WOAH! Emerald Wasp has been online for a month now!
It's the perfect time to do a quality of life update. This one is based on the feedback I received and another wave of quality of life tweaks will come after this one, so...

What's in this update
- The location of two medals have been switched, and now the two medals that were unobtainable after a certain event have been moved to the main maps so you won't have to reload savefiles to get them and access the bonus room. The walkthrough has been updated accordingly.
- The volume of Archie's theme was too loud and I lowered it once again. For the same reason, I checked the overlapping geiger counter effects, now it shouldn't be possible: they're localized and they stop when you're not close anymore to the source. Low radiation stops immediatly, higher radiation takes some more steps.
- If you run into the optional hiding scene into the tunnels, Archie will hint you not to run but to hide. Running to the stairs and getting softlocked into the bad ending shouldn't be possible anymore.
- Some lines of text, both in the game itself and in the walkthrough, have been expanded upon or changed. No more ambiguity on what happens to Archie if you accept the Royal Jelly, yellow paint names as spray paint in some places, numbered red marbles in the wrong order, etc.

What's next (currently in progress)
- The constellation puzzle is being completely changed. I wanted to update Ver 1.4 with the chance in act already, but I have to test it thouroughly. I'm not satisfied yet with the solution I'm implementing... so please, be patient, I'm trying different solutions but it will be done.
- The flashlight going off on tunnels is being fixed next. I haven't been able to replicate all the occurrences yet, but the letsplays have been very useful for me to detect some of them and fix them. 
- The dialogue and overall text is being proofread! It'll take time though since it's way longer than it seems...
- This was highly requested, so I moved it up in my list but only after the bug fixings: drawing the CGs for each segment of the endings. There's already art (drawn beautifully) of some of these, but since the style has to be consistent so I'll do them for now. But let me show you this amazing art from Kana!

Known issues
...this is the stuff that I'm not able to fix at the moment, but it's been highly requested so I'll explain why.
- The torch in the room with the pit full of wasps. I'm aware it doesn't follow the player, but I unfortunately can't fix it nor remove it: the reason is that there's one way to fix it, but it'll drop the framerate and it'll risk to freeze the game on some computers. I have a laptop too and the game freezes when I do, so... I inserted a bandaid for now. You can select anytime the torch and it'll light a different area of the map if you need to see it.
- The CGs are ugly comes up once in a while in letsplays. This, unfortunately, can't be helped... for two simple reasons: (one) I can't afford to commission a whole set of CGs while mantaining the game free and (two) no person in their right mind would accept to draw the graphic scenes I included for the bad endings.  But I'm trying to improve my skills so I might redraw them once I get better!
- The Hideout Key on the red bridge. I'm still studing a way to remove the problem without disabling the menu or removing the object in such a crucial point of the game. I know you need to save frequently on that bridge. 

...that's all for now, folks! 
Thank you for reading so far and thank you for playing the game >\\\<
Your support this month since launch has been incredible! But this will take another devlog entirely and it's almost 3 AM here so... I'll update again soon!
