Nice to see these improvements. just little things that help later on and show you're learning from the dev process.
Game changes
- Re-made 440 images (from 0.01 to 0.05).
- Re-made 3 videos (The ones when Abigail shows off her new haircut).
- Some dialog was re-written/ellipsis removed (Just minor changes to clean it up).
- Extra dialog between Frank and Rebecca during 0.13 scene (Added some story that I forgot to add when writing the scene).
- New Jess story added at the end of 0.13.
1. Not really sure if it's all that worthwhile if nothing looks like it changed from the previous to the remake. I wish I had a previous version to compare, but nothing felt improved image wise.
2. Of all the videos to remake, this was probably the biggest waste of time. Honestly the story isn't improved by this scene at all. 4 images could replace the space used for this and nothing of value would be lost. From a technical standpoint it's not terrible, but it's not great either. She's pretty stiff in the twirl part. the camera pan was good, but it was always decent.
3. Nice to do cleanup, you seemed to replace elipsis denoting thoughts with quotations which is for speaking out loud in writing. no quotations generally are narrative, thoughts in italics. Everything is now kinda backwards. Good on the dev to try and at least clean things up.
4. This is good. Thanks for adding this little extra. It helps.
5. Nothing major but it does at least help understand the MCs feelings about Jess better.
Like always please take all discussion of the game to Discord.
So there's this perfectly great website where people go to discuss your game along with others....And the players do not need to clog their discord with 100s of different channels to keep track of. I know it may sound entitled but do think from the players perspective of how many games come out in a month and that they could be playing, and all of those having a discord as well, plus regular groups and games they may be attached too......it's a lot when there is one site with a thread just for your game that does the same thing. You have an amazing resource at your fingertips, don't throw that away in favor of a discord.
I can see why the update needed to be made, but honestly development in this way really is hurt by the need to keep patrons happy with content output. The dev I think was right in bundling this all at once if it were a regular type of development, but as it is more of a serial content creation, each update needs to produce new content. So the technical update could have gone with a new content update, then image improvements added to subsequent content updates, etc. and no one would complain about content. (writing yes, content I don't think so.)
for anyone who doesn't want to play the update here is my full save using all green choices in the mod:
