Hi everyone! Blaboole here, one of the devs of Prehistoric Relations. Super excited for what I have to share for you!

Production Update: Chapter 2!

After a month of hard work, Chapter 2 is ready to be released! We launched a Patreon to help make our work on this game sustainable as we keep our hard work up into the future, but we also want to make this accessible to everyone. For our supporters on Patreon, you can access the latest chapter via the link in the Patreon post right now. For everyone else eagerly awaiting the fresh new content, you'll have to wait until mid-November.

We're going to stick to this monthly release schedule to the best of our ability. Every month we plan on being able to get a new chapter out to you, with Patreon supporters getting the next chapter a month early, fresh out of the oven!

Logistic stuff aside, I'm super proud I can be a part of making this. In my personal opinion, I think Chapter 2 brings everything I liked about the first chapter, and cranks it up a notch! I'm excited for you all to play it and to see what you think about it too.

Changelog (v1.0.1 -> v1.1.1)

• Added all the content for chapter 2! More characters, more dialogue, more music, everything!!
  • To be exact, there's now more than twice as many dialogue blocks as there was with just chapter 1, there's two new characters, with two new background images and 18 (!) more character sprites! But who's counting?
• Changed the quick menu GUI to use nicer-looking image buttons instead of just text
  • Buttons are bigger on Android for easier tapping.
• Replaced the default font for dialogue text with a more readable version (thanks for the suggestion!)
• Added a font menu inside of preferences to easily change to a more simplified/basic font or OpenDyslexic, a font that helps people with dyslexia.
• Removed some royalty-free music that was never actually used. Don't worry, there's more new, original music tracks for you to listen to in this chapter!
  • This means the download size has shrunken, even though there's more content in the game!
• Added text in the Help section highlighting the accessibility menu that's accessible with Shift + A. It has additional options to make the text easier to read.
• Fixed Android bug where text box wouldn't line up and would move a little, now it will stay in place like it should!
• Built with ren'py 7.4.9 (was 7.4.7) -- Better accessibility features, performance, and access to some cool transitions used in the chapter!

Here's a look at the new quick menu GUI buttons and the new font for dialogue. 

That covers mostly everything! Some of these changes were made because you all brought them up in comments. Thanks for helping us make our game the best game it can be, and keep leaving comments for us! Better yet, join our discord server and talk to us directly!

Thank you!

P.S.: Did you know itch.io has a desktop app that will automatically update your copy of the game every time we push out a new build, and even make the update downloads way smaller so you spend less time waiting for the download to complete? Well they do! I'd recommend getting it so your copy's ready to play as soon as we post every new update :)
