As promised, this weekend is being capped off with a massive update to Catalyst: Blind Faith's demo, with ALL writing and programming/mechanics FINISHED!!!! If you have been waiting to play the game, now is the time to download it!!!

The full list of added features:

• Added a color-changing name for the protagonist, which can be one of 25 different color hues depending on your current highest relationship with the Gods. Thank you SO much to the priceless help of the Ren’Py community and the Catalyst Discord for helping me make this possible!
• Tweaked the relationship values throughout the game. It is STRONGLY recommended that you “Start Anew” on the main menu so that these changes take appropriate effect.
• New major feature in the “Gods” page of the Journal menu! A popup will appear if you hover over any deity’s name, which will contain dynamic information about that God or Goddess based on your current relationship with Them.
• The Gallery’s UI has been made more homogeneous with the Options and History menu. Instructions were also added to the bottom of the screen for clarity!
• Changed the spacing on the History menu, added line breaks for the end of each scene, and ensured that the color-changing name for our MC displays correctly.
• A preview of the text speed has been added to the Options menu! You can find a tutorial on how to add this feature to your Ren’Py games here, thanks to the hard work of Ren’Py community leader Lezalith and the help of several other amazing devs (more info is in that link)!
• Minor tweaks made throughout the script for clarity.
• Revised several lines in the opening scene of the game, and added several more, thanks to some excellent constructive feedback received from a new player!
• Updated the Special Thanks section of the Credits menu (found under Options).

With this update, the only things left to add to the game's demo are the final art and music, which will be commissioned from professional artists and a composer as swiftly as I am able. At the moment, this is all a solo dev labor of love. If you would like to help speed along the game's art and music, or would like to show your support in any other way, come check out my Patreon, Ko-Fi, or our Discord!

It is thanks to all of your invaluable contributions that this project has gotten off the ground, and I want to thank you all so much again for everything! In the coming months I will be keeping our Discord up to date as I write the full script for Catalyst: Blind Faith, work on accessibility options, and get the art and music rolling. I will also be posting updates on our Twitter, where I'll be sharing info on streamers and other community members who will be promoting the demo, too! Let me know here in the comments or in any of our social media if you're having fun or have any feedback you want to share. I look forward to updating you all again soon!
