 >Uh, 1.0? What? I know it's a bit weird, but I'm doing version numbers by Volume. Thus, version 1.0 just means I consider Vol. 1 to be "feature complete". 

There's still going to be bugs to fix and it'll be a little rough around the edges but overall the Volume is just about done. Every Volume will be another whole integer, so when Vol. 2 is complete it'll be version 2.0, etc. 

 Vol. 1 Beta Change log:

 -New GUI! That means a new title, new menus, new textbox, new choice buttons. Everything! 

 -Art revamp is complete. With the exception of some parts of chapter 6 and 7, everything prior to 8 has been completely redone and brought up to the standard of chapter 9 onward, giving the VN a consistent visual quality.

 -New content in Chapter 7 and 15. Both are massive spoilers, but you can't miss them. Especially 15. Play 15. 

 -New music, both original and featured! Some of the older songs have been replaced with more thematically appropriate music, overall the soundtrack should feel more consistent in its theme. 

 -An actual credits sequence! 

 -New task bar icon! Look at that little flower! 

 Known issues: 

-Animations in Chapter 15 are still a bit janky and reset by themselves occasionally. We're still working on the animation framework and this should get progressively better every update. 

-if you use the scroll wheel to return back to the combat encounter in Chapter 15, you'll get an exception error. Just reload or rollback to fix it. 

-The auto button literally does nothing. 

-If you complete the combat segment in Chapter 15 and then reload a save prior to it, the combat segment will not load correctly if you reach it again. This can be fixed by just exiting and restarting the VN.

Enjoy!
