V0.2.2b public post from Patreon:
Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a happy and safe new years. 2020 tested us all, so we can only hope that we can at least regain some sanity in 2021.
If you are in the public discord you would have already gotten the heads up that I am skipping straight to the b version for this as it was only a single new event and went back and did a lot of typo and grammar fixes. Unless something drastic needs to be fix i.e. a bug that decided to show up finally then this will be the only public post this month as I wanted to take my time with V0.2.3a coming out for patrons on the 15th of this month.
on to the patch notes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The computer has been brought back for chapter 2
Patrons voted on who they wanted to get a special event for and the winner was Luna! So check out the bathroom in chapter 2 to access that.
photo sets:
Re-rendered Sol's first photo set
first photo sets for both Lina and Sarah, just talk to them after the beach has been unlocked and you will see an option to ask them if they want to do a photo shoot. After these side events are completed, you will be able to access the pictures taken from your computer.
Lina 1 main event as well as the third part of her multistage event is ready, talk to Luna again as she will have an idea for you. This is the last one before the conclusion. Stay tuned for V0.2.3a for the conclusion.
Sol 1 main event
Luna 1 main event that is unlocked after Sol's and will unlock a repeatable version afterwards as it has 4 ways total it can end.
Quick jump map is now in place. Yes I know that the beach shows up before it is unlocked, however you are unable to click on it until then. This is because I am still deciding how I want to structure that aspect for coding the map moving forward, testing out two methods to see which will result in less of a headache as I will be including an accurate depiction of who is where on the map at that moment of the day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moving forward!
After V0.2.3a is released I will be doing something that I have hated the thought of until now. To acknowledge the two biggest complaints about the game (Change in game look between chapter 1 and chapter 2. As well as an immense dislike for Sarah's void room before she puts up walls to block the light.) Not only will I be reworking the idea behind Sarah's void so that it isn't harsh to look at, I will be going back and recreating all of chapter 1 into HS2 so there is no longer any interruption of art style. By doing this, I will also be rewriting many scenes so that things make more sense and some things might actually have to be completely redone as there is no way to directly mimic a couple actions in the updated game engine. I HOPE this only lasts a single update cycle as simply recreating is far easier than creating something entirely new. It will be somewhere around 2,000 images recreated in a single month so this will be quite the test of how much I can get done now that I've lost my job. Regardless though I will do all main events first as to keep the game at least playable just in case something happens and I am unable to get every side action entirely done.
~Cheers! and I look forward to what 2021 will bring us.
