New Release: Public Build 0.9.0

Happy New Year everybody!

Let's start 2021 with some good news - a new update of After Years is here! The main highlight of this build is continuation of Kegar's part of the story at the swimming pool, however, I've also made some minor fixes here and there - you can find a full list of changes below.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please use either quick resume option from the main menu or a save file created BEFORE the last scene of Kegar's route "At the swimming pool (part 4)" took place. While using an old file saved the game won't reflect any changes made for this scene in this new update (it's one of the RPG Maker engine's issue). Also, don't worry about the dialogue choice you picked in the previous demo - it doesn't matter in this part of the story.

What's new?

- Story up to Day 3 - Kegar's route (part 2)
- Players can now start the game from the beginning of each character's routes
- All occurrences of "..." are now displaying without delays
- Updated assets related to phone text messages, so the font is now bigger
- Rearranged credits page
- Minor grammar fixes

I hope you guys will enjoy this new content and as always, I will be looking forward for your feedback!

And speaking of the feedback, apart from some technical issues related mainly to MacOS build of the game (which hopefully can be avoided by playing Web-Browser version), some readers expressed their concern about Kegar's appearance. And while I don't plan on altering his design, at some point I will revisit the script to justify, why Welkin refers to Kegar as a "lion", despite him not looking like one.

PS. The Web-Browser version should get updated in a few days.
