I finished my playthrough and everything seems to be in working order. I made 3 save files as well in preparation for the carry-over to the sequel. You can read up on each of those on the Fragile Hearts 2 main page (under save files).

As well, I posted the secrets portion for this new version on the main page. Check it outtttttt!

Unless there are future problems with the newest version, consider this my final blog for FH1. I'm getting teary eyed. Not really, I'm drinking a celebratory beer. Cheers!

I just wanted to list the areas you can explore openly in episode 8 in the newest version of the game.
-Orin (after the attack)
-City of Witches (after it has been burned to the ground
-Prostitown (the real one, also allows you to enter buildings that were previously not open in episode 3)
-Pet shop (with new pets)
-City of Cameltoe (NEW CITY!)

The newest city is the biggest addition, as it is tied in with the final mission and will feature a host of new NPCs, weapons and armour, and buildings to explore. Also, I'm implementing some extra little quests to do while you explore the overworld. This should help you gain some extra experience before the final mission if you need to, and it should make the last episode feel more complete.

A screen of the new town will be posted later today!

Just a small update today. On top of all my other crazy business, I'm still working on this game's latest update as well. It kind of goes hand-in-hand with the sequel, so I'm constantly being reminded to update certain parts of it.

I have fixed up a bunch of little things suggested by comment makers on the main page, and I've implemented all the new systems that carry over into the sequel. All that remains left is to add in the new areas for episode 8, which I still have yet to decide how to go about doing so. It will mostly be revisiting areas from past episodes, but I do want to add a couple new things here and there if possible.

Anyways, that's that. It's all slowly coming together, and the changes will definitely make transitioning from this game to the sequel much smoother for players in the end.

I can't believe it but this game is still getting subscribers 3 months after its release! 36 isn't a half bad number (better than any of my other games). So here is what's next for this project:

V.1.3
- I kinda botched a couple messages in the new version with typos, as seen in Nicob's let's try vids. I'll have to fix those. A couple other bugs were made apparent in those videos that I will be tending to before anything new is added.
- I finally have the special bonuses for battles working perfectly in the sequel, so I'll be transferring those to this game for Fergus, Haddy, and Midard soon. It'll give an extra little oomph where it is much needed.
- Since the second game will be more open world, I'll be expanding this game just a tiny bit with a couple new areas. This may not occur until the next version though.

V.1.4
- This (I believe) will be the version included with the sequel, so the transition and choices will hopefully be a bit more seemless than older version will allow, and it will include 2 savefiles with the 3 different routes chosen.

V.1.5
- Will be included in FH3, and will be (I hope) the final release.

I also want to make a trilogy collection on the new 2kxx engine that will have higher resolution graphics, voice acting, and additional battle elements. But that is a couple years away, so I haven't really started thinking too much on that yet.

Anyways, thanks to those who are still following!

Can't believe I missed this one for a whole month!

Obviously, I'm pretty happy about it. Always good to hear more opinions on it, especially when it's mostly positive feedback!
