Four-Letter Word 0.1.1 Update

Build 0.1.1 is finally here! Man, that feels good to say.

Despite having said that updates are going to be smaller in size, this one is kind of gargantuan. To give you an idea of how much bigger this is than past build updates, in terms of lines of code, this is a 20% increase over 0.1.0. It's all Asher content and this update alone now accounts for a full third of it. You won't be able to see all of it in one go, as much of it is conditional on various triggers with some being mutually exclusive variations, but hopefully you'll enjoy what's there!

Since this build's requirements were so asset-heavy, I'm also trying out using placeholders and notices for where some asset work is missing or not yet implemented for the sake of pushing the story ahead a little more. Let me know if you guys think it's a good idea or if you want me to go back to only releasing content that has all the asset work included.

All in all, the reason I wanted to push really hard for this build is because the original plan for 0.1.1 back before I went on hiatus was to reach the point where this build ends with an important moment with Emil that I've been wanting to hit ever since I first created him all the way back in early 2015. It's been a long time coming and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it! It does require some conditions to be met, though it shouldn't be too tough to figure out.

I'm also kind of exhausted after crunching pretty hard to get this out, so I'm just concentrating on getting these builds available ASAP and I'll take care of the other patron rewards within the next day or so. Thank you for your understanding!

Oh, and one last thing: It's been a long time since I've done Ren'Py development and Android builds are a slightly more complicated process than PC/Mac/Linux builds, so please let me know if you encounter any issues with it so I can try to fix them ASAP. Thanks!
