Shelter v42 Build - The Kidnapping Order

Awoo mates!

Shelter build v42 finally here! It took a while and it's basically a length of two updates, but I really wanted to wrap it up at a specific moment this time. New stuff include:

• way over 18000 words of script, not counting a bunch of side gimmick text

• a bunch of new sprites, silhouettes and art in general

• PATHS extended to the end of MID-AFTERNOON along with a few quality-of-life improvements and visual indicators. If you're on old saves can't see the full available map of nodes, skip-redo the beginning parts of the game, because it may be related to unlockable variables I added in this build.

• brand new custom made quick menu with new icons and stuff!

• updated music gallery

• cut the build size by a hecking half by converting all of my visual files to webp format. I tested and readjusted everything as best as I could, but if you still encounter a crash or bug somewhere, please let me know on our Discord's #patreon-bugs-typos channel 

• fixed bugs and typos

• new bugs and typos

In case you aren't up to date, this is how you reach the new content:

• finish all three routes (Burry, Rune and Max)

• witness Rune's Mana Balls (don't whack him in the Early Morning)

• everything afterwards has to be done in the same playthrough. You should have a new conversation with Alon in the Early Morning. When you progress to Noon, he will appear again when you talk to Rune. Choose "Don't object". Progress all the way to the Evening and witness the scenes there. Choose to be passive.

Let me know in #patreon-bugs-typos on discord about any bugs or typos.

I hope you enjoy!

Awoo,

Raus Vuffski

EDIT: If you're experiencing an error where character dialogues lack textbox background art when you load old saves, you may want to start the game from scratch and skip to those parts instead, on a fresh playthrough. I cut Shelter's size from half a GB to a quarter by changing png and jpg files to webp, and some old variables in old saves don't agree with that. It's an issue that concerns only old saves, and new players shouldn't experience anything like that at all.
