Happy new year everyone! I wanted to actually do a bit of a post about the past year and all that, but I just was too busy getting the update ready. I might do it tomorrow or something.For now though, Update time! Those that paid attention could have probably guessed that Update 22 is named "Liberté" and concludes the Morocco section for Wolf. So he'll have a bit of a break going forward as we work through the other paths.It's a bit of a smaller update comparatively to what we had the last few rounds, clocking in at just shy of 18k words. But of course the 30k Updates should very much be seen as the exception rather than the rule. It was a bit of a tumultuous one as well, of course we had Christmas time, new years, and it being the height of winter it seemed like sickness was attacking my poor writers left and right. Add in some technical difficulties here and yeh. A bit rocky, but we made it! So yeh, as always, big thank you to the trio of Sandy, Mando and TV.Let's get to it then.Download link for the Update:https://www.mediafire.com/folder/i1i8hv7hsd1fg/Conway+v22

Changes to the way the Scene/Artwork Gallery functions. Going forward it doesn't show locked scenes anymore. Only those that have been unlocked.(Thinking behind this is that this game isn't really meant as a collect-a-thon for scenes. So I felt the FOMO aspect of seeing locked scenes went against the feeling we want the game to have. There'll likely be way to unlock things down the line via actually finishing the game. Specifics of that of course are up in the air for now.)
Bit of an update to the "Thank You" page at the end of a playthrough
Added more granular on/off settings for the animations.
