Goodbye Eternity

0.14.0

- v0.14.0

- Here we are. After several long months of waiting, version 0.14 of Goodbye Eternity is finally ready.

- I won’t pretend this update went exactly as planned. It took much longer than expected, and honestly, I was probably too ambitious with it. But now that it’s done, I can say one thing for sure: this is the biggest content update we’ve released since the launch of the game.

- This update doesn’t just add new scenes. A large part of the beginning of the game has been rebuilt from the ground up.

- The intro has been rewritten, new events have been added, some missing links in the story have been filled, and several character relationships have been adjusted so everything feels more natural and coherent going forward.

- And yes, after all this time, Goodbye Eternity finally has a proper intro scene instead of starting with a black screen. I’ve wanted to fix that for a very long time, so I’m really happy it’s finally there.

- The biggest part of this update is, of course, the rework of Asami’s Love route.

- My goal was simple: make it feel warmer, more sincere, and give Asami the story she deserved from the beginning. Her route is now much longer, more complete, and I think it does a much better job of showing who she really is.

- There are new interactions, new scenes, new CGs, new skins, and a lot more moments focused on her relationship with Saito. If you liked Asami before, I really hope this version makes you like her even more.

- Because the beginning of the game has changed so much, old saves may cause issues. For the best experience, I strongly recommend starting a new game. I know that’s not always ideal, but with this update, it really is the cleanest way to experience everything properly.

0.13.6a

- v0.13.6a

- 0.13.6.a patch note

- This is a minor bugfix update. No new story is added.

- ## Modified

- Story hint is no longer displayed on the city map, because it would prevent from accessing the pins underneath

- ## Bugfix

- Noriko's maledom route would get stuck if Yasuka's friendship path was chosen Some sprites in backgrounds would still display when they should not

- At the end of Sakuya's path, Asami would confront the player about sleeping with Yasuka even in the friendship route

- Wrong sprites were displayed during one event in Yasuka's friendship route

- Netoru's badge would be flipped sometimes

0.13.6

- v0.13.6

- ## Added

- Yasuka friendship path

- Saito chooses to focus on his father's debt, leaving romancing options for Yasuka off the table

- Includes one good path, and one bad ending

- 2 sprites in backgrounds

- 1 new costume for Yasuka

- 1 new skin for Yasuka (only available with the bad ending)

- New saves export/import feature

- You can now export and import all saves files, player preferences, and unlocked content

- Does not work on the web version, or very old Android (9 and below)

- Will offer to save or import a .zip file containing all of the data

- Does not require extra permissions on Android, as it uses the Storage Access Framework

- ## Modified

- Engine updated to Godot 4.6.1

- Hopefully this will solve a long-standing issue with PowerVR-equipped phones, where the game would crash at the second start of the application, due to crappy PowerVR drivers crashing on loading the shaders cache

- Game goes back to using the english version upon starting a brand new version

- This is made so that people will think of checking translations, to make sure they get an up-to-date one

- ## Bugfix

- Game would not behave correctly after downloading a translation

- Background sprites would not follow the correct logic sometimes. There must still be issues, so please tell us if you notice them

- Sprites logic has been rewritten, no more weird behavior when changing sprites attributes

- Game would display wrong glyphs for Chinese/Japanese languages, making a mix of the two fonts

0.13.5

- v0.13.5

- Why version 13.5 instead of 13.2? Quite simply because this is not a small update. The amount of content is far more significant than it may seem at first glance.

- This update is not limited to the addition of a bad ending for Sakuya. It also includes several months of optimization work so that the game finally runs the way it should. Slowdowns are gone, and performance gains are massive (we’re talking about more than +1000%). The difference will be immediately noticeable in-game.

- Another important point is a small overhaul of the UI and the route selection system. I recently played Dispatch, and I was genuinely inspired by their interface work: minimalist, clean, and efficient. The presentation is now much more visual, making it easier to clearly distinguish one route from another and improving overall readability.

- The descriptions for Asami may surprise some of you. They reflect the direction I intend to take for the upcoming rework of her routes, so consider this a small preview of what’s to come.

- Finally, the cherry on top: freeroam. I know this aspect has frustrated some players, and I understand why. Having freeroam when there is only a single main narrative thread doesn’t offer much value on its own. However, this is part of a long-term vision: the future addition of side quests tied to specific characters, which will require stepping outside the main storyline to unlock exclusive scenes.

- With this in mind, a new option has been added: from the hint window, you can now jump directly to the next event with a single click.

- This feature is entirely optional, you’re free to use it or continue exploring the world at your own pace.

- As for Sakuya’s bad ending, it occurs very early in her route. You will have two opportunities to refuse to obey her and assert that you alone decide your own destiny. If you continue down that path... I’ll let you discover the outcome for yourself.

- To make up for the loss of save files, a new Chapter Start feature has been added, which allows the player to start at the beginning of each major chapter of the game.
