Hey all, Kuro here, long time no see!

First off, I'd like to apologize for my silence concerning the state of the game. I'd like to take this devlog to say a few things before we get to the rather small update I just made.

1. I initially wanted to get the game released by the end of this year, but I realized that with the mountain of writing I'd have to do for all the new scenarios, my brain would get absolutely fried.

2. I've been in a bit of a mental slump recently with this project. In all honesty, my brain likes to waver a lot, which does interfere with my ability, and desire, to get this project done. I do still want to get this game released eventually, but I think it'd be best if I paced myself on it rather than try to rush my writing.

3. I'll be focusing on life for a little while during this process, not because I need a break, but rather, I need inspiration. I want to have this game be a genuine look at Kurohime(me) off stream, or, at least, as genuine as it CAN be when it's based on my streaming persona. Adapting myself into a character is harder than I thought it was.

In lieu of this, I'd like to announce that I'll be taking the rest of this year to refine the dialogue and inject the new speech system into the game's dialogue, for the "touch" and "activity" categories. You'll see evidence of my little dialogue experiment in the "talking" interactions, which have been in since version 1.1.

But this update is to give you all access to that dialogue. It turns out that there was a typo in the code for the interaction selection screen that would skip players to the end of the day. This was entirely unintended, and possibly a consequence of my decision to work on this game on late nights, which could result in neutral endings being obtainable within the demo's length without ever ACTUALLY interacting with Kuro.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope you can all enjoy what this game will become in the future.
