Hi everyone,

Here we are in September, two months after the release of version 0.5.

Version 0.5.9 is still a minor update in the content that it brings to the story, but it's still a good one. If we talk about technical evolution and optimization... It is really a huge update.

The repeatable scenes with Yasuka will be introduced by continuing her story a bit. If you want to see the changes for Chiaki, you will have to start a new game.

The 0.6 version is well on its way, I wish I could give you a month when it will be released but I can only make an estimation, November(40%) or December(60%). Why so late? For the simple reason, that 0.5 brought a nice story with Yasuka and I wouldn't want to mess up 0.6 by trying to rush.

But enough talk here are the patch notes

# IMPORTANT

- The old skins won't work anymore, the whole system of displaying Sprites (in-game characters) has been thoroughly revised. For those who had special skins, 6,12 months, I will send them back in a private message. My apologies for the inconvenience, it won't happen again (I hope).

# Added      

- Added an alternative main menu when the Steam page is available
- Preparations for triggering Steam achievements
- Visual indicator when the player has to follow a specific plot and can't pass the time
- Added a money cache recovery tracking menu, to see how many caches have been recovered in each area. It is accessible either via the cheat menu if the cheats are not unlocked, or by clicking on the counter of recovered caches on a screen
- The music menu, allows you to listen to the music of the game (Main menu > Galleries > Music)
- Skins menu, accessible on the interface on the right side of the screen (in free exploration phase) or in the quick shortcut bar. Cheat codes previously used to activate skins have been disabled.
- Russian translation is now included by default in Extra Life (thanks to Tomasnuclear)
- Display on the quest page the path taken for eligible characters if the path hint option is enabled (Android version)
- Added Yasuka's repeatable scenes     
      Discussion in the cafe
      The scene in the bathroom
      NSFW scene in Yasuka's room

# Modifications 
- Changes to the game's music for copyright reasons.
- Modification to start the Asami quest. Endurance (2,3,4) instead of (2,4,6)
- Yasuka love longer requires completing the Asami quest, and sleeping at least once with Yasuka instead of 10
- Using the cheat menu now only requires finding the money caches at each location once overall instead of once per save. Synchronization on this new system is done when loading a savegame
- The cheat menu icon now shows the number of locations you have to complete before accessing the cheats
- The cheats allowing to change the character's appearance have been removed and replaced by the skin menu (see the additions).
- Reworked CG, background, and animation menus to make them easier to operate on mobile, and reduce resource consumption
- Navigation between save pages has been simplified
- Reworked all character sprites to simplify the addition of future outfits, accessories, etc.
- The sprite gallery has been temporarily disabled, following the rework of the sprites. Its return is planned in 0.6
- Chiaki's sprite has been replaced by an 18 years old version - Chiaki's dialogues have been revised to match her age
- Natsume's sprite has been reworked to better reflect her personality
- The characters of Natsume and Asami who appear in the park (Asami corruption path) have also been reworked
- Improvement of the dynamic display of clouds in the outdoor scenes
- Modification of the loading image (Android version)

# Bugfix  
- Various translation errors
- Simplification of the click on the interface elements
- Fixed the pause image displayed in the bathroom
- Blocked the quest to get the MP3 player
- Selection of some choices not currently implemented was possible (Android version)
- Crash when interacting with dumbbells in very rare circumstances
- Resolved soft locks in the Yasuka Love story under certain circumstances
- Reworked the validity check of skins, which was generating a false positive. Now only invalid skins will generate the warning.
- An image of a Yasuka CG ignored the use of the "Shaved" skin - Persistent data not saved under certain circumstances (Android version)
- Unlocking of some backgrounds was incorrect
- A static Yasuka CG did not match its animated version (classic version)
- Improved internal string tracking to facilitate fan translation

Have a nice day guys!
