HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND WELCOME TO THE LATEST BUILD OF VIOLET MEMOIR

I hope you've all had a wonderful spooky season and maybe this build will make your day even better. Some of you might be wondering why this build came out so late in the month but that's due to what got added in the latest patreon build. We'll talk about that when we get to it. Right now, let me tell you what's in this update.

This update focuses on Leigh's next Monday and is truly the shift into the next part of the story. Now things will truly start moving, so I hope you enjoy the ride. There is, however, one small problem with this update. It is technically incomplete. Due to how much I wanted to get this build out when it was a Patreon build and how big it was already, I decided to end it off on a cliffhanger. I think it was effective in the moment but I wasn't entirely satisfied with it. So the Patreon build that just got uploaded as the new build is also another Leigh build finishing up this day. Don't worry though, it's not going to make this update any less impactful. I think the placement of where I left off is a perfect break point for the build, even if I wasn't happy with it.

As I just mentioned before, the new Patreon build is also the Leigh build but it isn't as large as the latest batch of updates I've been doing, so I decided to focus on other things that I felt were needed that I haven't gotten around to as of yet like fixing a lot of issues reported to me that I hadn't gotten to yet. But also, I finally managed to add some new sprites for a bunch of side characters, eight to be exact. Our wonderful CG artist Korichi offered to draw some placeholder sprites in his own free time, so that's why this build took so late in the month to come out (though maybe coming out on Halloween was secretly a blessing?) I'd been delaying releasing this build as late as I could to allow Korichi to make as many as he could and I think it truly paid off.

However, due to this being added to the Patreon update, I will admit that they aren't in this public update just yet. There are also still a bunch of mistakes in this build that will hopefully disappear when that update comes out as well! Regardless, I hope you enjoy what I've given you here~.

I should also announce that I officially have a Bluesky! From this point on, I will be putting announcements and updates there as well for anyone who doesn't use Twitter anymore. You can follow it here: https://bsky.app/profile/violetmemoir.bsky.social
