Good Morning to all and happy Sunday!

*THE BRAND NEW DEVOTION TRACKER WILL REQUIRE A RESTARTED SAVE FILE TO PROPERLY FUNCTION*

We are here with the next update to the world of Intertwined. Here we take a step into Chapter 3 - Understanding. Our heroes have only just begun to uncover the secrets of what lies within Alterium. The corruption, the secrecy of the government and so much more is beginning to come to light and we have only just began. Some minor modifications have been made to the writing of the earlier chapters to sync our MC more in line with what he should be.  We have also did some heavy coding changes to the Star-Chart which will allow you to track your devotion and see which ones you have obtained and which you did not. The Star-Chart has also been moved to the prologue for ease of obtaining points in the first chapter as that was rough for many of you to find them.

As always, thank you so much for reading Intertwined. I am hoping the next updates going forward wont take as long. Work and life have really been a fun time for me, but things are looking up!

As a side note, Intertwined is now on Blue sky! Follow us here for new updates: Intertwined: A Furry Visual Novel (@intertwinedvn.bsky.social) - Bluesky

As always, patch notes below!

If you guys run into any bugs myself or my Patrons have missed, please let me know so I can make edits as soon as possible!
