Hey everyone!

The next major update to House Chores, Beta 0.5.2 is live now for public release on Windows AND Android devices!

=====

This update is the first major update in over 7 months for House Chores!  For those out of the loop, the original artist was unable to continue working on the project so during that time, I needed to search for a new one who could match the style and keep the project going.  I've been able to do just that!

== Beta 0.5 ==

Beta 0.5 focuses on the conclusion of Linda's 'base' story.  She will still have more interactions & scenes later!  I also did a little bit of a dialogue improvement on Day 1 & 2 to help explain her actions a bit more.  One critique I've read is that the action starts a bit too fast.  I didn't want to drag the action out and I really enjoy the doorbell 'moment', but it does make it a challenge to have the story make sense with the pacing.  I'll be tweaking this and other things over future updates until it feels just right!

== Low Quality Mode & Android ==

I was also able to add a very important feature: Low Quality mode.  There's a problem with some of the scenes on certain hardware which results in a black screen.  If you have this issue, enabling Low Quality mode in the options should help.  The scenes are slightly less smooth but should function.  This new mode has also allowed me to continue with House Chores on Android again!  From personal testing, it seems to function but I will be listening for any possible issues/feedback.

== Beta 0.6 ==

Speaking of Beta 0.6, I'll talk about this more in an upcoming Patreon update but this next update will likely add a lot more functionality to HC.  A new room in the house, some more overworld images for characters, and more minor things that are absolutely necessary for the game to make sense.

I'll stop making a lengthy post even longer haha.  Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you soon with more House Chores!
