We've just uploaded the new DEMO of the game, what's new in this demo is mostly code improvements and implementation of the new scene and variable system, so I'm going to split what got updated into two sections, what the average user does see and what might interest those who like a more technical point of view.

Changes that reflect to the user:

• Fixed bug where dialog appeared faster depending on text size
• Fixed some scenes where the art wasn't showing up correctly or weren't redirecting to the right scene
• New snow system made with particles, will be improved and reworked in future versions
• Added an alpha version of the first bad ending that can be reached already in the first chapter
• Introduction of an auto-skip feature that can be accessed by clicking the 'S' key on the keyboard(This feature is still in alpha, so it may be buggy, which is why a button hasn't been implemented in the user interface yet)
• Pressing the 'E' key on your keyboard will return the game to the main menu, this was done as the game menu has not yet been implemented and we wanted to give the user an easier way to restart their game than closing the app or reloading the browser window, so they could try multiple routes if they wanted to.
• Pressing the 'D' key on the keyboard displays the developer's overlay, which shows the value of the game's variables
• Android version, unfortunately the android version is not signed yet so it requires the user to have "install apps from unknown sources" allowed, the mobile version also doesn't have access to features that require clicking a keyboard button unless the user is using a bluetooth keyboard

Code changes:

• Implemented the new scene system via .json, more efficient with less consumption of resources and fewer files, in addition to much improved readability when compared to the old system via GDScript
• Variables modified to belong to a dictionary system, thus being accessible by .json
• LOTS of fixes and refactorings from previous systems to work with the new changes

Changes that can be expected in the next 7 days:

• Image compression and resizing to reduce .apk size for android
• Finalization of the auto-skip system and addition of a button on-screen interface accessible by both computer and android
• Beginning of work on the construction of the routes of the second chapter and production of arts related to it
