A look at the upcoming updates

We are at work on the next update focused on Day 4 of orientation week. As we comb through the feedback of version 0.2.3, we have identified several improvements we would like to release as soon as possible.
Something less fun is that we also identified a critical bug as we were working on the next version. This bug cause a loss of the character's state prior to the transformation being applied. We didn't yet have a real case of temporary mods where we revert the character to their pre-transformation state, which is why it was not caught.
This brings us to the dilemma of whether or not we force all our players to restart from a blank slate so nobody can carry on into day 4 with corrupted saves. Ultimately we decided yes, as the player can quickly return to the current content by cruising through the same options.
As compensation, we have reworked the Day 1 scenes with Curie and Diane. Just like the Day 3 scene with Curie, they will now feature unique art.
Among other things, we have also taken steps to reduce the size of the game and improve performance. All existing images have been converted to the WEBP format, which allows us to reduce these images by an average of 60% to 80% of their original size. This should prove helpful to players with limited bandwidth or connectivity.
We are going to release all these improvements with a new version to be released this friday. This version will become v0.2.4.
Our timeline is now as follows:
- v0.2.4: Maintenance release + Day 1 improvements
- v0.2.5: Day 4
- v0.2.6: Day 5 and conclusion of orientation week
- v0.3.0: First iteration of open world, post-orientation weekend content
