#Demons in Catalyst: Blind Faith cannot speak of or read the word of deities! Ofelia would kindly redact the numerous mentions of the Goddess of Mercy so that Yech, a demon of generosity, can participate in the activity. Hope you guys have fun with the chaotic preview! #indiegame #horror #vndev

I've let #SLWD out from my temporary jail. I've also released new version with some minor adjustments (no story addition, see the devlog). Game link: altila.itch.io/secret-libra... #vndev

Annnd the planner feature for #DaddyDatingGame has also been UI-ed (before and after view)

Also updated the choice menus while in SMS mode to look like you're actually sending a response message (or not)

Progress!

Text messaging is done for #DaddyDatingGame

It uses NVL mode but has a "memory" of previous conversations (by person/group) and shows a hint of who you're talking to in the background so it's less confusing when the game switches between convos

Progress!
