Hi guys!

A few things -- we'll be updating versions in this number format from now on, so we can keep track of the revisions.

The new update is short, and not a lot happens, but it sets up multiple things that'll be relevant in future updates, namely the main plotline, new relevant NPCs, the ability to visit the love interests in their homes, and the new NPC store (atm it's under construction, I'll explain in a bit). There will also be more scenarios where your actions can influence the wider story.

The home visits, while simple right now, can become intricate over time. You'll be able to discuss your thoughts, bring up old topics, and even gift the LIs items that can unlock unique paths and interactions.

NPC Store: Work-in-progress

I initially tried to launch the NPC store in this update. All the assets had been prepared. Unfortunately, when we finished coding it, we kept running into a bug that people kept experiencing, and even with the workarounds, people kept running into that same bug.

I wouldn't want to lock off the players to certain outcomes because they were not aware of this bug, and kept going through the default route.

I'm hoping to fix this by the next update!

EDIT: I forgot to mention why we didn't fix this before launching this update. My programmer is headed to another country next month, and is preparing to move. If we didn't launch this as is, we'd be waiting at least 2 more months for such a small update, and I didn't want to do that to you guys. We will do our best to have it up and running in the next update!

For now, I hope you all enjoy!
