Hey guys!
I apologize that this last leg of development has taken so long. I thought all the UI and phone system stuff would only take a week or two, but I was way off. It was a lot of work to do all those things. Not to mention all the QoS stuff I wanted to add. Most players won't notice or appreciate these things, but I feel like they make a big difference when you add them all up. Some features won't be added until the next update, though. I wanted to add a music player, a hidden renders gallery, and a couple of other things, but there's only so much I can do per update. Those things can be added at a later time.
The original ep1 only had about 1100 renders and 40 animations, so there's new and extended content in this update that I hope returning players will appreciate. So far, I've been getting positive feedback from proofreaders and testers. They understand some of the reasons this remaster was important for me to do. But I think it's much more than a remaster if you ask me. I believe it's important for players to have a great experience early on in a new visual novel. What I have done in this update sets that tone a lot better. The changes I made to dialogue and the additional character-building I added in this episode make for a better experience. Not to mention all the bios, points tracker, and unlockable that will require a new game anyways. Again, I apologize for the wait, and looking forward to hearing what you guys think.
