As of this post, BEYOND THE HARBOR 0.2.5 is finally here! Rejoice!

This version fixes nearly every issue I've had with the game, and features some new features as well!

Art Updates

So, if you took a look through the attached images, you'll see a few things!

1. Vee's sprite has been totally revamped! I had a lot of issues with her old one, but thankfully with the combined efforts of out art team we managed to recreate her from the ground up to better integrate her into the setting. They did an awesome job, especially thanks to all of your feedback, so thank you!

2. The opening scene is different, it has a unique image now! This one turned out absolutely gorgeous, and was done by our resident Spooky Stuff expert, Smelly Shark! 

If you looked at those screenshots, you may have noticed something else...

UI update

Yes indeed, there is a new UI in town! ... It's not entirely new though, it's basically the default UI with a little bit of flair. 

There were some people that suggested changing character name colors to designate who was currently speaking, but for BTH I'd like to keep the UI Uniform Black/White/Blue for a reason, so I added this little soloution: All important characters (sans Ollie) now have a white silhouette of their head appear in the textbox! This feature is still pretty undeveloped, so I'd love to hear your feedback on it!

Sound Improvements

So, yes! I've heard (somehow, over my own bleeding ears) your feedback! The sound design in the game isn't great, so I spent a few sessions remixing all the music and sound effects to be a bit less grating! The sounds are a bit quieter in general, so don't be afraid if you accidently open the game above 20 Volume!

Various Things

This update adds a cool little feature: the Progress Tracker! By completing certain Sections of the game, you'll begin to fill a hidden variable that keeps track of how much progress you've made in the game! You can check your total completion at the end of any route, try to see if you can hit 100%!

In addition, like all mid patches there are quite a few grammatical fixes! ... Mostly commas (thanks, Rock).

That's all I have for you now, thank you very much as always for reading BEYOND THE HARBOR!
