Hello and welcome to my first devlog!

Thank you to everyone who checked out Act 1 of "Actala: The Hero's Shadow." Listening to everyone's comments never fails to put a smile on my face (the good and the bad)! If you're up for leaving more feedback, there's a Google Form linked on the starting page of Act 1. I'd really appreciate it!

So what I have been up to for the past month?

• If you haven't noticed, I updated the game's splash art based on the results from a poll I posted on Twitter (the results were...a little mixed, but this one won out, barely!) I also updated the itch.io page, so it's now ocean themed instead of sunrise themed.
• I've been hard at work on the script. Liam's route is entering the proofing/revision stages now, and I am happy to announce that the total script is now over 220,000 words! 
• I have been making major updates to the UI! The speech bubbles got a complete overhaul, and I also updated the "Fragments of the Past" screen. Furthermore, I added "light/dark" reading modes, so that you can swap between whatever you find most comfortable to read. Expect to see all this stuff implemented in a future build.
• I programmed in a function to update your save files between different game versions. If you have an old save file, just copy it to the "saves" folder of the new game, and the game will automatically update it so that it is compatible with the new version! Expect to see this implemented in the next build. 
• I've been busy on the art for Liam's route. Currently at 25+ illustrations and counting!

I've also been much more active on my socials! If you want little updates on how the game is going, I'm quite active on Twitter @chattercap.

Thank you very much to anyone who is following Actala's development, and I hope you're having a great day.

Until next time!
