Sylving 0.3 Reforged is finally up! 

It's now available for download here on Itch, with a lot of updated elements to it. You can read all the changes bellow. It's mostly a repeat of my previous journal update, but it best sums up all the changes to the build.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know you all wanted to see chapter 4, but I was really struggling to make all the pieces fit as the story was. But now, I finally know how to go about things so the line is better put together. My original draft for chapter 4 will be used for chapter 5 instead, and I know what I want for chapter 4. I'm feeling more confident about my writing moving forward, and will soon be looking for an editor when the raw script is done.

this build includes: 

-Updated the writing    
-Gave the main character a bit more details to his backstory when he first enters the cave 
-Jakob is now a blacksmith instead of a baker
-Geir no longer has an accent and his attitude colder
-Agnarr mentioning meeting Geir in chapter 1 is retconned, along with the mention how dangerous the forest is as it didn't seem like an appropriate moment to bring it up
-Soren will share the blacksmith scene with Jakob 
 -Geir replaced Soren's scene outside the inn, carrying the big sack of flour
-Polishing character sprites (mostly Agnarr and Jakob) 
-New Wallpaper
-Minor background tweaking
-Moving the camera for the background in some moments
-One new original acustic song called "Myself", which was made for the main character.
 -There are more moments with songs and updated sound effects 
-There's now an ambience channel in the sound setting, and the codes has been worked on so sound, voice, music and ambience are now properly set compared to the mess before 
 -Multiple license-free songs
-Animation added for the mirror scenes in chapter 3
-Polished the comfort scene with Agnarr in chapter 2 to give it more frames and anatomy that's closer to his base design

The biggest change is around Jakob, as being a baker didn't really add much to the story and characters. So it was changed to be a blacksmith to repair things and make new stuff needed further down in the story.

I decided to use some free licensed songs from Pixabay. Commissioning new songs are expensive, and there's been 3 unusable songs that I've already paid for that doesn't fit in with the story at all sadly. 

I usually post WIPS to Patreon and my private Discord server, but I'll make journals here with general updates. 

WARNING! With how messy things got in the progress of working at this, your savefiles are most likely all corrupted. so you'll have to start over.

I want to give a huge thank you for everyone supporting me and my Sylving project! Everyone who's been helping me on Patreon (listed in the end credits) and to all the wonderful comments, you guys are just amazing! I know my work is a little messy still, but to see so many who enjoys and believes in my story which is so personal to me ,^.=.^, it lifts me up and drives me to work hard to make this visual novel the best I can make it.

I hope to see you guys around!
