Major demo update


Major demo update!

Almost all changes in this update have to do with Jane, the main character's sister, who you see in dream sequences in the demo. I wanted to fix a continuity error by redoing these dream sequences on week 1, and I'm quite happy with the revamp.

What's new in this build?

  • rewritten introductory Jane dream on Monday of the first week,
  • new illustration for that dream,
  • rewritten narration after the dream,
  • added a teaser to the main menu: once you beat the demo, the option to view the teaser should appear. This teaser offers a look at the unfinished weekend events - fair warning though, there are placeholder graphics since it is a teaser and not part of the official demo,
  • restored the second Jane dream to the demo with slightly tweaked narration and a different day where it appears (it was moved a day further since I liked the nightmare teaser dream at the end of the demo too much - I decided to keep it in the full game with some changes),
  • added weekend events: a phone call, a dream and some narration about it to the teaser,
  • all of the above changes (so shuffling around the dream sequences, new narration, weekend events) are also functional in my build of the full game,

I will try to update the teaser scenes with finished graphics as soon as I have them, but I feel like I should focus on writing - I just really wanted to get this update out of the way.

I'm currently getting into writing the routes for week 5, but it's been chaotic. I'll try to focus, now that the demo update isn't on my mind anymore.

Nice! Thank you for updating us :)

No problem, I hardly ever write here because it only feels justified when there's an update.
