At last! The new update is here!

It's been three months since the last official update was released. Since then, there have been a lot of changes to the game. I'll explain each of the additions to the latest update.

As I've mentioned before, for this update, I focused on creating a minigame that will blend nicely with the visual novel portion of the game. On that note, I am really proud to say that I think I nailed it! With zero actual experience in game development, this is huge for me!

This is just the start, however, and I will continue improving and developing the game. Now that the foundation of the bartending minigame is now set, I can focus on creating and expanding the main story. If everything goes well, I also plan on implementing dialogue choices and branching storylines in the future. The bartending minigame may also be improved and added to from time to time, but the main focus for now will be the story.

I apologize for the story in this update being pretty much the same as Day 1, I had to remake most of the game from the ground up. The only thing that's really being reused from the last update are the background art assets. With my new artist, we redesigned and redrew all character assets to maintain art consistency, and with that, I feel that we're now aligned with the original vision I had for the game.

We are also releasing a tech demo for the public to try out the minigame that's included in this update. Think of it as demo to show off the new changes we've made to people that are interested in the game's progress, but haven't yet joined the Patreon. The story included in this demo isn't necessarily canon, as it was made just to be a taste of what will be in our Patreon builds. In spite of that, I still hope you enjoy it if you do try it out.

If you encounter any bugs or problems, please let me know, and I'll try to have them fixed in as soon as possible.
