Version 0.3.2 is now LIVE!
[p]Hey everyone!
It's been a hell of a dev cycle. A lot's happened. Many of you were around for it, so I won't go back into detail on that, but Rivers of Astrum: Daughter of Darkness, version 0.3.2 is now live on Steam!
Before we get started ... BIG DEAL ... There's an almost certainty that prior saves will not work in this version, due to the retcon changes made to the code, to incorporate the Simplified Chinese translation. I try as much as I can to avoid save game compatibility issues, but I'm simply beginning to believe (due to the nature of their CAUSE), that - with my direction for the game - it may simply be something that has to be suffered through from time to time (for both you guys and me) until the game achieves its 1.0 release.
I wanted to make that much known upfront at least. I certainly don't do it on purpose, but there are a thousand instances i can think of in which it - unfortunately - becomes unavoidable. Most especially when adding new code to old content (such as integrating a new translation).
With that dark cloud out of the way though, on to the update info!
This version includes a lot of exciting new stuff!
If you start a new game with the update, you will get all of the updated info on specifics for the game's systems, for those of you who choose to read through that :)
[/p][p]Replay Galleries!

(this image was taken during development, before the list was finalized, and doesn't reflect the current scene order displayed in-game)[/p][p][/p][p]Several scenes are now available for replaying at your discretion, once unlocked. More scenes will - of course - get added to it later in development, as those scenes occur in the game.[/p][p]
Notes on that: [/p][p][/p]

[/p][p]Specifically, one miss Kiara Weatherly. She's a quirky ball of energy! She's a lot of fun, if i do say so myself![/p][p]
Chinese Localization!

Rivers of Astrum: Daughter of Darkness now comes with translations for Simplified Chinese!
(Traditional Chinese is in the works, but no timetable on that yet. I will try to get included as quickly as I can. All other major languages are still on the table, but it will take time to get to them all)

[/p][p]They're here now! There are only a handful at the moment, and I don't plan on having more than around 30 at most, by the game's end. More will be added as the game progresses through development :) [/p][p][/p][p]It's worth noting that I'm the first person in the world to get all achievements in the game XD [/p][p][/p][p]A lot of systems got added that will streamline additions in the future, for things like the achievements and replay galleries. Now that the framework is in place, it won't take any time at all to add to them in the future. This update continues the story, and hints at where it's going in the future! I can't wait for you guys to continue Kim and crew's journey! [/p][p][/p][p]Best wishes! [/p][p][/p][p]~Paper Tiger [/p]

[/p][p]Replay Galleries!
[/p][p]
Notes on that: [/p][p][/p]
- [p]The Replay Gallery WILL NOT respect your filter preferences. Meaning that if you don't have heterosexual content toggled on, but have (somehow) unlocked a hetero scene, you will be able to view it from the Gallery, even with hetero content toggled off. This is a function of the replay mechanic in Ren'py. If there exists a way around it, I'm not aware of it. (If anyone knows of a way, I'm all ears! :D)[/p]
- [p]I got every major scene. But if anyone notices a segment that they think belongs in the Replay Gallery, but isn't there, feel free to ping me, so we can discuss it :)[/p]
