Early Access 0.1629.0: Copycat Storyline Continuation (Yes That's Its Name Now)
Added 2025-03-16 17:42:44 +0000 UTCHello, cakes!
Before I get started on the details, I will unfortunately have to begin with an explanation and an apology. No, nothing all that serious! But...
This update will likely 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.
Anyway yeah, I'm really sorry about that. I resisted upgrading the engine for a long time due to players suffering from this exact issue in the past, but I really couldn't put it off any longer. Now with that said, on to the update, which needs nowhere near as many words to explain ^^;
This one adds a bunch of new scenes for the ongoing villainous storyline, which I'm calling "Copycat" going forward. As my artist is a little busy for the moment we don't have any new art this time, save for a single background that I added from my stock library for one of the scenes. Rest assured though, there's a lot planned~
In the meantime, please enjoy the new writing and I'll be back soon with more updates!
