v0.15 Public Update - The party goes on, ManyFans gets a big overhaul, and more
Happy new year y'all,
And to celebrate, fifth update is coming right up !
Note : as per usual, as a bunch of new content and features are added, old save files are
not compatible, better start fresh !
Remember that the tutorial bits can be skipped, and you also can set the message speed in the settings if you want to speed past the beginning of the story.
Until I come up with a better way for returning players to jump right from the new content, I'll stick to providing save files with everything unlocked loading up right before the new content. Remember that you can change your name and gender from the Contacts app.
Thus, there are
two save files included that put you right at the end of 0.14, with
everything unlocked. There is
one for each dress you may have chosen for Clem at the beginning of day 2 (this is the choice that visually impacts the content of this update). However,
I do recommend starting from the beginning for immersion purposes and because the early content (namely the first Jade stream) can now be experienced with the new features.
What's new ?
New content, new features. No new characters as we are focusing on
Clem, with a bit of Jade content thrown for good measure. Jade will follow up on her previous
professional offer, and have you get down to business ! But some unexpected events will allow you to
peer through the hidden veil of closed doors and present you with a final, important
decision.
Improving ManyFans
Lots of stuff to talk about here ! You'll notice a
few visual changes on the interface, though you shouldn't be too confused. Internally, a
lot has been reworked to accomodate new features and be overall more robust.
You can know
screenshot a livestream, allowing you to preserve that sweet content that would have been lost to the passage of time, and enjoy those pictures in your
gallery where you'll be able to use your editing tools, as you're now accustomed to.
More importantly, you will be able to
see things from the other side as you will now manage an account and get access to all manners of new stuff, and gain
control of the broadcasts.
I tried to improve
immersion, so the livestream
chat should now feel more alive and realistic. As with most immersion-related concerns, it will now be about filling the app with
filler content (in that case, random users and comments)
I won't spoil too much, I encourage you to play it out and see what you can do !
On the technical side
The usual
bugfixes, though this time around I was a bit more focused on overall
improvements to the code base. Reworking ManyFans had me chasing away legacy issues and inconsistencies in the code, which I will keep trying to clean and maintain. It's getting
pretty big now, way bigger than the small demonstration project it started as so it will be increasingly important to have a
clean codebase with
well implemented design patterns.
What's next ?
New content is still the goal but I will confer with my patrons to decide where I shift my focus more specifically.
Next step is wrapping up the 2nd day and the party arc, then we'll see where we go from here.
Please keep the
feedback coming, it's what allows the game to improve !
As always, this project is my only focus for now and thus, I'm fully reliant on your support to keep going.
