v0.13 progress update

v0.13 has two different goals. One is to progress your relationship with Kayla, and the other is to change how you navigate home and expand it a bit.

Indeed, the apartment is getting two new locations: a hallway and the living room, the former serving as a hub of sorts.

So, no more teleports to move around the place. This should make it a bit more realistic, and add another quite versatile location (the living room) for events.

However, this change makes necessary some technical adaptations and testing. Nothing major but still some time to spend.

Oh, and the TV in the living room also got some attention, because I wanted to make it functional, similar to Kayla's computer. You'll see.

Regarding the content proper, I'm focusing on Kayla exclusively. You will see some progression events of her. I don't know how many because I want to focus on more frequent smaller updates, but she will get her chance to get out of the friend zone in v0.13.

Thank you!

Comments

I'm very interested to help on this project for free. I can handle both art and programming, please let me know if you're interested. I can create NPC, Background arts with same art style and quality, animations or any scripts for you. I'm an indie developer working on everything myself just like you. But I totally understand if you prefer enjoy the whole pizza alone, developing such a game on your own is a very pleasant experience.

While DXT5 compresses faster while importing, the quality loss is quite noticeable for the hand-drawn graphics we use. A known issue of that format. At any rate, this doesn't affect the build performance. The actual reason the game takes a lot of time to load is that everything is put in one scene and the NPCs pool is pre-warmed before you start or load a game (will try to change this). Thanks for the input, though. ;-)

I suggest set texture compress quality to Normal instead of High, Set to high will build textures with BC7, not friendly for modding, also slwo to load (I noticed the game loads too slow than other similar game).
