0.0.12 Postpartum
🕑 Added 2018-05-24 07:06:53 +0000 UTC What changed:Fixed the issue where various parts of Catelly (and another unreleased character) were fading very poorly.
Fixed where outlines weren't fading with the speaker
Fixed More Drinks with Danica so it didn't add a copy of The Vial to town every time someone spoke.
Made it more clear in The Vial that the cat transform isn't permanent.
Catelly's outline was super broken once you got the larger breasts transformation.
Fixed the portraits so the bottom of their legs don't clip into nothing.
Fixed resolution support? Can it ever really be fixed? I'm sure someone has a resolution on some monitor form 1999 that I didn't think about.
You can no longer save in a scene. Town only. You can load anywhere still though.
What happened:
Tech debt and bugs. I don't have a ton of time to work on this project, so when I do, I have to move quickly to get results. This works, but slowly over time the program accumulates tech debt. This reared it's ugly head with the lips and bigger breasts transformation.
I used to just put the changed parts on Catelly like a sticker. This worked, except when I wanted to fade the scene out. An eagle eye'd viewer noted they it made her mouth look like a zombie maw and she had phantom boobs. To fix this, when I create a Catelly portrait that is modified, I render the image like normal to a special location with all of the modified parts, save that image, and then swap combined image with the default image. While a pain, the system can handle it forever now.
The other thing to talk about is saves. Saving in a scene is a headache. My naive solution of just saving the all the portrait data and current speaking line fails when you save on a line that causes a transition. For now, I've turned off saving in scenes. I've always been on the fence about that for design reasons, but if tech reasons support it, it's gone. It might return in the future though.
Whats Next?
The scene I've been working on, but can't get the time to finish is finally going to show up.
I'm ordering the drawn sex scene of CatellyXDanica round 1 this week, which means it might make it next update, it might not. Just depends on how busy 5ish is.
