Ramen no Oujisama v0.9.0 Release Post!

 [LAST UPDATE: 08-20-2019] - Update includes fixes! This build is more about enhancements and fixes. One of the fixes include how the save data's pointer is treated when loading a save game on a scene that we have touched up. It'll try to look for the nearest savepoint forward and backward first and load from there (we haven't placed these yet), but if those don't  exist, it'll try to look for the nearest dialogue forward and backward and load from there. If the pointer is out of bounds because we modified the scene in such a way that it essentially points to nowhere now, it will reset back to the start of the scene. So for certain black-screen scenarios, this will load your save game. This shouldn't be needed since old save games shouldn't be loaded up with the current version of the game, but more for edge-case scenarios.

I'm leaving the older version here, just in case anyone needs it. I'm watching out for bugs related to special scenes, like the face or part of the face not changing or showing up. I've fixed this before releasing this subversion, but if anyone encounters this, please let me know which scene you saw the weirdness appear in! ^^

Version 0.9.0 is here! This update is mainly about advancing and concluding the story of the 9th character! There are two new special scenes here. There's another one which will be added later in a v0.9.x release, more details to come as I put that together! 

The Mandarin translation also now covers the intro area, just before the routes start.

Please enjoy this release!

Likewise, if you encounter strange oddities, let me know! There's a known "bug" with the virtual keyboard. While in-game, if you press [Enter], it'll pop up. If that happens, press [Enter] once more to minimize it!

WHATS NEW!

• FIX! Added support for savepoint markers and fixed up pointer on load game to search for nearest dialog or savepoint, or restart scene if none.
