As for v0.8 the progress is.. well.. the content is completed! We are just in bug testing phases now. Let's do a full outline of what to expect:

Changelog:  

MAJOR:
-New Character: Mei(Shopkeeper)
-New Modifiers: Retribution, Stamina
-New Shop System: Memberships
-Extra Mei Scene(on top of her main scene)
-New "Auto" option in Sandbox mode.  

Minor:
-Removed final section of "Gravity" segment in platform section.
-Note spacing visuals (can be turned off in settings)
-Cleaned some dialogue option orders (putting "Nevermind" last)
-You can no longer enter the shop until Samga and Pica tutorial is complete
-Ritual Threshold reduced to 40 from 50
-New "Stacking Effect" panel alongside the "Modifier Info" panel when picking modifiers. -Needle and Sap have been nerfed
-new Yu sneak peeks.  

Bug fixes:
-Fixed bug with Faye's hscene speed (again...lol)
-fixed bug where crits from "Perception" did not count towards perfects for "Ritual"
-fixed bug where Samga's SFX didnt work properly in some animations.

That's the brunt of it. I'll elaborate a bit on some things.
-"Extra Mei Scene": Mei will have her main hscene, as well as another unique fully animated scene. You may have seen sneak peeks of this in previous posts.
-New modifiers:
Retribution: Upon losing, instead of getting a game over, you restore 25% progress, and get several helpful modifiers applied to you. (You will receive less Rep if this effect triggers).
Stamina: Reduces the "decrease rate" over time.

Retribution can often be a life saver if you like to stack very difficult modifiers, and can also serve as a safety net for the "Doom" multiplier.

Anyways... The progression in this update is as follows:

In the shop S coins will unlock "Memberships".  There are 3 tiers of memberships available, each presenting their own perks/things to do with Mei as well as giving shop discounts.

At first there will be 1 membership which will unlock her base Hscene. Upon completing this, 2 new memberships will become available. These memberships will include her 2nd Hscene, endurance, dressing, and other quirky things. Almost everything in this update is in the shop itself. You can choose to talk or shop upon entering.

There's not a whole lot to show, visually, but heres what the new spacing looks like.

It's to help when you start mixing messy modifiers together, you can keep track of the spacing of the notes much easier. If it feels intrusive to you, know there is a setting to turn them off as well.

I won't eat up anymore of your time, so I will be off! Thanks for checking in! I will catch you all in a few days when Mei hits the stage!
