The Star Legation OST update!
Imagine my horror when a purchaser of The Star Legation OST notified me today that, though he was able to download the zip file from Steam, the music files were not in the file! I immediately tried to figure out what went wrong...
Though I had properly uploaded the zip file to the site, AND Steam had reviewed and approved it (even after telling me I had a redundancy in the file, which I corrected and re-uploaded...waiting 3 more days for another approval), it seems that the file did not get seated properly in the correct depot. I have fixed this issue and the purchaser was able to download it again and found all the files inside the zip file as he should have.
I'm so sorry that this has happened and I apologize to those of you that purchased the OST and wondered what happened to the music. It's ready and waiting for you to download again!
I hope you enjoy my music, and thanks for your support (and patience!) Best, Andy
Patch 2/27/2022
Fixed an issue with the tutorial Adjusted the music volume lower during the final voice-acting endings
Patch 2/16/22
For non-native English speakers and others that would prefer it, text has been added for all of the ending epilogue scenes, and can be read by using the Backlog function (scroll up on mouse or type B). Voice acting will continue uninterrupted during this time. You can quickly flip back to the ending CG by clicking the right mouse button, or clicking the "Back" button on the Backlog screen. Once the voice acting dialogue has completed, click "End Game" to proceed.
Other small corrections have been made as well, including reducing the volume of the music slightly during the ending voice acting.
Patch 2/14/22
Fixed error involving 15 save slots not all displaying.
Patch 2/10/22: More Save Files!
By popular request, there are now 15 save slots available in the game instead of the original 5. Enjoy!
