Hooked! Ch06 Dolphin Release

Hello everyone! Beach episode! We've gotten to the point where I feel like I've established the characters enough, and I'm comfortable putting some more focused plot elements in here. I thought it would be interesting to have a non-filler beach episode.

This post will replace the mid-month progress report I usually do, as there's not much to report that's not already in this chapter.

If you are a Shark tier wondering what has changed since you last tried the chapter, you can read the change log at the bottom of this post.

If you are wondering why this chapter took so long to develop, I wrote about it here.

Here's the newest update:

I'm finally gonna be setting up ny new work space this weekend, but I'm gonna be paying attention to comments and will be available to answer questions etc. Next week I'll be focusing on fixing whatever bugs you guys find, and I'm gonna try to implement translations for chapters 1-5.

Have any questions?

Feel free to let me know if you have any issues with getting the game, find any bugs, etc etc. Best place to post about that is on the discord, but you can also send me a DM here. If you have issues with itch saying you don't have a pledge, make sure you actually have an active pledge. If you cancel your patreon subscription before trying to access the game, itch can't see your membership (because it technically doesn't exist).

If itch says the session doesn’t match, try doing the whole process through an incognito window: New incognito window -> Log in to patreon -> Click link -> Connect Itch with Patreon. Make sure to donut all in one window. If even that doesn't work, send me a DM and we'll find a solution
