Hiya! Update 0.15 has arrived!

So first things first. I said in a previous devlog that this would be the ending of Tracy's route. I may have vastly underestimated how much writing would need to go into it. This update contains 14,000 words, which is slightly bigger than a usual update, and I still have a lot left to do for her route. This is the update where you get to go into the cavern though!

This update contains all of Day 6 for the Reject-Tracy route. For those who aren't sure how routes work, reject refers to rejecting Cajoru's offer each time it is given to you.

There is one new music track and one new atmospheric track. I wanted to make more but haven't had the chance. I also had the unfortunate issue of one of my flash drives getting corrupted while transferring music files. At least I have a backup.

There are no new art assets as Sarah has been dealing with a lot of life stuff at the moment.

So! I like to aim for getting an update out once every two months. Unfortunately this one took three. That's partially due to life stuff that was mentioned in a previous devlog, and also just because I got really out of practice with writing after my previous haitus. I used to have a schedule I followed to get a consistent amount of writing done each month and I need to get back to that. I also had to deal with writer's block through most of this update, but then suddenly this past week everything felt natural. So almost half of the update was written in this week alone.

Now, in terms of how things will continue: my goal is for next update to be the endings for Tracy's route. Her route, as well as every other characters' will have two different endings. The split for that will also be in the next update as well. I am also hoping that I might be able to speed up with writing sometime soon since I'd prefer to complete routes sooner than later. I know you're all looking forward to them, after all!

Oh yeah, a thing. I'm usually pretty nervous after releasing an update since I have no idea if people will like it or not, but then it's cool seeing people's thoughts and opinions on them afterwards. I actually have 0 clue about what people thought of 0.14, since I haven't seen any feedback on it at all outside of several people saying they liked Sean's sex scene. It could be that splitting my attention between three different routes last time didn't go over well. At the same time, writing got voted lower on the survey this time around than it has been on any previous updates, so it could just be that it was more of a miss than a hit with people. So hopefully this update goes better ^^' I am still getting feedback about previous routes at least!

Other notes: I finally figured out what was possibly causing save file issues in the past, and how to fix them more easily. Unfortunately there is a chance stuff may have gone weird for one of the android versions this time around. I'm not sure. The two versions share saves now and it will stay that way from here on out. But apologies if saves are messed up. And as another thing that I also mentioned in the last update: if I ever somehow mix up the sfw and nsfw android builds, you should be able to tell since the 18+ version has a warning upon startup. The SFW version does not. Unfortunately you can't actually change the file name of android vns or else all the saves disappear.

And now! Survey stuff since that's always fun to look at.

Favorites and least-favorites are fairly similar this time compared to before. But it's still fun to see!

And then next is what I added to this survey, which is your thoughts on each individual characters, and it was actually really interesting to see! The main surprise to me was that despite Jeffrey only being people's 3rd most favorite, he seems to be the most universally liked by quite a bit.

Edit: Ahh! Forgot to mention. If you find any bugs or anything like that, let me know so I can try to fix them!
