Heyo everyone! I feel right out the gate, I will address the "detour" I mentioned in the title. Basically I decided to add an item called the "Band of Partnership" to the shop for SS coins in v1.0. This item will result in no extra Hcontent, but it will allow you to select a character at the end of the game to have a specialized "ending" with. It basically just includes a final conversation with the chosen character, and adjustments to the final endings roll. It's mostly just to add a little charm for the time invested.  

Other than that, I have finished connecting all the scenes and endings to reflect the state of your file (Yes the game is now technically in a state where you can boot up from square one, and play all the way until the final "Thanks for Playing" screen in full function). AmHidden has also delivered some of the last art assets, like the victory still, and backgrounds.

This upcoming week will be focusing on a few key things:

• Final touches on the save system's displays
• Working out some kinks with the keybinds(I ran into some issues when working with UI.)
• Optimizing the final boss music menu (The scene's load time is a bit long at the moment compared to elsewhere in the game because you are technically loading over 40 audio files that are about a minute long.
• Assigning Samga3's docs, and victory still to the Home Tent (Her theme will likely not be available to play in the home tent)
• A few important bug fixes

That list actually sums up the last steps until the base game is completed. I may not get it all done within the week, but I'm definitely going to shoot for it. Right... Back to it!

Catch you all next week! We'll see where we are at!
