New version all! v2.9

I was hoping to finish up all of episode 3, but as usual there is more I feel needs added. Good news though... Besides two more chapters (and moving off the Demeter!), all of the game has music now, a lot of music, hand-picked, curated, etc. Also added an adjustable gamma slider in preferences for those who find a scene too dark.

I counted 44 pieces of varying musical lengths that I hope you guys enjoy, because it was even more work than I anticipated, but happy to have it done. Since I was going over the game as I was doing that, there are more sounds added also (probably added as much there as music), a few narrative tweaks/streamlining and coding upgrades. Nothing to go hunting for, but you may notice on another playthrough. Which I highly recommend for the music ofc!

Anyway, the next two chapters finally see the light past the Demeter (pacing could have been better here, but it accomplished a lot of my goals for the story, so thanks for bearing with me). We meet the final few love interests and important story characters who are near and dear and are fully setup for the final showdown next episode with the Darkness beyond to tie up the "Rescue" arc.

Then we can finally get back to unravelling the new mysterious, getting to know our new characters, and get down to some overdue debauchery with characters we have built some serious ties with.

As usual, please report any bugs to me, preferably on discord, but in direct message is fine too, or suggestions, etc.

Thanks to all those of you following this journey with me, -Ace

Have made a decent chunk of progress into the next scene, which will be the last before we return home to the Antares. It is at a good point so I figure by tomorrow or the next day I'll have the post work, music, and sounds added to this section and can put it out as a test build for the top tiers and filter it down the list like I used to before life threw some curves.

Yay for milestones! "The Call of Darkness" crossed 100 subscribers today and while most are admittedly just followers, your interest in the game is still appreciated! Thanks to all of you!

The end of Ep 3 is close and the "Rescue Arc" will be completed with it. I am looking forward to that as much as I know many of you are, especially as the next act we can start to put the pieces together from everything we learned in Ep3 and explore the relationships with the new characters that have rounded out the crew and deepen the ones we have already built up to this point.

Uploading the full 2.8 Build now. It contains the next couple scenes/chapters. As well as some music and audio additions to previous chapters (Ep1 is now fully kitted). There is now more than a dozen musical scores, an equal amount of which were good stuff shared freely by others, some licensed, and some I had to create myself with a little help. I also did my best to localize everything to already existing sounds and levels, but let me know if anything is out of sorts. This is another story focused update, but things will pick up soon thanks to the addition of a character that has waited far too long for rescuing... something we finally get to resolve.
