Version 0.4b changelog:
– Around 1 hour and 20 minutes of additional gameplay in this version (if you go through everything)… Keep in mind this is based on my reading speed, so it may vary from person to person.
– 12,611 new words in the dialogues… Bringing the overall total to 44,916 words (this was referring to version 0.4, but after revisions and modifications, the total word count is now 44,492.)
– 724 new rendered images plus 8 videos (first time using videos, but everything is running smoothly). This brings the total image count to 2,910.
– 7 images redone: 2 in the menu and 5 within the game. These correspond to updates reflecting small appearance changes for 3 characters (Josephine, Katherine and Ronald).
– Added two new background ambience tracks.
– All dialogues received a deeper revision to make them flow more naturally for English speakers. Therefore, some dialogues remain unchanged, others have been trimmed slightly, and some expanded, but the original meaning hasn’t changed, so you don’t need to re-read everything… The dialogues of Mother and Guards aren’t affected by this, as they’re meant to sound intentionally forced.
Important Note: This version features the first POSSIBLE Game Over. If you mess up, your MC could end up dead. Make sure to save the game before making any decisions… It’s not a guaranteed death, and even if it happens, it won’t be right away. So, once again, do yourselves a favor and save the game before making any decisions.
This is in constant development, evolving. I’ve added an important extra variable, so I recommend replaying at least from the point where you had to choose between the four girls. If you don’t, you might miss some dialogue variations and/or a small extra scene (depending on your choice), and in the future, the game might behave strangely.
If you think it’s necessary to replay everything from the start or don’t have a save at the point of that choice, remember you can use the ‘Skip Unseen Text’ option in the Preferences menu (so you won’t be interrupted when skipping because of text changes). Once you select it, just hold down the CTRL key inside the game and you’ll be right back at the choice in no time.
v0.3
– 1034 new images, divided into 784 normal images (some of them are used in sequences anyway as I have done in other occasions) and 250 images corresponding to real animations in 30 FPS. With this the final count of images in the game amounts to 2186 for now.
– The new words (corresponding to all the character dialogues) in this version are 9835. Given my actual reading speed, this converts to more or less one hour and ten minutes of new gameplay. The total number of words in the entire game, with this now amounts to 32305.
– All saved games from previous versions are still compatible and I have finally (yes, this time I really did it) eradicated a small bug related to the starting point of those saved games.
This update is entirely dedicated to expanding the events in the secondary branch, where Sally dies. So if you’ve already played the other side, don’t do it again because there’s nothing new there… The next update (v 0.4) is the one that will continue the main path… Anyway, I imagine that everyone who plays this is trying both paths… I guess, I sincerely hope so… because the information is compartmentalized between both routes.
If you want to get a clearer picture of “what the hell is going on”, you have to really explore the two paths.
v0.2b
– The old version of Emma has completely disappeared from the game. That means that a total of 407 images have been redone. This also largely solves several of the poorly rendered images at the beginning of the game, although there are still a few that need to be retouched in the future…
– The game Menu has been changed to something a little more modern to give it a personal touch and not leave the old default menu.
– Final interactions with Emma and Asami (hot scenes at the end of the current game) have been completed. Therefore now the four options are open to choose freely.
– Due to the above, 103 new images have been added corresponding to the scenes with Emma and Asami.
– The introduction scene of the “new Emma” was removed as it was no longer necessary.
– Fixed small problems at the starting point of saved games. Now EVERYTHING works perfectly.
– Finally, the total sum of words of all dialogues is now 22,470. And the total number of images is 1170.
v0.2
– 488 new images (for a total of 1067) that follow the story of the main path.
– Approximate gameplay time this version: One hour and fifteen minutes (which makes a total of almost 3 hours playing everything).
– Total words (sum of both versions): 21,328
– Sound: 8 new songs and 5 new sound effects.
