System/Content Update: Alpha Version 0.8.3

Hello everyone,

Patch 0.8.3 is now available! In this update, I focused on combining key scenes, adding new gameplay features, reworking scripts for improved performance, and fixing bugs. Below are the detailed changes:

Scene Combination:

• Consolidated apartment-related Unity Scenes into the Apartment Scene and outside-related Scenes into the Outside Scene.

• Created ApartmentScenarioManager and OutsideScenarioManager scripts to manage these scenarios.

• With the consolidation of these scenes, changes of region throughout the game do not load scenes unnecessarily, eliminating stuttering when changing areas.

Script Reworks:

• Showcase Manager:

  • Replaced the old Showcase script with the new ShowcaseManager script.

  • Implemented instant hover effects directly in the script.

• Questionnaire and System Menu:

  • Removed Unity animations to improve performance.

  • Rewrote scripts to implement instant hover effects.

  • Reorganized GameObjects for better hierarchy management.

• UIManager:

  • Created a new UIManager script.

  • Integrated energy management functionality:

    • Defined activities that affect energy through a public enum.

    • Linked activities to energy changes and updated the energy display with delay functionality.

• Items Management:

  • Created an ItemsMainManager script to handle item management across the game.

  • Reworked the ClosetManager to manage items in Alex’s closet.

  • Modified LoaderManager to manage loading screens and scene transitions more efficiently.

• Dialog System:

  • Modified the DialogueManager script to hide the interface using the new UIManager .

Soundtracks and Effects:

• Updated the Apartment soundtrack to ambient sound.

• Added ambient sound in Karina's Office.

• Added ambient sound to the Laptop.

• Added new soundtracks and sound effects to the following scenes:

  • Gym clothes are now available in Alex’s closet, allowing for better customization.

• New Dialog:

  • Added a new line from Alex when attempting to remove the Chastity Cage.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where gym clothes were appearing one on top of the other.

Optimizations:

• UI Optimizations:

  • Decreased the time for the Main Menu entrance animation.

  • Replaced the Gaussian effect on the showcase viewer with a screen dimmer.
