Devlog #68 - Pre-Release .36

I know we're only about a week out from .35d's release but we got a lot done. We're nearly done with .36 which I'm super excited about. More content in every way. My goal was to release this weekend but a couple animations rendered overnight didn't pan out. Those are being redone now and should be ready later tonight. A build for BETA testers is being prepared. If it's pretty good we could potential see release late tonight, most likely tomorrow for $25 tier supporters. After that it will be public to everyone within a day or so.

Something About Mary Part 4 (.36)

More content for all routes. It covered the week following .35 and the key events occurring. It skims through many normal routine scenes since it's the first of the jump updates. The next update (.37) will cover week 2 through 3 months after .35. Again only major events are covered with choices.

I did have to move some scenes due to pacing to .37 but they were replaced by new scenes that weren't planned. Overall the same amount of content, just redistributed to make more sense pacing wise. These will be reflected in Liberty Memorial Academy episodes.

Speaking of Liberty Memorial Academy

For a more detailed gameplay experience, Apocalypse: Liberty Memorial Academy episode 1 is also nearing completion. It covers the days in more detail and will cover events in more detail that .36 and .37 skim past.

Not specific date for Apocalypse: LMA1 to release but it's not far off behind. You have more detailed content with Emily, Emma, Mary, April, Evelyn, and the crew. Some Lancy, Brenna, and more Aubrey storyline in detail.

I don't want to say too much but your favorite characters get more justice. That's the best way to put it.

Gallery Issues

Being rebuilt for .36 due to the issues experienced when loading replays. You can load and play the replay but some functionality is failing and pathing choices not working. This is another reason for the delay. Shouldn't be more than a day though depending on rendering and coding.

Gameplay Polish and Corrections

As in any update, that's a major component. These will be present throughout .36 and relate back to previous versions fixing dialog issues, minor bugs, etc.

FYI: Version .35e is Being Built

This version contains no additional content. It is just a bug fix/programming fix of .35d being prepared as a free version. It will release after .36 which will have all the fixes in .35e. No need for both. .36 should be your next download.

As always, thank you for your support. Without your support this game would not be possible. The next release after .36 will be LMA Episode 1 and after that .37. Thank you!
