It adds a new poetry world where you gain your ability to fly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nathalielawhead.com\/noodles\/bluesuburbiaupdate\/newupdate2.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you visit the &#8220;Chapters&#8221; selection from the main menu, and finish playing the Butterfly poem, you are able to fly in the world. This improves travel but also drastically changes the game.<\/p>\n<p>This is still in early stages, but it&#8217;s worth pointing out that if you re-visit the &#8220;Beginning&#8221; chapter, the actual chapter changes with your ability to fly, and you get a completely different storyline there.<br \/>\nOverall that illustrates how the game is turning out. You can play it in any order, and if you re-visit older areas they will constantly change, depending on your choices.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nathalielawhead.com\/noodles\/bluesuburbiaupdate\/newupdate3.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think this makes it much more novel. It&#8217;s a less linear way of experiencing poetry.<\/p>\n<p>As I move forward with this I will continue to add poems to the opening world, where you can gain abilities. When I&#8217;m done with that I can go back to building out the actual storyline.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m proud of this update because the Butterfly poem turned out so beautifully. I&#8217;m excited to be able to share it in context of BlueSuburbia.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nathalielawhead.com\/noodles\/bluesuburbiaupdate\/newupdate5.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The newer poems that are still being built will be just as spectacular. Each will let you live in their own world, and experience the writing in a way that the environments illustrate it.<\/p>\n<p>I still have to update the Steam and Epic Games builds but I wanted itch to have it first. Itch has always been the best home for my work.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nathalielawhead.com\/noodles\/bluesuburbiaupdate\/newupdate4.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BlueSuburbia world update is now live on itch!<br \/>\nIt adds a new poetry world where you gain your ability to fly.
