Forgive the new format for a release post, but I'm trying something new to show the preview to everyone and not just Sustainers.
Sorry for the delay, but the holidays were particularly busy this year!
re:Dreamer (0.5.5) continues the revival of Britney with:
- Heavy cuts to Britney writing after the "Just ask her to come to your room." menu choice, but the cuts have largely been replaced with new content that is better and more concise (seriously, what is up with a lot of my earlier writing tapdancing around the point it is trying to get to?).
- The closet scene has been cut for now as it needs to either be replaced with something new or reworked so that Zach doesn't do something as stupid as light a road flare inside of 13 sq ft enclosure.
- Edits to Britney writing after the "Try to tell her the details over text." menu choice, as well as new content.
- Slight edits to the Keisuke shower sex scene.
- The usual slew of minor edits for stylistic consistency.
Non-story changes are:
- T.E.A.C.H. has been replaced with C.H.E.A.T.S. Previously, 'self_worth' had been a separate variable originally meant for use exclusively in Keisuke's route, but it's been used like the T.E.A.C.H. stats for a while now, and this is a logical change that's been a long time coming.
- Some of the C.H.E.A.T.S. variables have been renamed ("Horny" is now "Horniness", "Emotion" is now "Emotionality", "Autism" is now "Aloofness", "Trans" is now "Transexuality (Femininity)", and "Self-Worth" is now "Self-Esteem"). This doesn't change how the variables function but helps to better explain what they mean.
- The personality quiz at the very start of the game has been slightly revamped to better explain what each variable affects.
- Extremely large swathes of borrowed Student Transfer code have been cut out of the game to drastically increase performance. Student Transfer goes for a complicated body swap system that uses character abstractions which re:Dreamer has no need for.
- One of the biggest parts of this change is that re:Dreamer no longer uses any of Student Transfer's code to display images. This code is rather unoptimized, and layeredimage displays take their place.
- Every last cg and character sprite in the game (including the placeholders) has been redone and scaled with waifu2x to give them that extra bit of visual pop. It's most noticeable on the Keisuke mall cg, masturbation, dream sex, and the mirror self-voyeurism.
- An Android-breaking bug with two of the shopping mall background images has been fixed (the JPEG files were encoded in an awful way that causes Android to have issues a PCs wouldn't).
- An extremely minor issue with the bitmap font used during variations of the Keisuke mirror sex scene has been fixed so that Ren'Py's error checker no longer yells at me for something that actually works.
- Outfits are no longer declared by hand with every scene change and are now a stored variable, which fixes two loose bugs. Why wasn't I doing this in the first place?
