Public Release 0.1630.1: Copycat Storyline Continuation (Yes That's Its Name Now)
Added 2025-04-12 07:18:29 +0000 UTCHi, everyone!
Before I get started on the details, I need to make the following announcement:
This update will possibly corrupt your existing saved games and reading progress, caused by my updating the Ren'Py engine I use for making Penlight to the latest version. If this happens to you, you can mitigate the inconvenience this causes by selecting Preferences from the main menu and turning on "Unseen Text" and "Transitions" under the Skip submenu. That'll save you from having to click through every line of text again until you get to the parts you want to read.
So yeah, sorry if that causes trouble for anyone. Anyway, on to the update...
This one adds a bunch of new scenes for the ongoing villainous storyline, which I'm calling "Copycat" going forward. This brings the story up to pretty much the end of the sixth day, and includes new sprite art, music and a CG made especially for the new content. I'm excited to see what you all make of it~
I hope to continue this momentum into next month as we barrel on towards the conclusion of the Copycat story, with at least two more new CGs along the way. Please look forward to it ^^
