Summertime and Ramen no Oujisama WIP and Dev Updates!

Hey folks!

BeerBrew here once more! We've got a couple of updates to talk about ;)  

First, Summertime!

Here's your "chubby" cousin you knew waaaay back. Minako, your girlfriend, gives you a dirty look. As you can see from the pic, this is what the art style will be like. I've asked our artist to prep the artwork for animation for me, so once we get her a bit moving, we can move onto one of the special scenes to see if we can get this done!

Now let's move onto Ramen no Oujisama. I've spent a good couple of days trying to get that new animation runtime to work nicely, unfortunately, I'm gonna put that on hold as other people on it seem to be busy at the moment. A number of bugs and unimplemented features make it unusable right now. In the mean time, there will be a couple of nice additions to the game in v0.5.0:

1.) Spanish Translation: We're working with the fan translation team Project Gamer Japones to bring about translations to the game in Spanish! The upcoming build will at least contain the Spanish translations for the intro and prologue sections. The map section and the individual areas in the map, along with the character routes will follow suit. So if you're learning Spanish, or you're an experienced user in the language already and want to play the game with this, now's the time! The next language update ought to include the map locations, and Sango's route.

How do you use the language feature? While playing a route, show the quick menu and you should see the left most button displayed as "Original: En". Just click on this button. This will cycle through the available languages in real time. And if the text is longer than the dialog text box, just wait for it as the text will automatically shift up and down for you.

I'm hoping that this tool becomes useful not just for reaching out to new players, but also to learn a new language!

Once again, a shout out to PGJ!

2.) Omake Scenarios: This menu item and secret code to unlock this section in the title screen will be available! So fantasy stuff, stuff that's not possible in the main game if we take the story into account, the weird, the strange - they'll all go here! Most of these extras will be for you patrons, but from time to time, we'll throw out one in the free version. ;)

EDIT: I'll make this post public later so our public facing post section isn't so locked up. But you guys get first dibs on what's happening!
