Hooked! Ch06 Shark Beta Release

Hello everyone! The long awaited release of the beach episode is finally here. The initial version of it, at least. I have a pretty sizeable to-do-list, and I'm not entirely sure if I'll end up checking off all the boxes. But I do have some more stuff I want to put into this chapter, which I'll be iterating over during the (usually) two week shark-tier-release. I will make a detailed points list of changes over time, as I usually do.

As usual, this will replace the "start-of-month progress report."

Once I do a dolphin-tier-release, I'll do a post about why this one took so long to develop, just so everyone's aware, and I'll detail my plans to not take as long with the next chapters.

The additions I'm planning to make range all the way from re-rendering a few things, to adding more popup-window-graphics, to adding entirely new animations. We'll just see what I have time for.

Here's the newest update:

Have any questions?

Feel free to let me know if you have any issues with getting the game, find any bugs, etc etc. Best place to post about that is on the discord, but you can also send me a DM here. If you have issues with itch saying you don't have a pledge, make sure you actually have an active pledge. If you cancel your patreon subscription before trying to access the game, itch can't see your membership (because it technically doesn't exist).

If itch says the session doesn’t match, try doing the whole process through an incognito window: New incognito window -> Log in to patreon -> Click link -> Connect Itch with Patreon. Make sure to donut all in one window. If even that doesn't work, send me a DM and we'll find a solution
