Chapter Summary Feature
🕑 Added 2021-04-07 19:20:51 +0000 UTCAs promised in my last post, please find the above video detailing the chapter summary.
One of the things that bothers me as an avid VN player myself is that when a development cycle lasts months, it's easy to forget details of where I left off when new content is released..
A method of helping players re-acclimate to the story would be to allow the player to pull up the summary of the last update's playthrough at the beginning of a new chapter. It also felt like a good idea to let the player know what their choices amounted to at the end of a chapter, so they can revisit them if they're unhappy with the outcome.
The above video should demonstrate our first swing at an approach to bridging this gap.
My intent is to make retrofit this to Chapter 1 and possibly the Prologue as well.
Thanks to Evite for all of his effort in bringing this surprisingly challenging feature to life in Ren'Py.
