Hello hello, friends!

The day is finally here.  I suspect a lot of you have been waiting to spend some quality time with the friendly tiger, and now, you finally can! The build is about as long as the Mnesis route update, offering a good chunk of the story, with some new Sentinels lore, new art assets, music, and some general improvements to the visual novel. 

We thought it would be appropriate at this time to recruit some extra help with editing sprites for new expressions and minor details, so that Swaggy could dedicate his full attention to CGs and new character sprites. As such, please welcome Gabi and Sha to our team! They've both done some work for this build already, and you might notice new expressions for Greg and the Baron, for instance. We look forward to working them again, so expect a lot more expressions for existing characters in future updates.

We have some new music from Hop-Skip & The Chewtoys in the build, and even more that hasn't been used yet. I'm incredibly excited for the scenes that will utilize those tracks, and you can listen to a couple of them on the YouTube channel already.

Finally, a note on development: it's going well! The Baron-in-Black build will arrive for patrons in July,  and I'm quite confident readers will be interested to check out the rat's content. As you will be able to tell after playing the current update, each route has very unique content, and I wouldn't advise missing Baron's, even if the rat hasn't (yet) endeared himself to you. 

Back to this update - as far as I know, saves should be working fine for all platforms. Hopefully nothing is broken. 

Changelog for Build 0.5:

• New story chapter (approximately 13k words) for the Superfang route;
• Two new character sprites;
• New expressions for existing sprites;
• Three new original music tracks by Hop-Skip & The Chewtoys ("Earn_the_Amazing_the_Spectacular",  "The_Alley_Cats_Night_Out", "The_Dental_Plan_Here_Sucks");
• Added more sound effects - more to come in future builds;
• A new credits screen at the end of each build (if you want to check out everyone's socials, be sure to click on their icon or text; just be aware of potential nsfw content :D );
•  Minor typo & error fixes.

As always, please make sure to report any typos or bugs, preferably on our Discord server.

P.S. To access the route, make sure you have chosen Superfang as your mentor when prompted. That's it, nothing else required.

See you next time for the Baron-in-Black update!
