Writing to Disk... changes new to beta build:

• significantly revised multiple poem "routes," reworking verses I didn't like from the original 
• added new passages in between some branches to fill in certain routes
• added new ending 
• changed font of passages & links to better match theme + made links magenta + centered text on page

Design choice changes:

• no longer attempting to maintain a certain meter or length of each stanza throughout game: embracing free verse
• removed or altered most of the clickable poem lines that did not rhyme or broke rhythmic flow with the verse above to make reading it smoother & more fun 
• let myself run wild with imagery and style & created a looser interpretation of my original core narrative idea

Stuff left to do for exhibition build:

• completely rework "that feeling was real" route - no longer like how linear and coherent the story feels there especially now that it doesn't quite tonally & stylistically match the rest of the game
• play w text styling & transition animations in editor bar
• fix passages that link back to parts of poem that don't make sense after revisions
• add another stanza to each lost dream passage to make those endings feel as filled out as the sun endings
• figure out how to disable twine back button in play mode to make the game feel more like a poem you read from start to finish/make players commit to one route at a time
• make graphics for itch page
• stretch goals: photoshop some backgrounds for each page, make simple music track for whole game
