IT'S DOOOOOOOOOOONNEEEEEEE!!!!
After four-ish months, hundreds of hours worth of work, and plenty of obstacles, the 0.1 update is in a state where I'm comfortable with releasing it to everyone!

To reiterate this point, Version 0.1 is going to be made public for everyone to play immediately. Ver. 0.1 was always meant to be an extension of 0.0 - the second half of the game's demo. Now that it's finished, all future updates will follow the release schedule as listed.
If anyone currently at Tiers 2 or 3 believes this is wrong, unfair, or was unaware of my intentions, please let me know! I'd much rather you be happy than feel I've screwed you over - that's not my thing!
Right then! Coming from the 0.1 Pre-Release, there are about 90 new images split between the two different paths (based on whether you win or lose to Rita), a body exploration segment, a small stealth segment, and LOTS and LOTS of dialogue. Additionally, there are a number of unique dialogue branches that only play under certain conditions - try winning against Rita while the two other people in your party are swallowed, for example. :P
In my playtesting, progressing from "New Game" to 0.1's conclusion took about 3 hours, but your mileage may vary. Truthfully, there's SO MUCH more I wanted to add to this update, but I've decided to snip the game off a certain point because you all have waited long enough, and I likewise want it out! NOW!
So, without further adieu, here's Version 0.1 of The Hylann Defense Corps! Thank you all so much!! <3
