What's up next for (0.8.3)?

------------------------

In other news, I got a little curious the other day and wanted to do a side-by-side comparison against...another...game in the space.

• This version of Blue Swallow has 188,600 more words.

• That's comparing our 0.8.2 against the other's 1.20.1.

• That's 26.7% more content.

• 1.5 years against SEVEN+ years.

• No reboots here. If things need to be changed/updated/improved, we do it during our dev cycles alongside additional content with every release.

• That's not counting sheer number of options, choices mattering, stats and skills being affected.

• And lots, lots more sex.
