I'm so happy that I managed to release before the 25th of my time ^ ^
Note though that I haven't tested all events/quests but a majority of events were tested

Notes about this beta :
- Not grammar edited (some weird typos or sentences will probably still exists). The game will be checked by my editor only after it's finished as she checks my code directly and this used to cause issues if we don't wait for things to finish first.
- Kor's sprite isn't revealed yet, as I will only reveal her at the third beta or above as I want her to remain secret for now.
- Fixed points system, as previous beta points can be below 0 and above 100. Points for characters can still be above 100 but the main issue for the game if they reach under 0 as it may cause events harder to trigger.
- Only Thane's dating 'minigame' is able to run in this beta as the others aren't fully coded for their reactions (May update this in the end of July or early August so they can be accessed) However, they do all have new events up to their second date, and I did code a placeholder dating minigame for other characters so you can still progress their routes up to their second date. (For Quill he'll ask you to propose to him, Thane will as you to dance on water, Arshem will go to the island with you, Lyall will introduce you to Margaret/Pike's Village)
- The game will end before you decide your decision with Io, if it ends/crashes before then or your reached 4th July in-game then it's an error and please report to me
- There are 2 Game Over story endings in this beta, 1 in Io's arc and 1 in Meyza 's arc.
- I haven't tried this beta on an older save, as I prefer to test betas with a new one due to new objects coded into the game.
- If you experience any sprite overlay or crashes, please report them to me. With screenshots if possible.
- Thane's Cure option events and bonding events isn't revealed in this beta and is deliberately obstructed as it's a big flag to continue his route.
- Note : If you bond with Thane, you cannot reach the true end with Arshem and Lyall, but can still date them
- The talk option available topics might change in future builds, but the max is 11 topics. Gifts available to give to ur date in the minigame, besides the first tester with Thane (lint) are only the gifts they like, so don't be afraid to waste a gift.
- The boys dating locations are :
1. Thane (Garden (Mon, Wed, Fri) or Classes (Other school dates)
2. Quill (Church (Mon, Wed, Fri) or Sparring Filed)
3. Lyall will always be at the docks, but he will only be available after you know he works for Pike
4. Arshem is in the (archery field (Mon, Wed, Fri) or the courtyard (Other school dates)
-Some date events (Arshem, Lyall) may only trigger after you went to certain areas, like the potion class for Arshem if you've reached 25 points with him (2 hearts) or for Lyall if you've taken certain Quest (Finding Nemo Quests), visiting the port after Meyza's defeat
- There are currently 28 quests in the game. All should be able to be completed besides the fairy hair as Keppler's hair event triggers after Io's arc is done. Some may only trigger if you made certain choices, such as rooting the flower.
- Triggering the flower wall event might cause a majority of quests to be locked out due to people panicking (trigger at your own discretion)
- Prices and quest rewards may change in future builds for balancing.
- One of the Easy-to-miss quests is the cat photo quests which only triggers if you reject a weekend date with Arshem when he asked, and you went to Merry's pub after.
- Some transitions might still be odd due to it being in the beta
- If a character seems to have sighed or have an emote continuously for too long, then it is a bug and if you can report to me where you found it, that be great, but if not, that's fine.
- SPOILER : In case you didn't explore that much, the password for Mc's diary is Licorice (to open the folder) , LittleDemon (meyza's nicname for you), Bloodmoon, and Aegna.
- Talking to your quest giver for some quests (Vita Up, Confession Letter, Hot Milk, underwear in church guy) may grant additional rewards.
If you guys need a guide for this beta, please let me know ^ ^
