There's no new content to play, but I made a big change to how the source files are compiled and it has improved the load times a lot! Yes, I'm still working on Chapter 2, but this issue has been looming for a while so I took some time off from coding to troubleshoot and am so relieved that it's made a difference. Thank you to all the lovely individuals who gave me S-tier advice!

I put out a poll on tumblr and the game still isn't loading for a few of you, but it did resolve the problem for at least one player who couldn't load the game at all, and it loaded in 30 seconds or less for 90% of those who voted in the poll. So if you couldn't get GoB to load in a timely manner, and are still interested in playing the demo, I'd recommend giving it another try. The poll will still be live for about half a day, and feel free to message me directly on tumblr or leave a comment here if you run into problems or have more detailed feedback!

Oh, and you might notice a few changes to the UI. Those changes were supposed to accompany the next chapter, but changing them back just to update an older version makes no sense to me, so you get the slightly altered menu pages early.

To anyone who had to wait 5+ minutes and still stuck around to play the game on launch day (or any time thereafter), I'm so sorry for the inconvenience and sincerely appreciate you. More changes will be made before the next update, so... 

Fingers crossed the load times continue to improve!
