Dang, this really took forever. BUT. We didn't give up, and, finally, Day 4 is out once and for all! Admittedly, we (me lol) tried to go too big for this update, and that mixed with life being rough as usual and certain writing and art blocks... Let's say it's a nice recepy for your game to take forever to launch again. My bad for that, but, as said, I believe we're at a point that it's a pretty nice update in general~

But anyway, what's new on Day 4?

• Day 4 in its entirety. As always, a whole day to explore where many things will happen. Some more important than others, but, hopefully, all entertaining.
• Several options to choose from during the game. There's a few differences between dialogues in this one, and even scenes that you can skip if you don't do some specific things? It shouldn't be too complicated to figure out, though, as long as you paid attention to the characters.
• New sprites for Robert, Hector and Mike. Including new clothing sets for everyone. Especially Robert, who got a new shirt for a while. You'll see more of that in the future.
• Several  new CGs, and I mean several CGs this time. Some of them have variations and others are the proudest thing I've drawn, period. As an artist, this is a very good chance for me to step out of my comfort zone and experiment sometimes, so... Yeah, I hope it's good enough~
• A few new background, including one that belongs to someone else, who gave us permission to use it in the game. Thank you very much~! It was exactly what I had in mind for it, so you saved me hours of searching.
• A small text that'll indicate which Day you're playing on the upper left corner of the game. We just implemented it very recently, so it's super basic, but it does the job for now. We'll figure out how to personalized it over time~

What's next in line?

• Day 5. Hopefully that'll take way less time than this one, and I'll speak up my thoughts about this after this small segment.
• We're planning on re-working the phone call / messages scenes in a way that you'll be able to see both characters on screen while they happen. We're still figuring out the details, but it's something I'm personally excited to try because they'll make them more fun.
• Due to some very specific scenarios on Day 5, I'll probably count with some background art from an artist friend of mine who's willing to help me with that. Because I hate drawing detailed backgrounds, I'm sorry.
  
• On the same note, we might be able to get music from another artist I've contacted. So far, he's worked on a demo for a new intro song for the game, which might be accompanied by a new cover art! On a small side note, I have to thank EVERYONE, especially our patreons, for supporting us this far! It's thanks to you that we can even afford hiring someone for music, it's HUGELY appreciated!
• As specified in previous devlogs, chances are we might get this game translated into different languages. Some work has been done already, and we'll implement what we have on a future update. Again, the help is super appreciated <3
• Because of all this, I want to (ideally) work on an improved credit CG. I'm going to keep that one a bit vague for now, but there's good intentions here~

Anything else?

Absolutely. As mentioned before, while we're taking our time to work on this project, I'm personally not fully comfortable taking this long for just one update, no matter how proud I am of it. And, yes, some of that wasn't really our fault, since life kept us busy and on our toes, but a part of it was that I tried to focus too much on the art aspect and that killed my creativity for some time. Because of that, I'm going to try to keep the new art to a minimum on the next update. I might draw new clothes, since that doesn't really take me that long? And maybe a CG, but don't count too much with it for now. I want to focus on the writing process, and then helping out my team where it's needed to see if we can do this a bit faster.

Alright! Now that should be all. We hope you enjoy the new Day, and that you're having a good one yourself!
