Hello everyone!

It's the beginning of April, so that means the March build is now available to all on itch.io!

We've got the next build of SL ready for you today! February was a tough month for Dev and I getting everything ready. Valentines is the busiest time of the year for my day job, and Dev has been studying non-stop to take an exam that'll open a ton of doors for him. Regardless, I managed to get enough writing content to match the length of previous builds, and Dev managed to fix niggling issues he's had with several of the current sprites. I think you'll like the changes he's made, hehe...

Last thing to note, the main section of this build took a lot more writing than I expected it would. As a consequence, everything is pretty narrow in focus. You'll be spending most of the update with Russell, who makes his triumphant return after being gone for about 4 updates. Don't worry, though, since I managed to nearly finish the sequence off, which means next month's build will be focused entirely on husbando interaction!

Build 6 Notes:
+ Another chunk of writing (30 minutes seems to be the average time these take)
+ Sprite updates for Karina, Nate, and Chris
+ 2 new songs (courtesy of Hop-Skip & The Chewtoys)
+ Various under the hood changes to improve the experience going forward  (starting a new game actually fades to black now, for example)

BIG NOTE: This build is primarily a story update! The husbandos will make their grand reappearance in next month's build!
