News about 3.0 (Tracklist, animations, etc).

Hey, guys. Some news I have for 3.0. Some good, and some not-so-good.
Some of the good stuff.
As I said in a previous post, following update 2.0 would come 2.1, which I planned to be the one where I remade some of the renders done in my CPU. This update would also come with a tracklist of the songs used that are not mine. And last - as a surprise - animations. Yup, you read it right.
The thing is, since Chapter Three, "Beyond" is dedicated to the Player Character's study of magic, it'll be split into three parts. Mind, Body, and Soul. Shorter subchapters, but overall, longer.
I somehow managed to finish most of the first part, so It'll be landing rather quickly. Due to that, I see no point in updating the game to 2.1 since 3.0 is so close. So, instead, what would be coming for a 2.1 will be on 3.0. Which we can all agree is great.
Some of the not-so-good stuff.
Starting with the worst one, while I was writing and re-running through the game I noticed I did not include any variables for Chloe's scene in Chapter Two, making it impossible to track for future choices (which breaks the story massively). Something that makes evident how much I rushed it before being one-hundred-percent sure it was good enough. So, because of my mistake, older saves will not work on 3.0. I am very sorry for that.
Another thing I noticed is that after Chapter Two, Andrew's fighting advice to the Player Character in Chapter Zero glitched. Since I indented "Annie" and "Andrew" in the same way, Andrew's name was changed to Annie's, which was probably very confusing to new players.
About animations, it's always good to have them, yes, but they do not represent the quality I want for my game. Unfortunately, I'm not working with a great rig, so that's everything I can do for now. At this point of development, I can't even think about saving for a new GPU. The money I've earned was spent on buying some more RAM and assets I needed.
As a way of getting a bigger audience, I've been thinking about launching a second game, with a story and setting that gives me a lot more freedom for writing lewd stuff. I'm not gonna say much about it, because I'm not getting near it until I'm sure it's not going to jeopardize my main and (at the moment) most beloved project.
Overall.
All the bumps aside, I wanted to make this post to list what's coming for 3.0.
-Animations on Elena scene in Chapter 0 and Chloe's scene in Chapter 1.
-Some (not all) renders redone.
-Tracklist.
-Font tweak.
-Journal system (sort of).
-First romance option (providing you've done a particular scene).
I hope by the end of this month I'll have a solid release for you guys, but, at the moment, that's all I have. See ya'll tomorrow with a World Concept.
Thank you for your kind support.
