Devlog #19 - The upcoming .1d (Patreon)

First of all. Thank you everyone who is supporting me. I never imagined I would get this much support so fast. I am doing my best to deliver more content as quickly as possible. It's been just a short time since launch. This release focuses on content improvement less so than content addition although, there's more content. So where are we at?

Release timeframe: In the next few days.

#1 Bug Fixes and updates

- The Secret Lovers route has been greatly expanded and fixed. I wasn't happy with it but now its a good route. It leads the MC to having the Rogue/Stealth trait in the main game and I'm very happy where it's going now. Requires a new game.

- Saved games being messed up. This has been corrected but now saved games from .1c or before are no longer valid. Please start a new game. I'm sorry but this is unavoidable.

- Discord communication has been added to all Patreons with a special role and tier.

- There were issues with the gallery flags not properly flagging. I think it's fixed and should work with a new game to flag the content you've cleared. The gallery and replay isn't implemented yet but the code to flag it is. Any new games should properly flag it without having to be replayed. This is an experimental feature so hopefully it works.

- There was minor errors in naming conventions that have been fixed.

- There was issues with flags not recording properly. i.e. mc_virgin, etc that didn't allow proper content flow. Those have all been fixed now by the beta team. I have 2 beta testers now so I think these issues will no longer be a problem.

- Random events got a big improvement and are now much more viable. There might be some fixes needed but the basic system is working beyond expectations. This contributes to random event generation (LATER in the game) as well as pregnancy occurrence. It's working very well.

- Functions for major events. This is a completely backend deal with no visual impact but allows for more seamless calculation of events which is critical to future events. 

#2 Content Improvements

- Players will now see the relations elements for a given character in their side image. The idea is to provide the player an easy way to know where their relationship is with a character immediately. Not waiting for the end game summary. Essentially real time feedback.

- Pregnancy flag has been implemented. If you impregnate a character you will know right away by a baby symbol in the middle bottom of the character's side image. There is also a one line dialog that also indicates this.

- The Secret Lovers route is now awesome.

#3 New Content

- The build will include the "Meet the Robinsons" story for $25 patrons.

- The main story extends to a dinner scene (all routes) and more sexuality for the virgin and secret lovers route. More content coming for other routes in the next release.

# 4 Content Improvements

- I have deployed in .1d a new animation system that is very good and keeps the visual fidelity of the static scenes. It delivers near 24fps quality but with a only 40% of the file size. All scenes in the new version use this. Future updates will revisit old scenes and bring them to this fidelity and clarity.

# Language Extensions

- Portuguese is now a selectable language.

This was a massive update to deliver in just a few days. I am grateful for all the support I've received and the next release will be even better!
