Dawn Chorus v0.4 - Spooktober update (Patreon)

Hi, Keo here!

This might a bit of a surprise drop as we didn't set a release date this time. Today we're releasing the v0.4 build of Dawn Chorus, aka Spooktober update. In addition to the new scenes happening chronologically after the last update, inside you will also find a continuation of Klaus scene written for the Spooktober. We hope to spook you all with that one, we've put a lot of work into it, so be sure to check it out! To access it you need to take a walk in the forest after first meeting with Torulf, and follow Klaus into the deep forest. Who knows what you might find there? 

The update in total has around 11k words in addition to what already was in the game, however around half of that is the Klaus Spooktober scene. This time we've went back and did some changes too: now you meet Bjørn before lunch, and the scene in the common space with Torulf now has a CG! Tintiai did a great job with that one, so make sure to check it out.

We decided to postpone the implementation of the map until we have a clear vision of how we want it to look and function, and in the end only one CG was drawn for this update. We've converted all the audio files into lighter formats, so this build is noticeably lighter too. For some reason it's possible that this time Skip functionality might not detect the lines you've already seen in the previous builds, our playtester observed that unfortunately, so we recommend using Skip Unseen option.

Changelog:

- Spooktober special with Klaus

- 11k words of new scenes

- 8 (!) new tracks by Keo (these will be added to bandcamp later)

- Torulf CG by Tintiai

- Some of the backgrounds by Roborak were changed to new ones
