Hey y'all, I basically have a gun to my back (or a jackhammer to my skull) to get this out NOW, so this one is gonna be brief.
re:Dreamer (0.18.1) is halfway between a bugfix release and a proper release, but let's get into the changelog:
Ren'Py 8.2.0 broke a lot of things, and because I was both an idiot who decided to update before the release and had to crunch to get the release out the door the day I did due to very extenuating circumstances in my life (and the same thing is happening again right now), I missed them. These include:
Visual bugs (mostly tied to characters shifting in height by a few pixels, the weird composites I made for split expressions, or Zoey/Samantha's yandere face to normal face dissolve not working).
Animation fixes (some CGs broke in pretty egregious ways, but characters also sometimes flew across the screen).
Britney's variable for her sitting down on her hips and not her legs broke (I still don't understand this one at all).
Text overflowing out of the 4-line limit in the textbox (Ren'Py changed its text shaping from TrueType to HarfBuzz and this lead to lines changing width).
Ai's font getting messed up (same issue, but more severe as this font collapses certain contractions into a messy blob on the apostrophe, i.e. "it'd" became almost illegible).
And a whole lot of more minor issues I am forgetting to mention.
That being said, there is a bit of new writing sprinkled throughout the script, the most noteworthy of which is Britney Day 3 having a new scene outside of the church that explains the issues with binding better. But there are small edits almost everywhere in the script as I had to rewrite a few lines to fit the text width changes. It's just barely shy enough of having enough new content to warrant a new version.
I think I finally fixed the phantom rhythm game popup on loading saves! It was an easy fix I just didn't see of hiding the "ddr_notify" screen instead of the "notify" one.
