NOTE: Reports of some pretty severe glitches/issues with the Android build. Will be working tonight on attempting to remedy these issues and should have an updated build tomorrow! (March 20th)
=====
It's finally here! The process of swapping engines was quite a challenging one as it was less of a copy & paste and more of a rebuild from the ground up. However, now that that's over with, I think future updates to House Chores are looking very promising!
If you've played the first build, there is a little bit more 'meat' here in this update. The day/night cycle should work as intended now and you can re-visit scenes and get a little more out of them the second time around (the doorbell can't ALWAYS end the fun ;P)
I want to thank you all again for being so patient. I mentioned early on that House Chores wouldn't be getting the same amount of attention & priorities as ToP & ZR, however, I definitely did not want to go 7+ months without an update. Things are looking up in 2020 now. Thank you again for your understanding and support!
Don't forget to save FREQUENTLY! This is a brand new game on a new engine so I'm expecting to see a number of glitch reports. If you run into any issues, reporting them on Discord's House Chores channel is the best option.
Thank you all for your support and I will see you soon!

Yes, I was surprised that I could retain most of the VN elements of the original engine! I'm glad you enjoyed it! You are intended to re-view the scene but there's a glitch preventing that. I should be uploading a fix later today for PC (it's been fixed on Android)

2020-03-21 13:20:59 +0000 UTCWow I didn't knew this engine was capable of delivering an experience very similar to renpy! I'm so glad it'll essentially go in the same direction I hoped for initially! One thing though, in your post you mention that the doorbell can't always end the fun and revisiting scenes but after the doorbell I can't seem to find any way of replaying scenes or doing a new game doesn't get me further in the "end" scene either? Is that normal?

2020-03-21 05:07:40 +0000 UTCWhen they arrive, that is the end of the story so far. However, I do believe there's a glitch at that point too so I'm working to find & fix it hopefully as soon as today!

2020-03-20 16:05:21 +0000 UTCIt seems to get stuck in a loop / can't progress just after the doorbell scene and the "Tutor" and "Neighbor" arrive -- is that the end of the new content?
