v0.3b:
– There’s 205 or so updated/upgraded renders here. Including new animations for all of the sex scenes. Further on the note of animations, some may be a bit wonky, as I’ve been experimenting with keyframes and speeds between them in regard to sex. You’ll probably notice a bit of it in the Lukas/Veronica bathroom blowjob bathroom scene and/or the facial portion of it. All that said, I feel like I’ve got a stronger hold on animations because of it. I don’t expect those kinds of issues to show up in any other release. Funny enough, this segues perfectly into the next point quite well:
– I’ve come across a way to turn Camera Raw/XMP files into LUTs for Premiere. This will result in less of a noticeable color shift between animations and still renders pre and post-animation. There’s still going to be a bit of it due to color space differences (I believe, could’ve easily changed in newer version of Ren’py.), but it should be far less noticeable in the early scenes.
– Code is now to my liking. This should be the final forced restart going forward, short of the unlikely event that something essential needs to be changed.
– The Sports bar scene with Lukas/Veronica is now entirely skippable with all but two questions needing to be answered. I’ve gone over it before, but it was a bad writing choice that’s too late to fix at this point. So, breaking the fourth wall or not, at least you have the option to never see it again. The option to skip oral sex (unless you pull out) can be avoided, as well.
– The Logan Intro scene early on has been updated with a couple of extra renders, and sprinkle of foreshadowing.
– Park scene with Rainn/FMC and Reagan has been somewhat rewritten and shortened. Plays on the same sub/dom tendencies as the original, but is largely more of a small infodump for Reagan. I am aware of the render dimension issue at the end of the scene, will be fixed in the next update.
v0.2:
– Fixed a few typos, rephrased some weird sounding sentences, and cleaned up some more potential consistency issues leftover from the last release. Volumes of some music and/or sound effects have been lowered/altered, as well.
– Gave the option to rename Luke/Lukas as some found the name confusing in conjunction with Luca.
– I’ve resized the smaller text meant to imply quiet talking and/or whispering, but I do like the effect. Android users may still have an issue reading it, but it’s kind of one of those rock in a hard spot type of things. I’ll see if there’s anything I can do specifically for Android versions that one mess with the PC/Linux/Mac versions.
– In continuation of the previous point: I’ve changed the name and dialogue fonts. The latter not being all too different from Ren’py’s default type. Slightly thinner, slightly more modern, but not too different nonetheless. For the name fonts, I decided on something with a little more personality. Though, if there’s enough people having problems with it, then I’ll go back to something simpler. On the topic of fonts: there’s a corrupted (or perhaps better said ‘discombobulated’) looking font at a certain point in thee release. There’s nothing wrong with your system or the build/download. This was done on purpose to represent not listening, since I couldn’t find any blurry/neater non-readable fonts to use. Kind of the best option in a lack of selection. Feel free to pass on a better public domain/commercial-free option, though. I’m just not going to pay ludicrous prices for a font license.
– A few GUI changes. In place of a more aesthetically pleasing dialogue/text box, I’ve added a transparency slider for those that would like to be rid of the black blob taking up nearly half of the renders (as mentioned, credit for that goes to LightmanP(/TheWarehouse) for the help with that). Choices have been moved from the middle-left of the screen to the bottom-center, just above the textbox. Also, a new splash screen and ‘animated’ start menu (not technically animated, but made with a wiggle effect in After Effects with a dust particle video overlay’d.). There’s also a couple scenes near the end using the same effect without those particles. Mostly for experimentation, but I think they turned out pretty cool, tbh.
– 550~ish new renders, some 2,500-odd new lines of code and dialogue. No, I’m not going to count each one and separate them. Proofread twice, though I’ll guarantee I still missed some obvious stuff floating around. Animations are being worked in now, as well. Both sexual scenes in this release include animations. Good ones? I’ll let you be the judge of that. But the first three in the first scene have some clear quality/looping issues (mentioned in a previous progress report (one loops fine, but has a flickering issue. Dunno what’s causing it, though. Maybe on Ren’py’s side?). The other animations in the following scene are higher quality and loop better (for the most part, as one or two still have that flicker, iirc.). They aren’t fantastic, but I don’t think they’re bad enough to ruin the overall experience either. They’ll get better over time, for sure.
