Quest Failed: Chapter Two - Alpha Build 0.5

Hiya there, guys!

It's been a long time coming--but I've finally wrapped up the majority of the legwork for alpha build 0.5! And it's now available to download for all who received the alpha in the last month or so--simply go to the folder which contained alpha build 0.4 and the 5th build should be beside it now like magic! You'll want to start a new game as a lot of new variables added will more than likely break things.

I'd like to apologise again tremendously for the delay on this--it really shouldn't have taken this long for the level of content. I think I just got a bit over-confident in what I could deliver in such a short amount of time and floundered for a little bit. I'm going to aim for much more frequent alpha builds with perhaps not as large amounts of content added each time--but work on the larger segments behind the scenes in a slower, less rushed manner so every now and again I can still surprise you all with a large update among the smaller pieces of content that steadily build up along the way.

Thank you all so much for your patience, and I hope you enjoy what the new build has to offer! Here's a basic breakdown of what's been added on top of the existing content:

- Wrapped up the latter half of the 'library' quest writing. (Some of  the warmer, fuzzier stuff I've written that expands a little more on  Matt himself along with his new friend he makes~)

- Added voice to the library h-scene (And gosh is it adorable!)

- Added a new event that can happen at the inn that teases a few new characters with a fancy CG

-  Updated Bella's sprite with the fancier new one that better represents  her and updated her scenes to reflect this. Her h-scene still needs some  tweaking to reflect her new look though

- Added a new quest  which introduces not one, but two of the new characters along with some  lengthy interactions with each, along with the chance to interact with Bella again, potentially. Only 1 h-scene present here as the 2nd one needs just a touch more work--so this quest ends abruptly just before the proper ending for it, but I aim to make a quick update to feature the new h-scene with its voice acting--I just didn't want to delay past the month all for one little scene!

As per usual with the alpha, lots of things are rough with some placeholders here and there and not everything works as it will in the full game--with some alpha dev shortcuts here and there to allow you to experience some aspects of the game out of order.

Due to the complexity of some of the added scenes now, and some that may be easily missed, I'm going to make something of a spoiler guide for alpha testers in the next post to help those who may need it, to ensure you experience every scene in the game thus far!

And like always, if you run into any issues with the alpha, please let me know and I'll issue a fix as soon as I can, as there's a good chance I've overlooked some gamebreaking bug. Hopefully not, but I'll be alert for things!

Thanks again and enjoy!
