Chapter 15 Beta Update
Hey everyone!
Last few months I've been working on merging the old and new versions of the VN into a single build. Most of the content is already in place, but we've been running into a string of technical issues that have slowed things down considerably. The good news is that we're very close to the finish line. The bad news is that getting everything stable and properly tested will take another few weeks.
My original goal was to have both the Alpha and Beta builds ready before the end of the month. Unfortunately, things decided to go wrong at the same time.
First, OneDrive reminded me why I dislike it so much. During a failed synchronization, it migrated and overwrote several files, creating a mess that took time to untangle and verify. Then, upgrading to the latest version of Ren'Py introduced a handful of compatibility issues that had to be resolved before development could continue.
Most frustratingly, the last few days have been spent wrestling with Android builds. We managed to get things compiling, only to run into new errors further down the pipeline. At this point, I don't want to keep delaying everything while chasing a solution, so I've decided to put the Alpha build on hold until we figure out exactly what's causing the issue and can guarantee a stable release.
Rather than leave you all hanging, I wanted to share something tangible in the meantime.
Below you'll find the first half of the polished standalone Chapter 15. It doesn't require any additional context to enjoy and should give you a glimpse of what's coming next. Just press "start" as all other functionality has been disabled for the time being.
I hope you enjoy it, and thank you, as always, for your patience and support. It genuinely means a lot, especially during weeks like this when development feels more like fighting software than making a visual novel.
Enjoy the preview!
Love,~Kael
