Malevolent Planet 2D Day2.0 Classroom - Testing Build 2
🕑 Added 2023-02-24 15:46:46 +0000 UTCHappy Friday! Here's the 2nd testing build for the classroom update.
New Additions:
- New Avatar for Amani Sanah: includes the naked body, a default expression, the Academy outfit, and the Jumpsuit. (preview in screenshot above)
- New Avatar for Gloria Jacobs: includes the naked body, a default expression, the Academy outfit, and the Jumpsuit.
- Many bugfixes so the experience should be smoother than TB1 from a week ago. I've ran a playthrough just now and I can get from beginning to end without issues (except for being able to sleep before showering in Day1, I need to look into that). Also, the Lighting/Black Screen in some levels issue is now fixed!
- Cleaned the UI a bit, less elements that aren't supposed to be there yet.
Known Issues (split into categories):
Potential to be game-breaking:
- When waking up in Day2 and exiting the room, you have to use the academy pants and academy shirt in order to get out. The issue is that the full academy suit is still in your inventory when you wake up, so that can create confusion. It'll be fixed by the proper build in a week.
- When loading a save made during the classroom content, the NPCs will reset their positions and you may not be able to advance. This should be fixed by next week.
UI issues:
- During the classroom content, the clothes of the player character and Alberto render above/in front of the desks. In order to fix this I need to change something about the layers the character clothes render on, so I hope I'll come up with a good solution that's easy to implement by the proper build.
- The Nurse hat renders in front of the hair, it's supposed to render behind the hair.
- Amani and Gloria sometimes render without their clothes on during dialogues. That's because I'm rendering them manually rather than having an automated system similar to what the player has with the inventory system. I want to add an inventory system for the NPCs for the chibi outfits and the avatar outfits to show without me having to play anything manually, but I'm afraid it'll break things. I'll make a decision next week.
- Alberto suffers from the same issue as Amani and Gloria and his avatar might render without the clothes during some dialogues at the end.
- Amani and Alberto show up during Amani's scene drawing at the end, partially obscuring the view. This'll surely be fixed by next week. Sorry if this is actually gamebreaking for you :D
All in all, there's some progress compared to last week. I do hope that some changes I've made last-minute to the layers of the desks won't break anything. They shouldn't, but you never know.
I wish I could've done more for this update, in terms of art and some dialogues at the end together with a new bedtime scene, but it's been very busy so I'm trying my best to manage my time between work.
If you'll check out this update, please let me know if you encountered any issues :)
Have a great weekend, I hope you'll get some rest because I'll definitely try to get some rest personally in order to refresh my skills for a more productive week.
