Thanks to everyone who has played Missing Stars so far!Read full article on Community Announcements (somnova.ms)Patch NotesOfficial
Version 2.0.2 is live!
Hello, and Happy December! We have a few new updates. Bugfixes: Fixed an issue where Natalya assumed you've already helped her even if you didn't make that choice earlier in the game. Changes: Updated some backgrounds and CGs with better shading. Added new CGs to the gallery. Some CGs were created as layered images, and thus weren't "flat" CGs like the ones at the time of release. We made new versions so you all could see what they look like! Thanks to all who have played Missing Stars, and an even bigger thank you to those that have left a review! We're now rated as "Positive" on Steam, which is fantastic news. We hope to keep you updated with more news about Act Two and beyond! Stay tuned!Read full article on Community Announcements (somnova.ms)Patch NotesOfficial
Version 2.0.1 is live!
Hello everyone! Thanks to all who've played Missing Stars so far. We've uncovered a few bugs and have just deployed a new patch to fix them. Bugfixes: Jeanne's finger snapping no longer crashes the game if she's not on-screen. An issue where one could enter a Groundhog Day loop by making certain choices has been resolved. It is now possible to get all 12 achievements in-game. Various typos have been identified and removed. Known Issues (to be included in patch 2.0.2): An issue where Natalya assumes you've helped her, even if you didn't help her in an earlier scene. Some backgrounds and CGs are getting updates. Finally, as a bit of clarification, we have left the Gallery features unlocked as an added bonus for players who were patient enough to wait for our Steam release. Act Two and beyond will have locked music, BGs, and CGs to prevent spoilers! Thanks for reading!Read full article on Community Announcements (somnova.ms)
