(1.3.0.3 had a game-breaking Start Button bug that started you halfway through the story. Fixed in 1.3.0.4.)

So. Season 2 Episode 3. I mentioned before that it's time to get some shit DONE, and that is what we have done here. An entire update focused on progressing the main storyline, with just a sprinkle of side content scenes to go along with it. There is so much work that went into this update that I don't even know where to begin. I'll just say that I spend a shit ton of extra time on this one, mostly on the combat system.
And don't worry. If you don't like minigames, it's skippable. But if you decide to play it on the hardest difficulty, there's a secret character unlock in there for ya :) For those that DO play, there is adjustable difficulty and infinite retries. It's very akin to something like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, or Brain Dead 13 where you'll learn the right counters to every move over time and get better and better at the system as you learn and adapt to your opponent's style.
I'm also excited to announce officially that we've started working on our first DLC character! During this story, and any story in which we use this theater, there will be some opportunities for cross-promotion, so if any fellow devs wanna trade exposure, lemme know and we'll get a poster of your game up in this theater!
The available graphic slots are:
- Ticket Counter Left Slot (currently "Breaking Love")
- Ticket Counter Center Slot (currently "The Darkness")
- Ticket Counter Right Slot (currently "I Hate Hue")
- Large Lobby Poster (TAKEN! "That New Teacher" by TheeRogueOne)
- Medium Lobby Poster 1 (TAKEN! "omiSt" by Hanamura)
- Medium Lobby Poster 2 (currently "Right Between the Stars")
- Medium Lobby Poster 3 (currently "Behind Bars")
- Medium Lobby Poster 4 (currently "The Stolen Nights")
- Inside Theater (the movie the characters will be watching; should match one of the other slots)
If you would like to submit a graphic or graphics for cross promotion in WCA, please let me know! I'd like to build them into the map soon! And let me know how I can contribute to your game!
Massive thanks to Necromedes, who helped me with a large part of the brainstorming and planning for this episode, for the next episode, and for a bunch of upcoming side content as well as side content featured in this patch. He even shot a couple of these scenes to take them off my hands. Thanks to Hanamura for shooting a couple of scenes, as well. Lets me focus on the writing, which I believe elevates the quality of the product as a whole. And speaking of Necromedes, Pinup Pack 11 - Pool Party will be out very soon. Public gets the 15 swimsuit shots, and Supporters will get those plus 15 topless shots, so if you needed motivation to sign up...

Supporter Bonus Shot:
(Supporters get it without the censor, of course)
Anyways, that's coming out fairly soon, so keep your eyes peeled. I will also be doing a poll fairly soon to see what you as a community want us to focus on following this release. Until then, enjoy S2E3! I'm expecting hate mail for the S2E4 Preview at the end!
