Added 2020-05-03 01:32:09 +0000 UTC
April's update! Posted a couple days ago :>
==Notable Features==
- Squirrel Sex scene is animated and in-game! (Still need some dialogue to finish it off)
- Squirrel mini game has assets!
- Plant Mini-Game fully implemented! With UI and sounds! It’s a lot different than our lil’ stand in one last month. Give it a shot! (And say hi to the mouse for me!)
- “The Notebook” finally implemented – this unlocks the Gossip ability normally. Also tutorial visuals for the Gossip Interaction UI
- Various system fixes and bug updates! (You can now transition scenes and directional movement persists! There was also a potential softlock bug regarding autosaving.)
- Hacked together some quick CHEATS! Just small platforms that unlocks various things like: Dodgeroll, Skipping the Tutorial, Unlock all sex scenes, and Delete Saved Data!
- Penny now remains after dropping you off. You can also cancel a flight to just chat and explore the gossip options!
- Debux of particle effects! (In the plant minigame)
- Switched the “examine” interaction with the new UI! You’ll see a shiny new yellow button.
- Gossip portraits (rough draft)
==Notable Bugfixes==
- Start menu - could navigate the start menu before it had fully appeared
- Start menu - holding X at launch to clear savegame caused game to softlock
- Red would sometimes stop walking when transitioning between scenes until the movement key was released/pressed
- If the savegame file was ever locked by an outside process, Autosave would blink forever and the game would softlock
- Narrator and Standard dialogue text background would flicker briefly when starting a new conversation that used the opposite background
- Could navigate the interaction ui with left/right bumpers while the interaction menu was invisible
-
Next month will be a buncha cleaning/optimizing. Sound effects and more particle effects! Aspect Ratio/More Controller support, and general fixings. We're preparing for Act 1's official release to the public :> Still not quite there, but getting SO DANG CLOSE now!
