Dev Log 55

Hey guys, how are you all doing?

It's dev log time again, and I've had an intense couple of weeks of development, working on three separate projects at once...

0.12.1

I mentioned last time that I was working on a minor update to version 0.12 with some technical improvements/fixes. Well, it's now finished and released. I've updated all of the links on the 0.12 post if you want to download it, although there isn't any new content, so there's probably not much point if you've already got 0.12. Here's the changelog; I've bolded the one I think will be most interesting to some of you!

• Fixed an issue where animations would sometimes flash up a bright screen at the start of loading each video

• Fixed an issue where the top left UI would always display "day 1 | dawn" in replays - it now says "REPLAY"

• Changed the dawn screen to show the month/date instead of the old day number

• Moved Annabelle into the main section of the character bios and added tabs for her in the galleries

• Minor grammatical improvements to a few hundred lines from 0.9 content onwards

• Fixed a bug where the gallery images for Lucy and Vicky from 0.1 appeared after the more recent images.

The next update - 0.13!

Over the last couple of weeks I've completely written the update, and it comes to exactly 30k words. So, about in keeping with the last two. That means I will stick with the original plan and release it as a two day update.

This one has a lot of fun scenes, and almost all of the girls get at least one smaller but significant moment in their stories. Having said that, the definite winners are Akatsuki, Sarah, Alison, and Catherine. Though I would give honourable mentions to Vicky and Hannah, too. So, something for everyone this time!

New PC and new graphics.

So, the third thing I've been working on, and by far the most frustrating - I mentioned last time that I've been setting up a new rendering PC. Well, it is now set up and fully functional. I'm currently using it to write this dev log!

The new graphics, however, are another story... Getting all of the necessary mods to work together is a nightmare! It also requires me to do some serious work upgrading each and every character model, which at this point is a hell of a lot of models!

At the moment I'm still ploughing ahead with all of this, however if it transpires that it's going to take more time than I can reasonably take away from rendering the update, I may shelve it and just stick with my old software setup for now.

Whichever way it goes, I fully expect to be on the rendering grind for most of the next few months, so the dev logs will probably get a little less interesting - though I should have some nice previews to show you!

And I think that's about all I have to say for this one. As always, thank you all for your support - I really do appreciate it!
