Hello everyone! Today I bring you the eight build of HZE, wich contains Chapter 2: part 2!

You can read this build one month earlier if you support our project on patreon!

We've also added two more tiers to support our patreon! go check them out :D!

So, I think I'm gonna do this a tradition, to talk about the current situation every Patreon release hehehe, so here it is!

So, first of all, and as you know, i'd like to have everything as transparent as can be: regarding the team of HZE, we've had people help us and work in the vn with us through certain parts of the vn, but due to life being life they've already added their piece of soul to our project and are no longer working with us, and for that, I'm really really gratefull that they got to share this experience with us, so I'd like to thank all the former people that have worked with us, we wouldn't be here without them!

As for now, the team that's currently and constantly working on the visual novel is Rick, Max, Ace, Blu, Wolfie, Garro and me! (We also just currently had someone join the team, but I will introduce him later hehehehe)

To be completely honest, since this is a really big and ambitious project, it has been proving quite difficult/stressful to handle, since it's a LOT of work that we need to do, and as you know, most of the team has full time jobs so we can only work so much on it. Wich is why we're still looking for people who'd like to volunteer for the hzeteam! We mostly need people to "animate" the sprites, like put the already given faces, mouths, eyebrows etc onto the characters and their positions,it truly is something really really easy to do, but it's a lot of work load for us aaaaaaaa so if you'd like to join be sure to lemme know through twitter, telegram or discord!

For this update, we've added the new EARS attributes for Chad, Fred and Jenny! you can see these characters ears react to what they're saying through this update! this also means that we have to backtrack through all the vn and start adding these ears to all the previous chapters wich are already done, so theres a loooooooooot of more work to do y___y and even then, im planning on adding the ears to all the characters, add them more arms, expresions, clothes, head poses, and body poses, so its even waaaaaaaay mooooooooooooooooore backtracking to do Dx

to finish this, i'd like to specially thank Rick the bull, his help and hard work for the vn has been proving absolutely great! he's been working hard af on this project and he really helped us a lot, so thank you thank you thank you a looooot! <3 (even though ,just yesterday he coldly fucken' shoot me on murderer 4 on vrchat <_<)

And also to JadenPup, the creator of Heart of Amethyst, wich you can read here: https://jadenblack.itch.io/heart-of-amethyst Jaden helped us in our time of need, where I was about to turn crazy about finishing the last programming touches of this update and started to destroy my hands, he came to save us all, thank you jadeeeeeeeeeeeeeennn <3 <3 <3
