Screen filters are fun, but not when you can't see anything at all!

There was a small bug in the "damage effect", also called datamosh, that erased the entire image of the screen. That wasn't intentional!

Since the issue only appeared for some players, and I'm not sure if its fixed for everyone I've temporarily disabled it.

For the brave ones I've added an option to re enable it in the "Game Settings" menu.




The Datamosh effect should look like this


NOT like this

The different paths in the upcoming release will offer very different scenes and each will introduce us to multiple new characters. These new characters will all have a part to play now and well into the future with some causing a hard split in certain paths. If you have Branson in your group from the 0.3.0 release, then his past and choices you made for him will play a major part in the direction of the scenes. A life hangs in the balance and certain choices you have already made will dictate the outcome of this situation. Having Damerek in your group instead will open up new scenes that will give us some insight into his background. His path will also lay the foundation for a future story arc and companion quest while also introducing a new antagonist.

Here are a few images from the upcoming content:







Alongside the story writing and image creation I have been continuing work on the updates for the galleries and journal mentioned in the previous development update. Here are some screenshots of the new Images and Dreams selection screens.
Each time you enter the screen, the Others image will randomly change to show different characters that fall into that category. The images also change from black and white to color when you hover over them.





The different dreams that you will be able to see during your story will be listed here. They will be black and white and will change to a color version once you have unlocked it for replay.

We have scheduled an server maintenance on 8/2 from 7:00-8:00 UTC. The servers will go live again when maintenance is complete. Sorry for all the inconvenience and the maintenance could be postponed incase of unexpected technical issues. Thank you for your understanding and support.

For some of the unsolved issues and bugs, we will fix them in order of priority as soon as possible.
