I'm posting a new build with minor fixes, since it's been a while and some new bugs were found. While digging through the script, I even found one line of dialogue that causes the game to crash (great job, Navy) so I fixed it. Sorry about the bugs, guys.

What's new in this build?

• Updated the "press any button to continue" screen. Now I feel like it serves some purpose - it shows a couple of nighttime backgrounds from the game, so at least it's more pleasant to look at. I might keep improving the UI with small animations, minor changes, etc.
• Added a full-body silhouette sprite for Charlie, which appears whenever you encounter him outside your office,
• Fixed a free time event which caused the game to crash, 
• The same event is now properly furnished with sprites (I don't know how that slipped past me before),
• A couple of typos were fixed (like me repeatedly spelling some words the british way in some scenes),

Development update

I figured now's a good time to update you on the state of the game's development. 

Honestly. not much has happened since the end of August (I try to update Tumblr with some of the stuff I do), and I feel really bad about that. I've been sick for almost two weeks now, which reduced my productivity a lot. And on top of that, I've been busy with things unrelated to the development.

So, as an apology of sorts, and to assure you I'm still making progress, have a preview of something I've done today:

This kind of simplistic, black on single color backgrounds illustration will be used in the full game when a character they relate to is telling the main character of some past events. Each character has a unique background color, and the gold corresponds to a character you haven't met yet. Can you guess what's going on here?

That's it for today, I made three more of these golden illustrations today and put them in the script for Act II. Since I don't have much time to work on the game, I'm mostly doing what I feel like, which means I'm more focused on Act II than Elizabeth or Charlie, but there's also been some progress on them recently. Like some backgrounds.

I think that's enough previews for one post. Have fun speculating what these could be about, and if you haven't already, join the Discord server of the game here - it's a lot of fun ~
