Defending Lydia Collier v.09.1 BETA
🕑 Added 2021-04-01 00:42:12 +0000 UTCGood Evening!
Here is the release of v.09.1 Beta after I have hopefully fixed the time machine bugs from the Alpha.
Please note this version is still a WIP and you may experience some bugs, if you do, please let me know either on Discord or at www.whitephantomgames.co.uk/forum.
Please note old saves ARE NOT COMPATIBLE with v.09.1.
If you submit a bug report from a save that comes from an earlier version, it will not be fixed, there is simply too much variation from pre-v.09.1 code to the current version.
YOU MUST START A NEW GAME.
Download Links:
Defending Lydia Collier v.09.1.1 has now been released, so I've removed the BETA Links!
Defending Lydia Collier v.09.1.1
The download underneath is just the scripts, if you have v.09.1 BETA the only changes to v.09.1 are bug fixes, so copying and pasting these into your game folders (and choosing to replace/overwrite all previous versions) SHOULD update the game to v.09.1.
If you have any problems with this please just download v.09.1 fully from the links above. If you do not have v.09.1 BETA you'll be missing images so please download the full thing.
Thank you to everybody who gave me feedback during the Beta stage.

Development Notes:
Hello,
This update revamps the game's code considerably, and that is why old saves aren't compatible. Whilst it does not extend the game, there's still a fair amount added and if you comb through Whistle, text messages and the news websites you'll be able to find out a lot more about some characters.
Whilst this took a very long time to developed, now it is in place updating the news websites, messages, bets etc for future days will be relatively easy and quite quick to do as opposed to creating the framework and 10 days worth of content in one go as happened here. Some of this content may seem like 'random filler' and to a degree it is, but I feel a news website, messages, tv etc that only showed stories relevant to the path the player is currently on would be unrealistic and that is why it is included.
There may still be some bugs in the Beta. I've learnt a ton of new things to create in Ren'Py but I have no real history as a coder, so sometimes things do go wrong but if you let me know, I'll have the problem fixed as quickly as possible.
Thanks for all your support!
Defending Lydia Collier v.9.1 Final will be released in three days, hopefully unchanged, but if there are any bugs and they are reported then they will be here.
The next update will then be Defending Lydia Collier v.10.
A huge thanks for all the continued support, and I hope you enjoy the update!
