Got a full changelog for 0.2_ch1 version for you all ahead of tomorrow's early access start:
Hi everyone!
Tomorrow starts the early access of the latest chapter for our Gold and above members and so I would like to present you today a full changelog for this next version.
0.2 changelog:
- Chapter 1 has been added, consisting of:
- 607 renders (849 total)
- 0 animations (4 total)
- 4 lewd animations (8 total)
- 42645 words (56337 total)
- 5022 lines of dialogue (5973 total)
- 2.7 hours of reading (3.5 hours total)
- 4 new music tracks (15 total)
- 6 new SFX (19 total)
- new translations (Spanish and French, AI translated-feedback welcome)
- gallery rework consisting of 30 normal and 6 custom entries
New tags: Group Sex (only on solo path), Blowjob, Interracial (only on solo path), Oral Sex
- Note: If you played previously on Android and you can't update, uninstall the old version first and then install a new version. A fresh start may be required depending on your Android version and how it deals with save files. I haven't found a solution to this yet. Also on PC, if your old saves don't load automatically, copy paste them from the 0.1.2 version's game folder into the new version game folder. This has been tested and saves on all paths load without any issues.
- while the prologue had a lot of focus on narration in order to present the world and setting to the player, starting with chapter 1 and onward, narration will be brought down to a bare minimum and if it does happen it will be done in short lines instead of a big wall of text like in the prologue. Therefore, chapter 1 and onward will have much more focus on the dialogue itself which results in hopefully a better reading experience for players.
- translations have been added for French and Spanish. You can select the language at first launch, otherwise you can change it in preferences. These are currently AI generated, but I'm seeking out help to proofread them in the future. If these do well, I may add more in the future chapters.
- all images were converted to WEBP and videos to WEBM formats in order to reduce the size of the game as much as possible from the get go because 4K version was already approaching 8 GB if using PNG. This results in a much smaller sizes for both 1080p and 4K versions at no noticeable loss to quality while also ensuring that Android version can keep getting updated without having to split the game into seasons (so far) because of it's 2 GB limit.
- gallery has been reworked to include sorting per character and adding of new exclusive non-cannon renders. Custom renders will be unlocked on ch1 completion and each subsequent chapter and more will be added with each new chapter. Canon renders and animations will also be there but will now be limited to lewd scenes and new appearance changes instead of random renders, therefore locations renders have been removed.
- journal has been updated with new entries and has also received scrollbars to be able to fit infinite entries as well as abilities. 3 new events , 5 lore and 3 character entries were added to the codex section.
Some fixes on the prologue chapter:
- in the prologue crypt scene some of the extra renders with no dialogue have been removed from the code. Total of 12 renders were removed from this section. This was done so there is no needles clicking required to get to the next dialogue so the flow should be better.
- a couple renders in the Clara's prologue romance scene have had issues with weird joints bending and floating, these have been corrected (this affected the animations as well, but I couldn't fix those in time as they take a long time to render so it will be done in the future when I go back and polish up these early animations more as I learn more animation techniques.
- in Clara's bathroom scene a hand going through a wall has been fixed on all paths.
- hunger has been renamed to ''Blood Pool'' as some people were confused what those percentages are supposed to represent. Since the MC uses her blood pool to cast abilities this should make more sense to people, hopefully.
- hunger bar's text color has been changed from white to red to make it easier to read against brighter backgrounds.
- all the ''i's'' that refer to a character speaking in first person have been capitalized in prologue that haven't been before.
- a couple more images can be unlocked for the gallery as you play the prologue as well as ch1. Due to this if you want a full gallery a new game is required and all paths need to be completed as some gallery entries are path exclusive.
So there you have it folks! I hope you like these new changes and additions and I'm looking forward to your feedback about this chapter. As always, I will gather feedback around and put in fixes if they are needed by the time of a official release a week from early access.
And to end it on a good note, Chapter 2 is already in pre-production! I suspect it may be a pretty emotional one for some people as consequences of your choices up to this point will take shape so I hope you stick around!
Take care all!
