So, ever since Starton development began, my strategy was to complete all room backgrounds. Then all walls/doors. Then music. But that's really starting to get draining doing the same thing day in, day out. It'd be a lot more refreshing (and actually feel like I'm making progress) if I did SCRIPTING first and foremost, and completed assets as needed for those scripts. Hopefully this change in approach will make me less bored every day, I've noticed that instead of working 16 hours a day, I'm only working 6 because I'm getting tired out by doing the same thing over and over again with no change. Back in outlands I was always so motivated because every day, I was doing something new, something fresh. So I have a good feeling about going back to this way of devving!
I decided to lump Hub/Core into next release! Reason is, Aerialis is acctually going to be a bit small, releasing it would be like releasing Starton with no town area.

Thank you everyone for following the game!
And now, the other character's facial expressions are done as well! All characters now have walk sprites, dialogue sounds, and facial expressions, which means I can freely write the rest of the next demo dialogue.
Big progress!!

Due to Gamejolt sucking really bad, I can't finish the upload of 5.04. I tried yesterday and today, and it still broken. This update fixes that new chaotic route bug introduced in 5.03.
