**New Horizon 0.2 Is Ready!**

Hello world, it's KS.
I'm not dead, don't worry. Sorry for my lack of presence here and pretty much everywhere else. I've been too busy balancing life and making this game update for the past 4 or 5 months.

This is a big update. I have struggled a full year for this.

I have to be honest, I actually made almost 6000 renders in total for this update, but almost 2000 of them are obsolete.
The reason being I first remade those 2000 renders for 0.1.5 back in August last year. However, in November, before I started making renders for 0.2, I updated the look of my characters.
After I got done with making renders for 0.2, I couldn't stand how different the characters look, so I spent two extra weeks to remake them again, as fast as I possibly could.
Other things like translation and code also took a bit longer than I had thought.
So here we are, late into April. I'm sorry for always being late to my promise, but I have to make sure the quality is up to my standard.

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy it when it's available to you.

Sincerely, KawaiiSukebe

The gallery will be reworked in the next update, that's why I removed it for now as I'm not satisfied with it.
I'm also still learning how to implement variables in the game, so for now, the choices in the game will not affect the plot, yet. In next version I will put in the real choice systems, and there will be scenes that will activate depending upon the choices you made.
The visuals and some other little things will also be remade in the future as I have gotten better at making scenes and renders. The images in the current game looks so bad(I know), but I will remake them~
That's more or less everything about this update for now. Like I said, I'm getting better and better at it, so things will be improved as time goes on.
Sincerely, KawaiiSukebe
