Weekly Update (5-13-2024) (Patreon)

I made pretty good progress this week. Got through a lot of the mapping for the update, so I'll try to transition to writing before long. I've also been doing some fixes to old content on the side, thanks to some comprehensive reports by StormyAngel!

Of particular note is a really obnoxious persistent bug with text scenes that eats a page of text now and then. I had fixed most of the ones in the intimate scenes in my work on the public release, but I missed some of the very early scenes, and also, it would seem it snuck into the scene where Ligaea swears her loyalty in Avalonia as well. It's a really freaking obnoxious bug. >.>; One day I hope to figure out exactly what causes it (beyond vaguely being interaction between wordwrap and my text script) and properly squash it at the source, but for now, I can fix it with manual adjustment of the spots where it appears. I'm probably going to post a quick version with those fixes soon. (It won't have the graphical updates below, I've only made those changes in my working version, not the v0.11 branch).

While I was at it, I also touched up Calistrae palace a little bit in the same vein as Elysios City. This is mainly inside the palace, as in the screenshots below, though I'll note that the golden arcs on the floors in the throne room are also in the city's palace district outside. (I just noticed that old Telosian sprite while taking the screenshot, will have to fix that XD)

I also did a tiny bit more adjusting on Elysios.
