Howdy, v0.3 will be made public next week (Nov 15th) with the release of v0.3.1 for Patrons so I figured I should let you folks know what to expect:
Changelog:

• Added Chapter 1 Part 1
  • The first part of this chapter spans two days, and comes out to 49 new images across different branches. It is inexplicably as long as the entire prologue, and with more images.
  • There's an option to start the next chapter in the morning, before opening the shop.
  • New Characters
    • Luna
    • Roland
    • Mia
    • Korin
    • Brother Douglass
• Shop Adjustments
  • Tyra and Ashura's expeditions now give 4 exp per run, up from 2.
  • Crafting with Nicole now gives 3 exp per item, up from 2.
  • Buying items from Nicole now gives 2 exp per item, up from 1.
• Fixed so many typos.
  • So so so many typos.

I'm actually increasing exp gain to 10 for expeditions and seascapes (Ashura and Tyra) in v0.3.1 because even after doubling from 2 to 4, having to spend 12-13 days before hitting exp cap is kind of ridiculous. There's no faction content in 3.0 so at the moment it doesn't matter.
