The download has been updated to reflect the Ace revision of the demo for Release Something Weekend! Version 0.19* is a pretty heavy remake of the game with changes such as:

- A revised battle system in which the Chain bars and Purge skills are more important
- The difficulty can be changed at any time now
- Taller character sprites on the map and in battle
- Custom character artwork
- Some skippable cutscenes
- Pixel art enemies (some by me, others are edits of Milano Cat's)
- Rewritten dialogue
- Talkbubbles for NPCs who have something to say
- New graphics for the Affection menu
- Field Effect system removed entirely (it didn't contribute much)

There's also a readme that's intended to help out those who find this game outside of RM sites.

The demo ends in the same place as the last one because I wanted to clear up the discrepancy between the engine tag and the download right now, and I still wanted it to end on a cliffhanger, and probably get cheevos for effort. But anyway, hope you have fun! :)

Let me know if you find bugs/missing file errors/have issues with the balancing or whatever.
Now that that's over and done with, I think I can finally move on! hooray

There are a couple of minor non game-breaking issues. They're in the readme, but I'll paste them here anyway:

KNOWN ISSUES
- Skipping a cutscene while the map is still scrolling or when a character moves may cause random graphical errors such as misplaced overlays.
- An overlay flashes at the end of the demo when selecting to return to the title screen. It will be gone once more content is added to the game and it transitions to the right place.
- Battles may lag momentarily when using a multi-hit skill for the first time in a battle. It should lag less if that same skill is used more than once in the same battle (the graphics are cached).
