v0.25 Progress Report #3 - GUI and QoL Changes! (Patreon)

Greetings guys!Here is our 3rd progress report for update 0.25!Today, we haven't worked on any renders or story but spent our time to update the GUI of the game and add some QoL functions that were desperately needed.This games GUI is incredibly outdated and even in 2019 it was behind the times. So we spent the time to introduce some quality features while trying to keep the original spirit of the game intact.Here's some changes we worked on:1. The Main MenuWe rebuilt the main menu so that it looks much sleeker. The game used the default Renpy GUI that looks really bland and basic (you may noticed that our game logo also looks a bit more seducive...)This is the new one, what do you think?

2. The Text BoxWe reworked the text box so that it's transparent now and no longer obscures anything during our favorite scenes.

3. The In-Game ScreenAs you can see, we made a ton of changes here. Besides replacing the old icons for things, we also added some functionality that was sorely needed.Now, on the bottom left, you will be able to see who is in what room. No longer will you have to hunt down the characters by clicking on each room to see if they are there.If their icon is above the room, it means that character is in that room currently.

4. The PhoneThis is probably the biggest change we made. The phone is no longer this ugly, basic thing. Now it displays all relevant information immediately without the need to click through a thousand different things.All relevant information about the relationship levels with the characters and your own stats are now immediately displayed.And we're sure you've noticed something in the upper left corner of the phone...

5. The WalkthroughThat's right! We're finally adding a walkthrough to the game! This is probably the feature people have most requested we put in.The game can be quite confusing at times, with players not knowing what they need to do exactly to access a specific path or how to continue the story.This walkthrough will provide you with a checklist so you know at all times what you need to do next to access new content.Keep in mind this screenshot is just from the test phase of the walkthrough and it will look different when we release the next update.It will feature a walkthrough for each path currently in the game and we will update it constantly as new paths open up.

Let us know what you think of these changes, and as always stay tuned for future updates!
