Update 0.57 - Shoichi (Crash Fix) (Patreon)

Hello, everyone,

I finally managed to get this update to work. I underestimated how much trouble it would be to try and include the profile screen into the game. It ended up majorly breaking the game and took me weeks to fix. First the game would fail to launch. Then it would launch, but trying to open the profile screen would cause it to crash. Then the profile screen would open, but would cause all text to become garbled upon closing it. Then the profile screen would have garbled text, but the rest of the game would work fine. So on and so forth. I think I managed to fix all of the bugs. My only concern at the moment is whether it will be compatible with older saves. I tried programming it to be, but I can only test so many scenarios and save files, so please let me know of any other bugs.

In addition to that, this update ended up being long in general. The update by itself is around 50% longer than usual (so Shoichi fans may rejoice on the extra long update). It also adds a LOT of art assets as well. Hopefully this makes up slightly for the wait.

I will TRY to get the Keisuke update out by the end of the month, but as I will be going out of town for a few days (it is my birthday on the 28th and my family insisted I visit), I can't guarantee I will have alone time at my relative's house to work. I'll bring my laptop with me regardless to write, but we'll see if I'll have to push it back a little.

• New day added for Shoichi
• Kissing bust retroactively added to most Shoichi kiss scenes (used when relevant)
• Kissing bust retroactively added to a couple Keisuke scenes (he doesn't have as many)
• New Tanabe sprite added to the game
• Profile screen added in. It'll load a basic profile if you use an old save file. Will slowly program in the flags so the profiles can have information added to them as the game goes along. It'll require going back and manually adding them to the entire game, so it'll be done slowly.
• A new character naming screen when clicking New Game. Now you get to chose Yuuichi's name and write it directly into his student ID.
