Hello everyone,

We've made a significant breakthrough in optimizing our game page, reducing loading times and bandwidth consumption. This was achieved by converting our heavy PNG screenshots to JPEG, although we would have preferred to use WEBP if itch.io supported it.

If you're wondering how development for 0.5.0 is going, we're happy to report that it's progressing well. The dialogues of the main storyline are almost complete, and we're now focusing on adding new features, which is the most challenging part of the update.

The new dialogues are a major highlight of this update, with more varied and engaging writing. They're more colorful and less boring than the old ones, and we think they'll really bring the game to life and make it more enjoyable for players.

Thanks for reading, and we look forward to sharing more updates and insights into our development process in the future! We're excited to see Vayes become something cool, and we're grateful for your support.
