possible, so we'll continue these small patches until there are absolutely zero errors coming up.
- July 23rd minor patch notes - 24 July 2024
This was our second attempt at fixing a font error that was apparently spreading from the Chinese translation like a zombie plague. There shouldn't be further font errors after this, but if you happen to catch any errors after this update please let us know in the Bug Reports forum.
- Chinese language patch - 21 July 2024
We have just implemented a patch for the Chinese translation that should fix the errors and missing translations players were experiencing. Thank you for your patience! - Storm
- Chinese translation being worked on - 21 July 2024
Hello! We are currently working on a fix for the Chinese translation. It's nearly complete, and we apologize to our players who have run across the translation errors. When the patch is implemented we'll make another announcement. Thank you! - Storm
