VN Ren'Py Defending Lydia Collier [v0.16] [White Phantom Games]

bobofthebush · Mar 26, 2024

For those wondering about the roadmap ahead

Hello everybody!

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.15.9 will be released on Saturday 23rd of March!

The v.0.15.9 update will include:

Many bug fixes, including all missing scenes and errors within the gallery being resolved.

An entirely new day focused on Jenna, with a branching evening either alone with the MC or involving Lydia.

Multiple new scenes advancing the story throughout Sunday, what are TITAN looking for and who wants to help you?

Several new animations featuring Jenna.

New audio files, specifically some custom made audio for the London Underground which will now feature in the game with the newly renovated Thamesview Station reopening by the Player's home.

This will be followed by Defending Lydia Collier v.0.15.10, which will release on Saturday April the 6th.

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.15.10 will add in the final scenes with Ellie's evening with Lydia in the dungeon, and will conclude Sunday's content in terms of renders.

After this I'll be continuing to work on "v.0.16" which will be the coding and social media stuff, this is taking a lot longer than I'd like and whilst I'd like to say this will also be out in April, it needs significant testing before I can set any definitive date.

What's going to happen on Monday in the upcoming updates over the summer, here's some things that will be coming up in the future on Monday within Defending Lydia Collier, potentially some spoilers below!

A particularly sunny September day will see Lydia attempting to host a pool party at her new home, with you, Fleur and Connie the only confirmed guests so far, your choices so far will allow a variety of other girls to be invited, who wouldn't you mind exploring the dungeon or the massage room with?

Following the new events on Sunday, you'll be meeting a group of people looking to help you out in not just exposing the truth behind the disappearance of Charles Collier, but in resolving it too. Who will you be bringing to back you up?

Lydia's posted some very lucrative roles online to help her run her new home, but she's never conducted an interview before. Can you help her out in finding the best candidate for the first role, her new chef?

Plus much, much more!

Thank you all for your support and your patience over the last couple of months!

almost 2 years for a 10 min update.. this is why branching too much sucks it looks cool on paper tho

Too many branches always give me a headache especially when the game has become insanely long so you need to be constantly reminded that which save is which

This is why I got in the habitat of naming each page file for the girl or branch depending on the game

yet sometimes too many variables (pure or corrupted? pregnant or not? single route or combined with others?) can really confuse you when naming the same especially there're limited words you can put in

In the game, Vanessa asked me to choose 3 people to send to the hotel, but when I entered the computer, I chose 3 people and the game immediately crashed.

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Last time I played was 15.6, and the last scene I had was talking to the pizza girl.

I tried this version now and it's the same scene and nothing more.

Am I borked or can it really be possible that I am on a path which hasn't been updated since?

makavelinow · Mar 27, 2024

Is gallery does not work properly ? Because i cannot see new scenes last 2 update at least.

I don't know if this is something you did on purpose, or just because it was something you missed, but when using this mod the save screen doesn't tell you what save page you're on. You can see what I'm talking about looking at your third sample image. Anyway, if you ever feel like tweaking it to put the page indicator in, that would be cool.

Was bored so I created a menu mod which changes the amount of save slots per page to 60. Should be enough to have all your saves on a single page per route.

Thanks for letting me know. It's a bug in my Mod. The postition for the page number is for 1080p screens, but I've missed there that this game is still 720p and therefore off the screen now. I changed/fixed that.
