A new update has been released to Rivalhearts!

Changes include:

• Created a new opening scene to Episode 1
• Added a new section to Erika's check-up in Episode 1
• Added a new guessing game to Amber's introduction in Episode 1
• Introduced blooper voice lines to Rivaldarts (only in the new opening scene for now)
• Moved the old Episode 1 opening scene to a later section in the episode
• Changed Katherine's profile picture on the Episode 1 phone to one of herself
• Changed Rivaldarts names to now be able to change per-dialogue if multiple names available
• Changed game archive files to now include source (RPY) script files
• Tweaked some of Noah's dialogue at the start of Episode 1 to better fit the new opening scene
• Tweaked some of Noah and Erika's dialogue together in Episode 1
  

As episode 2 comes closer to completion, we wanted to upgrade episode 1 based on feedback and hindsight! Episode 1 is the first experience a player has of Rivalhearts, so it's important for it to be as good as it can be; and we think we're nearing that mark now.
