HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE GAME DEVELOPMENT?

-If you want to support Ancient Cities development, please write a review on the Steam store page.

While not adding the voice sound effects like wanted, due to internal issues and all, this update still adds a lot of useful aspects to the game, mainly the Music Room, colored textboxes, and all. This update acts as a polishing update for Chapter 1, and add code for Chapter 2.

Unfortunately, Alpha 0.1.0 might take longer to be released, as I recently moved out and need to buy more for it, like a desk, chair, and such. I sincerely apologize for that.

Note: As with any alphas, there are a ton of internal code changes, so saves might not be compatible between the old versions, so beware.

Important note: There is an issue with the new Discord Rich presence code that may crash/freeze the game upon full restart of Windows or recompiling of the game and Discord is opened. To fix this, close the game, open Task Manager, right click Discord select "End Task", then open the game again. A proper fix is in investigation and will be fixed in a future update.

Thanks to SelLillianna and Jaydon (A) for playtesting throughout Alpha 0.0.6's development phase.
