Early Access Release 0.1508 - Sayori Route Additions and CG Bonanza! (Patreon)

Cheesecaaaakes~

This update is all about the CGs! While there are some story additions, the main feature here I think is all the additional art that I've been able to put into the game. As you've seen from the art updates, we now have a CG for the intro sequence, the game's original ending and the start of Sayori's Alter path, and the finalized art has all been placed in this release. With the bulk of the essential sprite art done, it was nice to be able to turn the focus properly on CGs and get these done ^^

And with a half decent number of CGs now in the game, I thought it was a good time to add a gallery feature. You should now be able to view any of the CGs and their variants via the new CG Gallery screen in the main menu so long as your current save has them unlocked~

As for those story additions, I focused on Sayori's route this time around, plotting out what happens if Kyou decides to leave Sayori in her altered state instead of switching her back. This new story breaks the narrative rule I had in place constraining all the events to a single week, and I'm likely to do the same with other stories now going forward. 

Unfortunately I couldn't finish the new story branch as I'd hoped, or get anywhere near to be honest, but I have everything but the ending sketched out and you're more than welcome to take a look if you want~

So, that's all for now. Enjoy the update, and have a great holiday and new year!

What's New

New CGs added for: Introduction scene with Kyou, Delusion route main ending and the start of Sayori's Alter path

Added much more story to the Sayori Route Alter path, on the decision branch where Kyou keeps Sayori in her altered state (much of it far from finished)

A rudimentary CG gallery has been added to the main menu

Updated the code in most of Kyou's spoken lines to ensure his new sprite shows up with an appropriate expression in the more recently-written scenes (He may still be missing in some scenes, though)

Some minor textual additions made to the existing script on most routes

Added a couple more songs to the soundtrack. They play during Sayori's new path

Fixed a minor bug in the Android version where Nozomi's sprite didn't display for a few lines on the Delusion route if Kyou confronted Sayori

Fixed a couple minor bugs common to all versions where Nozomi's sprite doesn't display for a single line on Sayori's route, and on the Villainous route

Fixed a display bug on Nozomi's route, when Kyou decides to test his theory and pushes Nozomi further

Added several new background images to accommodate Sayori's new story

Word count is now over 138,500

Some more little typo/grammatical corrections here and there
