Good evening everyone! It's so good to be updating you all with some quality of life features. Tonight's update brings:

• A dramatically smaller file size for the game! All images have been converted from png to webp, and all audio files have been converted from ogg to opus.  This dropped the Windows and Linux version of the game from 488MB to 246MB, and the Mac version from 473MB to 231MB! The final art and music for the game will not be converted from the same file types to ensure that there is no loss of quality, but given that I am currently using placeholders for the audio and art, I was okay with a minute loss of quality for cutting the demo's size in half!
• Thanks to the hard efforts of programmer and game dev Lezalith, Discord Rich Presence is fully operational! The github document I used can be found here.  A screenshot of how it appears has also been attached to this post, too (with the game's name, current chapter, and playtime for your current session)!
• My game studio has undergone a name change! As the solo developer for Catalyst: Blind Faith, and for any future projects, I will be using the name "Just Write Studios."
• A few tiny grammar and writing changes have been made, thanks to stellar feedback from new players!
• The outline/flowchart for the full game's common route has been completed. A resized version of the flowchart is attached to this devlog, so that it would fit in itch.io's file size limit. The full size version can be found here on my Patreon for freeee! Given that I have planned one more choice menu than what is depicted since the image's creation, every player will get to choose between 122 choice menus during this common route, over the course of 15 chapters, before reaching a series of 10 hard branches. These hard branches will not reconnect, and the player will get to choose between them to decide how the rest of the story goes!

I am so excited to bring this content to you all. While working on getting the commissions up and running for the demo's final art and music, I will be keeping you all updated on the script writing I am doing for the full game of Catalyst: Blind Faith. In addition to visuals like the flowchart attached to this post, you can check out updates on my Patreon or the Catalyst Discord for news on upcoming characters, mechanics, and a whole lot more.

Thank you guys so much for your support! I hope you all enjoy!
