Status update
🕑 Added 2018-06-19 22:43:50 +0000 UTCAs I did an update recently, this week's update will be quite small.
As you know, I'm still just waiting for renders to complete before being able to send out the game for beta testing. I have 4 still images and 3 animations left to render. We are on schedule.
Meanwhile, I've kept myself busy writing approximately 10% of the script for Episode 4, polished the script of Episode 3 and worked on a new Gallery feature.
The scene gallery (see image) will be included in Episode 3 (v0.3.0) and can be accessed from the main menu. You unlock scenes by playing the game and rewatch those scenes from this gallery. It also gives you an indication if you have missed any scene (or an extended version of that scene). The gallery doesn't contain any spoilers for unwatched scenes, except for the actual scene count.
You can continue playing Episode 3 from your previous save and all gallery scenes from Episode 1 and 2 will retroactively unlock immediately when Episode 3 starts.
If you start from the beginning you must unlock everything the normal way.
I hope you like this feature.
It is now 10 days or less until Episode 3 is released.
Cheers

No problem, I am not a coder myself but have just seen the used technique in action. Glad you got it sorted!

Thank Bluntobject for making me take time to fix it, which I just did. You don't have to replay Episode 1 and 2 now. ;)
DrPinkCake
Lol, I fixed it. :D No need to replay the game now if you are continuing from an old save. Thanks for the kick in the butt to fix it.

Hm... What I managed to do was to unlock the buttons to the scenes, but I think the cache also needs to store the labels used for each scene, so I couldn't use the gallery as intended when I manually unlocked the scenes... I can check to see if I can get around it easily but I don't have that much time to spend on it, especially when it already is working as intended. I will ask my fellow dev friends if they know how to do it. Thanks for the input!

There is something you can do, technically. The command to unlock the galleries has something to do with the "persistent" cache and its file placed in the same library as the save games. So one could place these unlock commands within the code but it will mean that you by that point unlock that particular part of the gallery, no matter if you had restarted or not.
