After years of Patreon early access only, Crimson High's newest update is now also available through Itch.io during the early access phase! The price is equivalent to the lowest Tier 2 on Patreon and will decrease to the lowest Tier 1 equivalent in a week, then gets completely removed yet another week later, at the time of the public release.

You can of course still head over to my Patreon to get the new update on there, as well.

Tier 2 includes: Mythical Being, Messenger, Sentinel, Mango Priestess, (Dreamer), Warden, as well as the old T2 tiers and the very old Student tiers (First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Class Rep)

In 7 days from now (20/07/2025), the update will go live for Tier 1 patrons: Seeker, Fledgling, as well as the old T1 tiers

Public release is in 14 days from now (27/07/2025)!

Update-only patch (v0.42.x → v0.43.0) is available as well. To install it, extract the contents of the CrimsonHigh-0.XX.X-update_only.zip file into your Crimson High folder and overwrite when prompted.

The save file issue from the last time still persists. It looks like it can't be solved in a good way without making everyone lose their save files. So, I guess that's what we'll have to do. Instead of making all of y'all wait longer for the update, though, I decided to release it as is, to tide you lot over.

There's an OPTIONAL hotfix attached to the post which lets you play the update as usual. You may not need it, though. I'd recommend trying the game and your save files without it first, then install it after, if you can't load your save file.

The full restart will happen either with next week's T1 release or with the next update at the very latest. Sorry for the inconvenience. As best as I can tell, there was nothing I could've done to prevent this (to my understanding, it's a bug in the program I'm using to make CH), but it's still annoying. I hope you understand.

Changelog:
- 19,100 words
- 259 renders
- 0 new Space Hamsters (yeah, that's right, no hamsters this time; they may get added with the T1 version, but that's not certain yet)
