Hello! It's been a while since I've updated the game, and if you're not following me on social media, you might be a little in the dark as to how progress on the game is going. Story mode is still the last thing left to do, but I have completed writing the script and doing a few passes of editing, and am now beginning the long process of coding the script into the game, and drawing backgrounds/cgs/new character portraits as needed. It's ended up being around 76,000 words long.... so it will be a while before its completely done. After that I will probably go through every character in the game again and do some deeper balance changes, and version 1.0 will finally be complete! I hope you will be excited! Also, as a very preemptive warning, the minimum price to purchase Heatwave at will be increasing when version 1.0 releases, and the game exits early access. I have not decided on the exact price point, but I'd thought I'd let y'all know beforehand.

Here are some screenshots of story mode!
