After a year off working on Date Ariane 2, I'm finally working on Dating in a World on Fire again.

First, I learned a bunch of cool tricks this past year, and coming back, most of the images looked comparatively bad. So I re-rendered all the images yet again, adding a post render filter to clean up the grainy look, then reduced JPG compression from 20% to 10% to reduce compression artifacts. Looks a lot nicer now.
I also changed the name of the executable so that old saves don't work. Sorry for the inconvenience, but while re-rendering images I also made some changes to some of the images.
Dialog changes: I got rid of the universal they/them pronouns and characters who are not non-binary like Alex and Harry, will be called "he" and "she" now. It was fun in Hopepunk City, but in this game it just got confusing. Some unisex words like "partner" or "Sibling" are still present.
I also got rid of "comic style" dialog. DiaWoF will only be Visual Novel style.
New Material: The warehouse scene was expanded and properly ended in a bar where you receive foreshadowing of future material. Some minor characters were redesigned.
Upcoming: There are two to three more scenes left in "chapter 2" before a second date with Relay starts in Chapter 3. My goal for next month is to complete these scenes.
