Loveless V.05 is here! (and some other general news)

Version .05 is here!

In version .05 you can now tackle Kaede the second rival.  Consiquences will begin to have an effect in this chapter, depending on how you dealt with Aoi and will continue to have ramifications in Chyoi's chapter

additions

• Kaede story is here!
  
• you can blackmail, murder, or peacefully talk down Kaede, though the information to get to the true blackmail, kill, and pacifist endings will require more work than Aoi did
  
• Hina will grow suspicious depending on your remarks and have unique dialogue based on whether or not you killed or blackmailed Aoi.
  
  • this is just an early taste of how the school will evolve with the more chaos that you sow eventually even making certain routes increasingly difficult as your blackmailing and killing begin to make everyone else more nervous.
    
  • Further some future targets will now begin to require additional steps or prerequisites to kill or blackmail them.

changes

•  Hina now properly flags certain dialogue options, more changes on this in later versions as the game grows.
  
• Aoi now has proper flags for a few still outstanding issues
  
• fixed a few scenes that were still allowing you to revisit them after or ahead of key items/information
  

Future changes

• due to my computer meltdown i was not able to rework Aoi's Death CG nor add epilogue CG's for Aoi this will be addressed in a micro update v.052 when i am able to properly render them out
  
• additional CG's for Kaede , there's a few that my old workhorse tower i've fallen back on just wont render
• Time limit changes for Kaede and Aoi, Currently Aoi gives you 5 days and Kaede gives you 15. I'll be closely watching feedback via the studio email or itch.io page for feedback on their timelimits and i may end up swapping them as Aoi is the "tutorial" rival and such a short time span doesn't make as much sense given how her code played out.

in other news

my main (read not slow as a snail modern )computer is sadly out of commission, i got word from the tech shop the motherboard is fried. 

The good news is that you're seeing V.05 because they were able to do a data transfer to an external hard drive which had most of my rendered CG's for Kaede i feared lost as well as my backup source code.

Unfortunately while this pushed Kaede out far faster than anticipated as i was very close to done rendering CG's is going to be incredibly slow, I'm planning on driving to another local shop to acquire a new motherboard that *should* work with my parts but until then Chyoi may just have to be cutsceen-less until i manage to get it working again.

As always, you can submit feedback, questions, concerns and suggestions to the itch.io page OR flybynightstudios.itch@gmail.com

Thank you again for your continued interest in support in loveless, and i hope to have my computer fully functional again within the next week or two so i can get in full gear to bring you update .06 Chyoi.
