Hey everyone! Quite a lot to unpack with this update so let's get started!
First things first, the new 25% image increase is here and I'm very happy with how it turned out! Hopefully you all enjoy that higher image quality as well. This may cause some issues for people on extremely dated hardware. I'll keep an eye out on error reports but in general, this version should be fully playable for the vast majority of players.
As far as the main story is concerned, in my head, I imagined there would be a bit more substance but I think a lot of that is limited to the fact that I need to start designing maps for new areas very soon! I plan to get a headstart on that in this next update. But I hope you all enjoyed the little gimmick of this first 'dungeon' area. It's meant to be similar to the power plant in ZR1. I also hope to give Lucy a more active role in the near future. The Police Station didn't feel grand enough to really give her a reason to explore on her own just yet.
The real content, I believe, is with Meredith's story! I spent a lot of time trying to flesh out some of their interactions to help continue building up to what will eventually be that grand 'climax' moment ;P If you missed last nights announcement, I did decide to hold off on implementing a new scene due to concerns with pacing. I think you guys will see that the new content adds a bunch of new stuff all at once and adding that scene into the mix felt a bit too cramped. I'll get to work on new areas asap so that scene can properly debut soon!

That's everything for this update! As usual, if you find any glitches or bugs, be sure to report them to me over on the Discord channel.
I had to do a lot of save file conversion stuff so I will be closely monitoring this weekend to make sure people's save files aren't stuck or encountering some sequence break issues.
Thank you all so much for your patience and support! I hope you enjoy!

That's just me not having proper spots to put her in just yet! There's actually a really cute sprite of her in Stacy's Diner that's ready to be added but I want to get the Diner properly functional first. That will be a focus with this next update

Midday she's in the kitchen. Evening you can find her at the dinner table but she has no dialogue. After dinner, she's gone. What's going on with her?
