Hey folks, Did you miss me? A big new update for A Story Beside is available now! Although I'm still working on finishing up the last two chapters for full release, this patch means we're closer to that reality than ever. In addition to fixing some long-standing bugs (collision should [i]finally[/i] be functioning properly for all players) and adding various spots of polish here and there, this update introduces a few brand new features outlined below.

• [b]ACHIEVEMENTS[/b] There will be 16 Steam achievements to unlock in the final game, including 8 that are available in the current chapters. It should be possible, if a little tricky, to nab them all on a single playthrough.
• [b]PLAYER STATS[/b] Remember the screens at the end of each chapter highlighting your choices? You'll now be able to see the percentage of players around the world who made those same decisions. As if there wasn't pressure enough already...
• [b]CHAPTER REPLAY[/b] This much-requested feature allows you to replay any previous chapter at any time.
• [b]VOLUME CONTROLS[/b] You can now independently adjust the volume of the music, ambience, and sound effects from the pause menu. This is a useful tool for streamers or anyone who likes to hone in on particular elements of the game's sound design.

Please continue to report bugs as you find them and look for more updates very soon! It's been a rocky year for so many of us... I truly appreciate you sticking with me until the end.
