Chapter 1-12 version:
Date: 3/22/22
The story is now complete.
- The Final Chapters (12) and the Epilogue have been added to the story. Over 500 new pictures, over 4000 lines of new code. 1.25GB for the entire package. Add-on patch for those that downloaded Chapters 1-11 previously is 252MB.
- Typos and such for previous chapters have for the most part now been corrected, but there is no need to re-read the previous chapters unless you'd like to 'refresh your memory' r.e. the story.

- It is recommended to not using existing saves, due to the introduction of a new nickname variable at the beginning, which is used in most of the chapters. Use the 'chapter skip' feature as this is still a Visual/Kinetic Novel with a linear storyline, not a game.
- Upon starting a new session, you will be asked if you are a new reader. If you've read the previous chapters, choose "No".
- Then you will be asked to choose a name and a nickname. Defaults for these are 'Brian' and 'B' but choose what you like.
- Once you've chosen your name and nickname, you will be asked which chapter you'd like to skip to. This update begins at Chapter 12.

- The 'Patch' version is for people that have previously downloaded the Chapter 1-11 version. if you have that, just download the patch. Instructions for installation are in the patch, short form, open up your ANewBeginningCh1-11v1.0-pc folder, and drage/merge the /game folder from the patch .7zip into your ANewBeginning folder, merging /game with /game. You will be asked to overwrite a few files (chapter.rpy files, script.rpy, screens.rpy, options.rpy), this is normal behavior.

- No Android, Mac or Linux versions YET... hopefully the usual folk can help with this.
