Defending Lydia Collier v.0.17.1 BETA - Week 1
There isn't really any "new" content, this is basically the game recoded and edited significantly to get all the new features to work, so please only play this if you're interested in testing, wait for Week 2 if you want the new scenes (which I'll now start making).
This is standalone so it doesn't conflict with old code, so just download it and run it, and I've made it available to everybody as its for testing rather than new content, Week 2 will have new content so will go out in Early Access order.
The GUI is not finalised, so ignore the lack of main menu buttons etc before you load into the game, it's just a waste of time to code that in for this BETA that will be changing a lot throughout this month.
New Features:
Discord Integration, now shows your friends what you're playing!
I'm aware some people have Discords for AVNs, but some people don't.
I've made it very easy to turn this off if you don't want to show anybody you're playing an AVN, just go into preferences and uncheck "Discord Rich Presence" and it will no longer display, if you want to make sure you don't even display it on startup, just close Discord, open DLC, turn it off, the game remembers this setting, then re-open Discord.
In-Game Walkthrough, now you can easily follow the prompts to get the character you want!
This also includes a stat tracking page and a guide page to show you want initial paths to follow for later game splits.
Tons of dialogue fixes and edits, lots of inconsistencies and thousands of full stops added.
Completely new phone and computer system from v.0.17, should now be bug free and easy to navigate and use, along with new features betting!
There's also loads of new evidence, new articles and a bunch of other stuff to get through, including a redesigned White Company website for Fleur and a new achievement to unlock!
Changes from Computer BETA:
Huge thanks for all the feedback, here are some edits and fixes from feedback.
Quick exit buttons added for the phone and computer so you don't need confirmation boxes to speed up game play.
Arrows added to evidence galleries so you can quickly flick through evidence without having to close and open them individually.
Fixed the Our Moments images not tracking with game saves and loads.
Fixed the player name not displaying properly.
Fixed the evidence screen not closing with the computer.
Fully added in the second news website, The London Herald, that was missing.
Fixed the initial intro video not playing its full duration.
Please let me know any feedback and thoughts by Discord or directly, and this will be updated as I now make the new content and complete Week 2.
Strangely because the game is very choice heavy early on, and then branches off on to much more linear branches based on those choices, it's actually more time consuming for the first ten or so days code than it is the later ones, despite the later days having more content.
Some upcoming changes:
Not doing anything with audio for v.0.17.1, again had problems with subscription terms of service and don't want to deal with it and all the time finding a new provider takes when this update needs releasing, this will be finished in the future.
There's also an Advent Calendar being posted each day on X and Discord as always, and all the new images will be here at the end of the month, along with some bonus ones for this month's renders!
