V.098! Plant Mini Game, Squirrel Sex Scene, and CHEATS! (Patreon)

HERE'S THE BUILDS~! 

[EDIT]Got that little thing fixed! Vixel also tuned up a couple other things :> All good to go now! (hopefully lolo, let us know if you find bugs) [/EDIT]

==Notable Features==

Squirrel Sex scene is animated and in-game! (Still need some dialogue to finish it off)

Squirrel mini game has assets!

Plant Mini-Game fully implemented! With UI and sounds! It’s a lot different than our lil’ stand in one last month. Give it a shot! (And say hi to the mouse for me!)

“The Notebook” finally implemented – this unlocks the Gossip ability normally. Also tutorial visuals for the Gossip Interaction UI

Various system fixes and bug updates! (You can now transition scenes and directional movement persists! There was also a potential softlock bug regarding autosaving.)

Hacked together some quick CHEATS! Just small platforms that unlocks various things like: Dodgeroll, Skipping the Tutorial, Unlock all sex scenes, and Delete Saved Data! 

Penny now remains after dropping you off. You can also cancel a flight to just chat and explore the gossip options!

Debux of particle effects! (In the plant minigame) 

Switched the “examine” interaction with the new UI! You’ll see a shiny new yellow button.

Gossip portraits (rough draft)

==Notable Bugfixes==

Start menu - could navigate the start menu before it had fully appeared

Start menu - holding X at launch to clear savegame caused game to softlock

Red would sometimes stop walking when transitioning between scenes until the movement key was released/pressed

If the savegame file was ever locked by an outside process, Autosave would blink forever and the game would softlock

Narrator and Standard dialogue text background would flicker briefly when starting a new conversation that used the opposite background

Could navigate the interaction ui with left/right bumpers while the interaction menu was invisible

Whew! Not gonna lie this month went by pretty damn fast Dx - But we were diligently plugging away. Things are SO HECKIN CLOSE to finished for Act 1! We really don't have much else to do save for all the spit and polish. 

New systems that we do still need is stuff like Particle Systems, and Sound Effects (non sex ones... for now). We've got a lot of these assets in the works, just haven't hooked everything up just yet!

We actually had to create a new system for handling "mini game" systems :O! Add that to the list of things I don't consider when planning stuff bahaha, but the system is there now, so future ones should be quicker (famous last words xD)

There's lots of other functionality things that need to get done before Act 1 is "officially ready" - stuff like better controller support, consistent screen ratio support, figuring something out for persistent data and just "updating" rather than fresh installing every time. And I'm sure a million other things I'm not aware of. Not to mention OSX, Linux, and WebGL troubleshooting.

Games are dumb y'all lmao. 

Thanks again for all of your support! We appreciate the HECK outa you guys <3 Be safe and wash them hands!
