Newness:

• The chocolatier is here and she sells some new stuff.
• You can now finish three of the artists' quests (the winners of the art contests' created characters) and get their paintings.
• A fourth street-artist's smiling face can be found around Paris. She will sell you her art for a price.
• The Louvre now has a purpose and an inhabitant. Go have a chat with her and hand her the paintings you acquire from your adventures in Paris.
• The butcher shop can now be found somewhere in Paris.
• The bells of Notre Dame now houses a secret and a quest.
• The crypt in the Pantheon has now been filled. 
• The hotel has had most of its flavor items and text put in place and should now be ready to receive its very own update in 0.8!

0.7.1:

• After feedback I have made small alterations to the Belle sequence, trying to make it a little more clear what to do and where to go. Also ensuring the player will need to go to a certain place before entering the north tower. Hope this may help the confusion.

Fixes:

• How pumps and timers work with Elea has been completely redone. There is no longer a timer, but an activating script instead. This should help the problems with the timers not turning off when they ought to.

Plans for next update:

• It will finally be time to get the Hotell all squared away. This is going to be a bit more of a challenging coding and writing challenge with a lot of moving parts. 
• The finale will be written and added to the game. May not be reachable in 0.8, but will be mostly in place.
• Still missing at least five pieces of art and their artists. These will be added as soon as I have a few more entries from you guys!

My First Game Jam starts in only a few days, and I have entered the jam! I don't yet know what this one will bring, but I will try out something new for this one. That may be me making some 8-bit music tracks, making a side-scrolling platform game, or maybe as simple as every art asset being fully of my own design. It depends on the theme for the jam!

I have also entered the 3 day long Solo Dev Jam. Trying to make something playable and entertaining in only three days sounds like a fun challenge to me! More about that at a later date.

Oh, and one last thing (because I don't have enough to do). Me and my wife have brainstormed a game boy game! As with all of my games this one will also be linked to the Earnwiles in some ways, but will function as a standalone, Zelda inspired, action adventure game for the original Game Boy. So far I have a few sprites ready, and I am teaching myself how to draw pixelated backgrounds. Check this link for more!

I hope those of you paying for the privilege of playing my games, and those of you supporting me through patreon are happy with the speed at which I am working. I am doing my very best to make my games worth the purchase, and to keep giving you something new to play!
