Erm.. .take two. Ahem.

Chapter 6 is officially available!

Chapter 6 changelog:

Full change/update log:

Chapter 6 - Continuation of the story! Chapter 6 contains around ~950 static renders, and over 30 animations.

- added a new minigame. As always if you've opted out previously it will play out a bit differently. The minigame is intentionally extremely easy - I may adjust the difficulty at some point to be a bit harder but I decided to leave it as relative easy-mode for now.

- Fixed a bunch of typos. Probably added a few more.

- 13 new music tracks as well. Chapter 5 had a ton, less so in CH6 since many of the chapter 5 ones still fit very well. Expect some new stuff for chapter 7.

- Re-did entire android build for compression purposes. Android apks have an effective max size of 2gb - redid compression on most images and sound. Chapter 6 android release is about 1.1gb. (For reference Ch5 was 1.7gb). There may be a very slight loss in quality, but hopefully it's not too much. I'd love some feedback on this if anyone plays android versions. 

- Added a couple of shoutouts.... at least 1 more is planned already for CH7. (I bet you know who you are.) 

- Created at least 3 new bugs I haven't discovered in all my playtesting... or maybe not. But Probably. (Spoiler alert: I did, and I've fixed at least 3 already! Hopefully it was only the 3!)

A few major notes:

As of today you may notice Alive carries a price tag. In the past new releases have always done so, while old ones remain free. To combat issues I've had with itch and the payment system, moving forward Alive is becoming a paid project, with a free demo available (Which is up to chapter 5.)

IF you have previously purchased the game, see this post for details: https://cskinproductions.itch.io/alive/devlog/448404/chapter-6-release-info-and-...

Contact me with the requested info and I'll provide you with a download key for chapter 6. This should also carry over to future releases as well, so you won't have to pay twice. Chapter 5 of course will remain as a free demo for download.
