Build 05.26.21 release notes

Hello dear Patrons,

I know lately with the pandemy affecting all of us it's becoming a bit difficult to push updates more frequently, but today I finally bring you another update for HTopia.

The hightlights of this update is, I've officially started  development on Akira's story, which was already written a long time ago but since I was focusing on Arane's story I didn't have a chance to work on Akira, and now that Arane's story is coming to an end I can finally start working on the next story.

You are now able to playtest the Event 1 and Date 2 for Akira (no CGs included yet).

This update also includes a new location for the St. Bang Hospital where Akira works.

The engine has also received a bunch of updates and improvements, a major one is the support of hats for characters, currently just Akira has her nurse hat which you can see in the screenshot above, but in the future this opens up more outfit possibilities for the other characters.

Also, I've added some draft versions of the CGs for Arane's 2nd ending which is almost completely done, art wise.

I hope you all enjoy this update. Here are the rest of the release notes if you feel curious:
