New Hope V0.5 (Patreon Early Access)
🕑 Added 2023-06-23 20:43:01 +0000 UTCThe wait is finally over! Thank you for your patience with this one, I know you've all been waiting with anticipation. I've been working on some quality-of-life changes that should provide a smoother experience for players.
This includes the chapter select screen. Since you are unable to use saves from previous versions of the game - this was very important to include so that you don't have to start from the beginning and skip a mountain of content. Now you can just jump right in! Just select New Game on the main menu and pick your starting point!
Another change is that I've compressed all the images as much as possible whilst still retaining a standard of quality. The images won't be 4k Ultra HD (because the game was pushing almost 8GB with them like that) - they're now a more manageable size and as a result, the file size is now at 2.5GB. This is great news for people who struggled with downloading and playing the previous update <3
If you aren't already - follow me on Twitter and join the Apollo Studios Discord! Thank you for your continued support <3 Without you, I wouldn't be able to make these awesome games and stories!
Changelog:
- Script edits correcting bugs encountered in V0.4
- Image file size reduction
- Chapter select screen
- Enhanced Music & SFX
- Continuation of the Main Story
- Continuation of the Character Routes (Ethan, Theo, and Eyal).
You can find the download links below. Just remember that this is Patreon Early Access so please do not share the links anywhere. The game will be posted for free in 3 weeks' time - so everyone will be able to enjoy it! You're just getting the exclusive first look! :)
Do not use old saves. This will break the game. Select the chapter you want to play and jump in from there. If you make a new save game once you've downloaded this update - those of course will work just fine.
Download Links: (If you're from the US please try and prioritize MediaFire first. GDrive has a limit of downloads per day - and people outside the US can experience longer download times when using MediaFire.)

Did not expect that ending either, have not done Theo's route yet.....
John(Drayth)
will do, was on my lenovo in the br, and discord - for some reason - keeps logging out and losing details on it.

Thank you for playing! So glad you loved it and happy to see the ending shocked you! I love a good cliffhanger, I can’t help myself!

Hey thanks for these :) if you can post any bugs and typos in the dedicated channel on Discord that would be super helpful. That way they’re all in one place xx
John(Drayth)
another typo in the same Eyal route ( and an error, will post that when I am not on the laptop. Justin Talking to Eyal: It can be! Especially if it's like some Cuthulu shit. ("Cthulhu" is the correct spelling)
John(Drayth)
Typo in Eyal scene, I'm sure there is an old European legand, shouldn't it be "legend"
