NOTE: Reports of some pretty severe glitches/issues with the Android build. Will be working tonight on attempting to remedy these issues and should have an updated build tomorrow! (March 20th)

It's finally here! The process of swapping engines was quite a challenging one as it was less of a copy & paste and more of a rebuild from the ground up. However, now that that's over with, I think future updates to House Chores are looking very promising!
If you've played the first build, there is a little bit more 'meat' here in this update. The day/night cycle should work as intended now and you can re-visit scenes and get a little more out of them the second time around (the doorbell can't ALWAYS end the fun ;P)
I want to thank you all again for being so patient. I mentioned early on that House Chores wouldn't be getting the same amount of attention & priorities as ToP & ZR, however, I definitely did not want to go 7+ months without an update. Things are looking up in 2020 now. Thank you again for your understanding and support!
Don't forget to save FREQUENTLY! This is a brand new game on a new engine so I'm expecting to see a number of glitch reports. If you run into any issues, reporting them on Discord's House Chores channel is the best option.
Thank you all for your support and I will see you soon!

Yes, I was surprised that I could retain most of the VN elements of the original engine! I'm glad you enjoyed it! You are intended to re-view the scene but there's a glitch preventing that. I should be uploading a fix later today for PC (it's been fixed on Android)

Wow I didn't knew this engine was capable of delivering an experience very similar to renpy! I'm so glad it'll essentially go in the same direction I hoped for initially! One thing though, in your post you mention that the doorbell can't always end the fun and revisiting scenes but after the doorbell I can't seem to find any way of replaying scenes or doing a new game doesn't get me further in the "end" scene either? Is that normal?

When they arrive, that is the end of the story so far. However, I do believe there's a glitch at that point too so I'm working to find & fix it hopefully as soon as today!

It seems to get stuck in a loop / can't progress just after the doorbell scene and the "Tutor" and "Neighbor" arrive -- is that the end of the new content?
