I love Blossom to death but she's a pain in the ass. Here's where we are:

AS YOU CAN SEE, this build is ready for release... all but Blossom's last two scenes. And I hate to say it, but I'm stuck on her. This happens more often than you'd think, but every idea we come up with, my gut feeling tells me just isn't quite right. And I don't write an idea until it feels right.

So the question is, do I just say fuck it and release 1.4.5.0 as-is, without Blossom's D and E scenes? Or do I continue to fight with her stubborn ass?

I asked the team, and they said release it. So that's what we're doing. We'll finish the two scenes that should have been in this build when inspiration strikes. For now...

RELEASE SCHEDULE:

• April 25th (Now): T5/T4 Supporters (found at SubscribeStar, Patreon, and now Itch for $25 if you want instant access)

• Senia DLC v0.7 update
• Fantasies Collection v0.6 update

CHANGELOG:

1.4.5.0 - Side Story Content Update

• Blossom scene count increased to 3
• Gillie scene count increased to 5
• Jade scene count increased to 5
• Princess Tilai scene count increased to 5
• DLC Compatibility change (Senia will be updated soon)
• Added hover sounds to the Character Book which announce the characters' names when you hover over them
• Adjusted alt text for self-voicing mode to fix issues with Aoibheann's name pronunciation
• Adjusted alt text for self-voicing mode to partially fix issues with text conversations (name repetition)
  NOTE: Currently, the self-voicing in text conversations will skip the first line of the girl you're talking to when the conversation initiates or when the speaker swaps back from Aurum to the girl. Researching how to fix this, but it's better than just hearing the girl's name 15 times before each text message.
• Various tweaks to several main story and side story scenes
• Removed Episode 4 Preview button from free time after Season 2 Episode 3

Previews:

Happy to have this one out. It took far longer than we wanted. Thank you all for sticking with us!
