Dawn Chorus v0.35 - Rune & Bjørn (Patreon)

=== EPILEPSY WARNING! ==

Rune's part of the update features some flashing lights. If you're sensitive to those and/or have epilepsy, we recommend turning these off - there's an option for that in the preferences now.
I forgot to mention it in the post, I'm terribly sorry for that.

Hi folks,

Finally! After long wait, the new update is finally ready. It features the rest of Day 3 for both Rune and Bjørn and inside you can also find:
- 5 new illustrations in total, by Deffie, Alexson and Prince-o-Sky,
- A new track by Patricia Taxxon
- Some new photos and music by Keo (that's me!)
- Rework of the illustration from the end of Rune's Day 1 by Haku 

If you've already played Rune's part of the preview version of the update, I recommend starting from the beginning of the update anyway, as I've added several scenes and expanded others.

I had no idea the development for this update would take this long. There were some sections that were especially hard to write and needed some extra attention and testing and instead of the end of the last month, it's out only now, in the second half of January. The month-long development cycle is, frankly speaking, rather tight and each release is tiring and I wanted to focus on writing. The next time something like this happens, I'll try to have some build out for everyone sooner. For the same reasons, I plan to release Bjørn's part of the update publicly on itch.io earlier, at the end of this month.

Now, some info! Haku is working hard on a rework of all of the sprites plus some other assets. This update, however, features the sprites you know well; the reworks will have to wait until a revised build early the next month, while we work on the remaining sprites and some changes to the ones already drawn. There's also one render and another illustration (two, actually, but one isn't yet commissioned) we're waiting for for this update that should be included in the newer build. For now I wouldn't want to postpone the release any further.

And I think that's all! With Branny in the team and Haku doing fantastic work with the reworks, I'm very excited about the future. The next update will be written by Branny for either Lake or Lake and Jørgen, and after that I'll come back with you with Day 4 content!
