Greetings!
It is time for the next update!
There was a minor issue with some save file troubles, but that should be resolved. You may get a message telling you that your save file is slightly borked, but you can play as usual - just follow the on-screen instructions.
Should you get thrown back into the main menu (very unlikely) or otherwise be unable to load your save file, you can still access the new content by loading a slightly older save and skip through to the new content.
As far as I can tell, this is an isolated issue that shouldn't persist into future versions.
There is a "small" issue where the text is outside of the viewable area. Attached to this post is a fix for that. Just toss the "screens.rpy" file into your /game folder to fix the issue.
Links are below as usual, feedback goes into the comments or onto the Discord. Have fun!
Update-only (v0.41.x → v0.42.1): To use it, extract the contents of the update-only .zip file into your Crimson High folder and overwrite when prompted. If it doesn't ask to overwrite, you've funked up. If that is the case, please remain calm and ask your neighbors for help. Or me. That works, too.
------------------------------------------------------------
Changelog:
- 14,500 words
- 283 renders
- 2 new Space Hamsters
- Fixed borked save files (hopefully)
- Added more text customization options (in-game phone menu) to the Android version
- Added a new textbox with an opacity slider (in-game phone menu) to the Android version
- Improved accessibility by adding alternate text to most UI buttons so they can be read out loud by the self-voicing feature
- (Also added TTS substitutions for some words/names, so the self-voicing feature won't butcher them anymore, then found out that that feature is only available in later RenPy versions, so this is on hold for an update or two, until I've successfully updated CH's RenPy version)
- Time flows linearly once more
- Text is no longer outside of the game window
------------------------------------------------------------
(If one of the links doesn't have all the versions yet, or isn't available at all, try another one or wait a few minutes. They might still be uploading!)
------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy the update, folks! Thanks for being awesome and supporting me and CH!
Cheers!
