What's coming in v0.4?

It seems like there are no more bugs in v0.3, so it's time to move on to the next release.

There were a bunch of main features that I never added due to Hana's Exposure not having enough content to really benefit from them. The main features in question are a save system and a day cycle system.

Hana's Exposure is currently 30~ minutes long and I'm expecting to add another 20~ minutes of gameplay to v0.4. with a 50~ minute clear time, it finally makes sense to add a save system.

On the other hand there's the day cycle system which will slow down the pace a bit, instead of being able to clear every area in a day you'll only be able to cover 3 areas (1 in the morning, 1 at noon and 1 in the afternoon), go rest, and continue the next day. There will be changes in the lightning, NPCs and other stuff in each stage of the day, so look forward to that.

Another thing is the town rework, the current town is a bit of a placeholder, so in v0.4 I'll be adding some life to it with NPCs, decoration, etc to make walking across the town a more pleasant experience.

Expect another new POI (this one is personally my favorite POI, I can't wait to share more about it!), 2 or 3 outfits, a new level, and of course a bunch of events.

There's more things coming in v0.4 than the ones mentioned, but I'll be talking about them in another time.

Thanks for supporting the development of Hana's Exposure!
