Dev Update: The Whole Game Got a New Look (Patreon)

Hey Everyone!

Quick one first: if you missed it, v0.91.00 with Vesna and Maren is already out for supporters, and it goes free on October 23. Early access is here if you don't want to wait.Play v0.91.00 now →

So, this week. No new story this time. It started as a small UI cleanup and kind of got out of hand. Every time I fixed one screen, the one next to it looked old, so I ended up redoing almost everything you click on. The image above is six of them, straight from the game.

The stuff I'm happiest with

The dialogue box. New font, cleaner look, and your character's thoughts get their own card now, so you're never guessing if he said it or just thought it.

Choice cards. You can pick with the number keys, and choices you already took are marked.

The town map has a label on every building now. It also shows who's where, with a ring when her story is ready there. Only a few girls are hooked up so far, the rest are coming.

A real tutorial that walks you through the HUD, instead of four static pictures.

The phone got a new home screen, text pop-ups, and you reply by tapping a chip.

Every note on the notice boards can be opened and read now. A couple of them are a bit silly.

You sign a tenancy agreement when you pick your name. Small thing, but I really like it.

Also redone

Save/Load, Preferences, Help and the popups.

History, which is now a timeline by day and shows your choices.

The HUD (it has a night look now), the room bar and the backpack.

The minigame screens and the speed controls in animated scenes.

The loading screen. Android finally has one too, it used to show the default.

If you play on phone: all text is at least 22px now, so no more squinting, and menus don't run off the screen anymore.

And a couple of fixes

Resetting Lights Out during a bet was free. It costs the bet now.

One of Carmen's scenes had a Slower button that did nothing. Fixed.

Some of you told me getting around the game was a pain, and that's a big part of why I did all this. So tell me what you think of the new look, good or bad.

Discord's open if you want to reach me directly: discord.gg/x6GqNQwkBs

Thanks for sticking with me.
