Build 0.3 (Better late than never!) [Also an Announcement]
🕑 Added 2020-11-25 03:56:36 +0000 UTC
Well, after beating ourselves senseless, we managed to get our lives together and finalize 0.3 for you, our patrons, to consume.
Apologies again for the wait, we hope to avoid this moving forward at the very least, we intend to give you a bit more notice if we do. (Which I'll be getting to later in this post.)
In this update we have a fair amount of new content:
- Day 3 (From start to near-finish... you'll understand why at the end)
- 2 new CGs
- A new exterior background for the cafe (featuring the name of our lovely establishment chosen by our $6+ patrons).
- A scroll bar for the phone UI (You can scroll up with your mousewheel or touchscreen, but we felt some of you may want something more intuitive.)
- A small day tracker in the corner, as well as a transition screen when changing days. (This is still a WIP)
- A new track by Hugh! (I imagine you'll find it quite easily if you tend to stick close to Jude.)
- A few less noteworthy bug/typo fixes from the previous two builds. (I'm optimistic that we got... most of them.)

So, now to the announcement. I know you all can't be too excited to learn this, but we'll be taking December off.
Now you may be asking why? We've just begun, and fatigue hasn't really set in yet. Really, the answer is logisitcs. The holiday season plus COVID has led to excessive additional measures for myself and others in making sure we can spend time with our families, and do so safely.
So to avoid overtaxing our brains with stress, we won't be uploading a build in December. (We'll also be pausing Patreon for the month of December, no sense charging you when we aren't really providing.)
That isn't to say we won't be getting work done. I intend to continue writing, Melo intends to continue coding, Hugh is likely to make a song, we just won't be worrying about any sort of deadline.
Additionally, I don't intend to starve you all of content/updates. I have the intention of doing a Q/A when the public build releases over on itch. Additionally I'll be hitting up you $6+ patrons with a poll or two in regards to future content, so look out for that.
That's everything from me, so I hope you all have a good week. :D

Aiden and all his fabulous hair. But honestly I was ready to sleep and I got notified of this update and I had to play it. You and the team are doing amazing work with this and its alright you guys need a break to recharge. Its good you and the others know your limits and when its time for a break, rather than overwork yourselves. I enjoyed this update a lot and I look forward to future updates.
