Press-Switch Version 0.6a RELEASE

--------Update--------

Press-Switch 0.6a

-------------------------

Version Size difference

v.5c: 43,221 screens (average of 14.4 words per screen) (total of 621,814 words) (266 menus)

v.6a: 56,821 screens (average of 13.0 words per screen) (total of 737,223 words) (301 menus)

You may notice the word count is not significantly higher, this is due to me removing the unseen content from this release. Had I kept that in, the word count difference is about 300~400k. This update is about as large as 0.4, and like 0.4, most of it's content is one location in the game. Though this one is uh... less of a confusing mess.

What is new?

- New Path: Family Swap (Ciel). The major focus of this update, which focuses on Calvin switching all the bodies of his family in hopes they learn more about each other. Things do not go exactly as expected, and Calvin is forced into a scenario more stressful than he originally planned. This path is not complete, but the conclusion to certain variants will be coming in the updates after this one (much smaller). That said, there is a good amount of content and plenty of endings to find, even if no "true" ending is in the game yet.

:::::::::

Disclaimer:

This new path is not finished, and the true endings are all pending conclusion. You can expect those endings to come in shorter time frames than this update. I will likely release each one individually. I personally felt there was enough content to warrant a release, and I was also feeling myself rushing from wanting to get content out, so I decided in order to not see a drop in quality to release now.

:::::::::

- Path Revamp: Trio Swap. One of the first paths of Press-Switch, where Calvin, Mika, and Ashley switch bodies has been revamped and rewritten, or rather... the introduction is written. It only lasts until gym class, so it's not large, but it will serve is a nice launching point for a future update. 

- Old Content that was removed is back in the game, this includes the Eliza path where you clone yourself into Elena, Eliza's new twin sister. This also includes 0.4, though I can attest 0.4 is not entirely working visually. Multiple images are incorrectly placed due to changes in sprites since that version and this. One day I will perhaps fix them. For the best experience for 0.4, I suggest the original version, but this one should be mostly functional besides a few visual displacements and possible wrong expressions on characters.

- Mild alterations to multiple paths for consistency.

- New UI

- Finally updated to a modern version of Ren'py, even if I'm still stuck at 800x600 (maybe someday).

- Multiple new screens, including a new DSM screen for the device itself. This is only introduced in this version, but I plan to utilize it more in the future. Even if it's mostly for tactile affect.

-------------------------

What is coming in the next updates?

-------------------------

- An ending to one of the family swap variants.

- Possibly other path content

- While I do not know when, a sprite viewer, and a more detailed Bio Screen for the characters.

- Revamped Menu, currently it's quite placeholder.

- Splash screen, hopefully a video introduction to P-S.

NOTES

-------------------------

-I am sure there will be bugs and typos, for all of those, please point them out in the Discord in the appropriate channel. #ciel-cleanup-bug-reports

- As per usual, please do not use older save data, it will likely crash.

- It's a very common bug that characters will incorrectly display upon loading a save. Rollback a view times or keep going and they will correct themselves. One day I'll... figure out how to deal with that.
