New Experimental Game Build: 1.1.11 Pre-Alpha

Heyo and salutations, everyone ^w^

Sorry for taking so long to update the game. I wanted to release a few new prototypical features as well as a new, feature-complete chapter, and it took me a while to get it right.

After several months of development, Version 1.1.11 Pre-Alpha of Echoes: A Lucid9 Fangame is now live and Chapter 13: Aftermath of a Cruel Hand, is now ready to play, with its A and B subchapters each both being the length of a normal chapter on their own. Unfortunately, because of this, and due to narrative implausibility, I decided to take the content that would have comprised Chapter 13-C and relocate it to a placement later in the game, where it would make more sense to be. 

In addition to Chapter 13 and the features mentioned in progress updates 19 and 20 (linked below), I've reworked the chapter selection menu at the beginning of the game. If you want to jump to a certain chapter to save time and effort while starting a new playthrough, which I highly recommend doing after every update, you can select it after choosing a difficulty, and a list of preset variable configurations will be applied to the game to approximate the state of having just loaded an existing save.

The Contacts subscreen, accessible from the Operations screen, (which can be opened using the image button on the left side of the standard textbox), is now no longer empty. Once you complete the bulk of Chapter 13A or 13B, you will be able to have a short conversation with Yama in the form of a text message simulation. Though this is incomplete at the moment, I figured it would be a decent gimmick to keep things fresh, or at the very least, less stale.

Once again, I apologize for the content drought. As always, I've included some screenshots of this new content below. 

Thanks again for supporting EL9FG ^^
