QoL Improvements & More!
🕑 Added 2021-03-14 18:40:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Just wanted to share a little unexpected update. There have been a few little improvements & features that I'm really excited to share.
== Profile Pages ==
The first new addition are these little profile pages! I wanted to include some sort of 'status' page for characters but really wasn't sure how to do it. The progression system in-game is complicated behind the scenes but to the player, I feel is fairly straight forward.
So instead of trying to somehow visualize that, I instead went with general biographies to add a little bit of fun details to the characters. I was really pleasantly surprised with how these came out. I was able to color coordinate each character's page and it makes for a pretty cute bio that fits the theme of the game.
The bottom right section of the 'favorites' DOES have some text that goes there. However, it will only show up when you have a strong relationship with that person. It's more private information ;P
== Mouse Cursor and Icons ==
This is a small thing to most but a big thing for me, haha. When I switched engines, I lost the custom mouse cursor. I think mouse cursors are a small, yet significant detail for visual novels. I was stoked to find a plugin that works with everything else in the game and adds custom mouse cursor support so that's back!
If you don't like the custom cursor, I will likely add the option in the future to disable it.
I've also spent some time tweaking some of the icons that appear when you hover over interactable objects/characters. I think these look a bit better and further help add a bit more polish that I felt HC was lacking.
=====
That's everything for this update! Sorry, I know it's not the usual NSFW teasers or things like that but I'm just really happy to see some of the other features coming together. NSFW content is super important for a project like this but it's all of the other small details that are just as important imo to help round out the overall quality of a project.
Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you soon with Beta 0.5!
