v0.2.3/0.2.4 Finally Released!

Ok so first I'd like to say sorry for being behind schedule. I added something big that I wasn't planning on adding this update, but I did. First I'll list the changelog, then explain a few changes.

v0.2.3 Changelog:

Improvements and changes:

-Animation reworks!:

- day 1, day 8, Sola's date 1 has all been reworked

- Jelly jar sparkles added in freeroam for conspicuity

- Now achievement unlock pop-ups show which image has been unlocked

Contents:

-Day 13 added along with a new scene with Sola

-Secrets Currency system added

-New minigame Spruce Her Up! added on laptop

v0.2.4 Changelog:

Contents:

-Day 14 added (Twice as long as day 13)

Okay so let's now talk about the new currency thing. (Refer to the attachments)

With secrets added, (secrets is the name of the currency) there are some changes that you should know.

Dating Sim- Foreseeable Futures have been added to dating sim. These will allow you to see what attributes and how many points of said attribute points you'll want for the day you choose to unlock. (Get that artistry up to 16 before day 13 pls) Also, playing the simulator will earn you small amounts of secrets, while good ending grants a little more and bad ending granting less. Mind you none of these are necessary to progress through the story.

Achievements - Now you gain secrets for completing achievements. The harder or longer it takes, the more points you'll get. Green locket means 5 points granted, blue 10, purple 15, pink 30. You have to click them lockets to get secrets, just the unlock pop ups will not get you secrets.

Jigsaw - You can play these over and over again to earn secrets. Easy grants 5, medium 9, hard 12, xhard 15 points.

Lastly, Spruce Her Up! a new minigame (sorta) has been added. It's kind of like a dress up game for adults? For this minigame you can unlock clothes and stuff with secrets. For now only Sola is available.

I highly regret making the minigame because it was a complete nightmare getting it to work. It's just not something that should be made on Renpy, or there's probably a better way that I just don't know how to. I'm genuinely scared thinking that I'm gonna have to do more for other girls..zzzz

Since this currency system is new, it is possible that earnings are low compared to spending or vice versa. As I add more stuff that utilizes the currency, this could become a bigger problem. I kindly ask you to wait until I find that golden ratio. I aslo would like to hear feedbacks about it, whether it's balanced or not.

Thanks for reading!
