This release requires a new Graphics pack update. It can be installed automatically using our installer, or installed manually here

Hello, everyone! After a lot of delays and honestly a ton of work, the original backgrounds by Ryukishi are here! There are a few compromises, though, and we would love to hear your opinions on that.

The compromises about this feature:

• Due to engine limitations, we cannot offer a 4:3 aspect ratio just like the original. The backgrounds had to be cropped a bit to fit into 16:9
• Also due to a few scripting limitations, you will get console CGs while playing the game with full original graphics. These won't happen a lot, so you should be seeing the original graphics at least 95% of the time

The good news is that now you can have all the features and fixes we did over the years with the original graphics set. That should make the game a lot more pleasant to play compared to the (very) old voices-only patches.

As always, we're listening to your feedback, and we hope to see what you think about this release. We know the compromises to get the original graphics back in the game won't be enough for the purists, so please let us know what you think about it after you give it a try. As always, we welcome fixes that we can't do ourselves, otherwise we wouldn't be on GitHub of all places!

Other than that, this patch also brings a number of fixes and changes to make the game better overall. It took a long time to check each change, so excuse us for the long delay in deploying them.

Not sure what comes next other than more inevitable fixes, but we'll talk again sometime soon.
