What I've been working on

(To everyone interested in the next update, please pay attention to the last part.) 

 G'day or night everyone, the second pack of screenshots from the upcoming update was supposed to be the last one but, there are some news that may interest you. (And to show that I'm still alive.) 
This post is mostly an info dump but also contains few screenshots from the upcoming version. CG's are the same as in Patreon public post. 

Events: Of course, the main point of the post is to show you another pack of redone events that in most cases doubled in the script size. There has been some major and minor changes in each old event that not only improve the pacing and fun-factor from the player perspective but add much needed depth and build-up.

Gameplay: There are some changes to the UI, Map as well as menus. The aim of those improvements is to make visual novel gameplay loop as smooth and fun as possible. Players like to check characters, read what to do next and customize character's outfits. I've implemented few smaller and greater changes that will make overall reading experience a lot more enjoyable and less tedious/grindy.

Scenes: There's a ton of major and minor changes to the cg's as well as the places themselves. Characters will appear a lot more lively, the light and shadows will look much more pleasant for the eye and areas where characters spend time will appear a lot more realistic and detailed. 

Media/Websites upgrade: Expect a lot of visual uplift on all the Love Castaways-related sites, such as Patreon or Itch. There'll be new graphics, better descriptions as well as overall better visuals. 

IMPORTANT
Public Version: As it's obvious at this point, this update consumed a ton of my time, and a majority of delays came down to both my laziness as well as simply learning on a go "how to do things" code and story-wise. I know that there's an already passionate community that awaits  the update. Due to the things listed above, the next update will become instantly available for EVERYONE. This means that both supporters, as well as players that can't/don't want to support me will receive the update at the same time. Your support is greatly appreciated but if you thought about pledging a paid tier before 0.5.0, please keep in mind that it won't make you access the game faster. 

 As always, thank you for your support!
