Bonsoir

Update 4 is finally here; continuing Misha's route and officially adding Connections as an unlockable short story (if you've played the standalone version, there's no real need to play it here!)

Disclaimer/Warning/Reminder: The Red Ballet portrays heavy and uncomfortable subject matters. Be extra mindful that one such subject matter is sexual violence - in many forms. Content warnings can be found on the game's main page.

New Stuff

The game's cover art, as you may have noticed, has been changed. And so has the main menu! If you've previously unlocked a short story and are now confused about how to access that menu:  try clicking the giant TV :')

Our receptionist skunk, Bree, now has a sprite.

Sid has been forced into a new silly costume.

But at least he also gets a very snazzy looking one to make up for it.

Many characters have gotten a few more expressions.

Idk what to count as a CG: but I do know I've been drawing a ton for this one.

Some new music.

Storywise, the sub-routes in Misha's main route will become apparent. If you're loading a save from that 'the story will continue...' you are, in fact, already in a sub-route! Fair warning: you've got yet another very important choice to make for Sid which will lead to completely different sections and future consequences. Sooo, make saves often I guess? 
I won't name the sub-routes in this devlog (unless asked), but they may be referenced explicitly in future ones if there's a need to focus solely on one for an update depending on the length of content exclusive to it. Also, a character being the focus of a sub-route does not denote that they are a romance option. 

Ending the devlog

Well. That's it for now. Update 4 is around the same length as the other ones, but does diverge greatly depending on choices.  Perhaps even more so than the previous Emilio update!

TL:DR

Update 4 is finally out; New Sid fits; New main menu art; Look out for sub-routes; Everyone gets hotter as my art improves
