[General] Progress Update

Greetings,

I was mostly busy with the tech-debts. And one thing lead to another and I reworked quite a lot in the background. However, I guess most are rather interested in content updates.

Current Status (New content for mini update)
- 4 animations
- 10 images 

I'm pretty sure I'll finish early next week but will have another short review with osanaiko as I will add some more dialogue lines as well.

Tech-Stuff

Image-Handling

Without going to deep into the tech, I automated some processes for importing images into Unity which lays the foundation for some features of my language extension. Also I wrote a little pipeline that automatically can create thumbnails for my location images, which leads me to my next topic.

Navigation-Handling

All images have now thumbnails and I got rid of some duplicated images that were necessary before. This means the free roam should be much faster now and the total build size should be a bit reduced. Also I got rid of some overhead in my scripts for the navigation handling. This should be better for maintenance of the code.

Audio-Handling

I split up the voice channels into male and female sounds. This is mostly aimed at the future when I will (want) to add male sounds / voices.
Also I added 2 extra channels for sex sounds (wet and clapping noises) and kissing, so those can be muted separately if you like.

Language-Extension

I'm pretty happy with the extension right now. It has most of the features I really wanted. Custom colorization depending on semantic and syntax and I even have image previews in my code / script editor which I'm really happy about :)

Secret-Gallery

As mentioned last time. I added thumbnails and loading speed for the secret image gallery has improved greatly.

In case someone is wondering if this has some impact on the save-files, the answer is no. At least not something you should notice. Everything should automatically migrate.

Short-keys

I also refactored some bits of my UI-Management and added short-keys to all major menus.


The downside of this many technical changes is the risk of bugs and as I had to manually rewire a lot of images for the navigation it's possible I did some wrong image assignments. I tested a lot, but it's still possible I missed something.

Comments

Thanks for separating the sex sounds from music and other sound effects! I often play within earshot of others, and I still want to hear music and sound effects...

I'll wait the mini update to finish the translation in french then. -)
