Awoo!After a LOT of hard bork over the past months, the final build of the Fourth Howl route is finally done! I think it turned out really cool and I hope you'll like it! It's basically a triple-sized update!
The new content includes:
> Something like 22.000 words of new script, bringing Alon's route to a close
> Insane quantity of new art, animation, and interactive branching gimmicks from me, along with all of the code related to that interactivity and branching and what-knot
> New FIN picture from Guran, with an alternative version
> New barkground picture from Hughhhh, the Crystal Cavern
> New REPLAY section in the gallery, unlocked by finishing Alon's route. In it, you can quickly and conveniently play through many of the most important scenes in Shelter you've already seen! That includes every single porn scene and smooth compilations of each main character's story. I'll be adding more later!
> Alternative sprite variations for a few characters, including a bunch of Teak sprite expressions and body sprite elements
> a whole new sprite set for one of the main characters
> jaw-dropping new piece of music from Hughhhh, along with a few variations
> updating Fanarts in the credits and in the Gallery
> updated Credits roll for the end of routes, containing names of every single Patreon supporter since the start of the project
> an unlockable new variant of Main Menu screen
> a crazy amount of new code for a gimmick spreading across the whole game, which you should understand by the end of the update
So yeah, basically a triple-sized update! I very much prefer having reasonably-sized but more frequent updates, but this one is a super rare exception, and I hope that in the middle-point of it you'll understand why I chose to have you wait longer for the completion of the whole route rather than giving you a cliffhanger in the middle of it. I think it was worth it, and I hope you'll have a good time!
Technical note for player with save states before Shetler version v18 (before year 2022): As I mentioned in the last devlog, this version of Shelter finally removes that old UI save screen from the code, so unfortunately all but the first of your save states will be wiped. That doesn't impact your permanent unlocks in the game, though, so you don't need to worry about that. To clarify, that change impacts only players with saves from before build v18, before year 2022, and no other players.
However, this update still introduces a huge amount of code in so many areas of the game, so please let me know in #patreon-bug-typos on our Discord server if you encounter any bugs and stuff!
So I think that's it. All that's left is for you to dive into the barkness of this new update! Feel free to share your thoughts in #patreon-spoilers-v47 channel on Discord and do your best to not spoil the story for anyone in the public~
I hope you enjoy! Awoo!
