Version 0.1.6 beta - development news (updated 30/04/2019)
Hi guys and gals, this post offers you a collection of news about the next full version of Holiday Island (0.1.6 beta) and the smaller updates towards it.
There will be smaller, more frequent content updates, called content addons. They will include bug fixes and new content as well.
The change log below is based on the beta 0.1.5.0 release.
0.1.5.2 beta will need 0.1.5 base files and it will include everything from 0.1.5.1 beta with all content addons and bug fixes.
The next release is 0.1.6.0 beta which will be another full update!
It includes some bug fixes and a lot of new content!
Sorry, but there is no other way, since the new animation control from the tech demo requires the latest version of Ren'Py (at least 7.2.2).
The update from 0.1.5.0 to 0.1.6 has 454 new renders, videos and sound files right now!
