Signs of life! Yes, we are still working on the game! It's just that things have been tough and there's some IRL circumstances that made it even more difficult finding time to work on this. That being said, let's get on with it!

What's coming in v4.0 

Changes and improvements to the UI

- Brand new new quick menu interface is finished and implemented! This is a highly requested feature, so I'm glad to be able to make it work the way I wanted it to!

- Codex screen user interface improvements, minor tweaks to improve usability.

- Rescaled and tweaked the UI of the Pocket Edition to be much more mobile friendly as the UI was taking up more space on the screen than intended.

Key bindings fix and redone controller support
- Added a screen to check key bindings and controls in-game.
- New key bindings should be similar to typical visual novel style controls now. For example, pressing ESC will open up the Settings menu, instead of opening up the Save menu.
- Controller key bindings are redone for ease of use.
- The controller support is available in the pocket version as well.

Story content v4.0 will contain half of Chapter 2, but it's actually almost as long as the previous chapter, Chapter 1. 

The game mechanics and minigame modes as previously discussed and teased will be shelved indefinitely because its really clunky and not fun (thanks to the feedback from our testers). Developing a prototypes for it has taken up more than that I imagined it would, might revisit it in the future if I have the time.

We're currently making huge changes to the supporter tiers, to cut down on general bloat and introduce new rewards. So for the time being, we don't have a release date, but hopefully this post will serve to let you all know what we been up to.

There will be a follow up post (or two) in the coming week/weeks. Where I will be announcing and implementing the supporter tier changes, as well as proper release dates for v4.0! 

Note: The weekly supporter exclusive sneak peek posts will be on hold for a while until the new supporter tier changes are implemented/updated!

That's it for now! Please look forward to the release, coming soon!
