Hey everyone! The next NB update is almost ready for testers to take a crack at! Summer's story is starting to take a more definitive shape as the first week nears its end, and it's getting pretty dark >:-}

Your choices and resource management skills will play a bigger part in what ends up happening to her than the previous updates, so make sure you're at the top of your game!

I've been learning some new tricks as far as HUD management goes (at least the plugins I'm using to implement it) so I can now introduce different HUD elements as the story progresses. Before I was worried about showing you unlearned skills and thus giving away spoilers, but no longer. Thus, manual labor will now show up instead of being a "hidden skill", and your science/humanities skills won't appear until relevant. In fact I don't think they were even in the HUD in previous builds!

Making one of these days is a little more involved than the typical Harshville update as there are a lot of different characters to progress, and I've also been polishing up the previous days, thus the slowness. I think it'll be worth the wait though.

Anyway, I'll have a tester build up on Saturday at the latest!
