(MAJOR UPDATE) The Festival of Esotre: Part 1

Hello, it's been a long time since I last updated, hasn't it. A few things have changed so let's talk about it. I had hit a bit of a roadblock with Chapter 1 and realized a few revisions had to be done so I could continue forward. It took a while and a solution has been found- thankfully there will be no major rewrite. Instead we'll be having a second prologue. This means that Chapter 1 will be inaccessible until the second prologue is complete. Additionally, you will need to start a NEW SAVE to avoid breaking the game. Sorry for the trouble, but the game will be better for it in the long run.  

Update Log:

Story:

• 13+ word update.
• Prepare for the festival with your friends and family
• Spend sometime with them in 2/4 routes.
• Go boating with Alberich and Finn or visit the Markets with Thea and Sieghardt.
• Meet Grand Cardinal Lior, the leader of the dominant religion in Nibelheim.

Gameplay/UI Changes:

• Dark Theme colours have been slightly adjusted. (If people have a colour theme they wish to see, I'll be more than happy to add them)
• Character Creation has been updated and streamlined: (Gender/Pronouns and Sex are separate categories for both adult and child character creations. Attributes chosen during Child Character Creation will be stored as different variables in the event I choose to do anymore flashbacks later on in the story.)
• Please note, that choosing after your sex (as an adult) I will assume your character will have the corresponding equipment down there.
• Music Credits have been updated.
• Fixed typos.

What to expect for the next update:

• The remaining routes with Linnet and the Empress.
• Some Codex Entries + childhood artwork of characters

Thanks so much for all the support while I've been gone. This project isn't dead. I hold it very close to my heart and I do want to see it to the end. Please enjoy the Festival! It's just starting.
