While getting the VN's UI sorted for mod porting, I took some liberties such as not making the patreon button as large as the sun and other tweaks such as UI text color changes since the base VN (like Season 1) feels like a crayon box puked over the screen. I've replaced many of the UI oddball colors to either a softer grey or off white... just the same as I did in Season 1.
Some previews at current state:
Now I have to take some time to review the import code since there was such a debacle during Season 1's export code (during the v0.7a/v0.7b VN patching processes). I worked back in the day with my own analysis, info received from
DoverUK25, and reported issues to
TessSadist so that the team (with her new coder) could resolve. Oddly enough in this new Season's introduction she thanks everyone on the planet except those that actually assisted in resolving the massive fuckup that was originally Season 1's export process, but that's fine, I'm not looking for recognition tbh... just thought it to be a tad inconsiderate. You can find those post in the VN's thread but they are summed up mostly on
this particular post (for reference if desired).
Please don't read too much into this post. I know it likely reads as me being a bit irritated which I guess I am but not regarding this subject... IRL vendor/contractor issues after the multiple historic weather events we've had here in TX are causing much grief... and tens of thousands of now wasted dollars due to their incompetence. I just can't be at 6 different large land plot locations at the same time to oversee work that shouldn't require it. I digress, and apologize if I'm a bit grumpy lately... I'll get it all sorted soon enough.
Which leads me to saying thanks for your patience as we all take this opportunity to use this VN's "Testing" build to prep for v0.8 Final. I'll do my best to post any issues or other concerns as I peruse this new VN code which will take a bit before fully porting the mod over as Tess is obviously not working alone anymore, this newer Python code is not in her wheelhouse and has a completely different fingerprint/style than anything she's ever attempted in the past... there's someone else also at the keyboard for sure.
