House Party 0.8.5 (Alpha) (Patreon)
Content
Hey guys!
Here's House Party 0.8.5 Alpha! This build includes the finale of Amy's Scavenger Hunt story path, as well as fixes and tweaks to Date Night With Brittney and Slumber Party at Madison's.
Some of you may have noticed some performance dip in the last version. This was mostly due to the addition of more real-time lighting. We tweaked out the quality settings so there is more of a difference between the highest and lowest setting in regard to the lighting and added a shadows toggle. (The shadows toggle toggles only the *real-time* shadows off and on, so you will still see baked shadows if you have them off). We are seeing about a doubling of FPS between the high and low quality settings, so this build should feel smoother for those of you with older systems or GPUs.
We know and are aware that there are several issues with SPaM, and the story will not be going to Beta this cycle so we can take some more time to improve on it. Date Night With Brittney is near-complete however, and will be hitting Beta testers next week!
From here, we will be optimizing, tuning, and tweaking to gear up for the public release of 0.8.5 and DNWB, and commissioning voice-acting for both Date Night, and the Original Story.
I didn't get a Linux build together for this Alpha, just because for some reason they are taking forever to build in the new version of Unity. If nobody is waiting on a Linux version, I am going to start omitting it. I'm not sure if we even have any Linux players here, but if we do, speak up!
