Technical Stuff About the Release

Expectations

This is an Alpha of the VN so it is a bit raw in some aspects. Menus and GUI are sort of in place and there is no music because of the budget. They weren't the point of this release. I simply want to see how the story is received and make changes to it while it is still early if needed. Feedback, good or bad, is greatly appreciated.

Engine

Ren'py. I'm using the newest version: Ren'py 8 which, I believe, is still not compatible with Linux and the plugin to make Web versions. The Web version I'm not concerned with but it should be stated that Linux might not be supported for a little bit. I'm keeping an eye on it but best to stick to Windows or Mac for a bit.

Also, it should be noted, I have no plans for an Android version of the game in the near future. Too much else to worry about right now with actually getting GUI in there before experimenting to make sure it is compatible with an Android version.

Controls

LMB - Advance story

Middle Mouse Wheel - Rollback Text

RMB - Open Game Menu

I left the default game menu in place so it has the "Help" menu. In that menu is all the default hotkeys that Ren'py uses. If you play a lot of Ren'py games you'll be happy to know that those hotkeys will work for about 95% of them.

Bug/Spelling Error Reporting

Same as last time, send it to my email: uncleartiefillmore@gmail.com or leave it in a comment on the release post.

I'll set up a channel in the discord server as well for people that use that.

For spelling, I ask that you avoid anything that falls into the category of "UK English and US English have different spelling rules". I use a lot of UK spelling rules, as you probably noticed in My Catgirl Maid or anything I've written ever, and will ignore people about words like "centre" and "colour". I just want to get those easy to miss extra letters or missing letters typos like "the would" instead of "they would".

Here's a handy little site to explain more on English spelling rules or you can just google the individual word if you are unsure: https://www.oxfordinternationalenglish.com/differences-in-british-and-american-spelling/
