Weekly Update (9-16-2024) (Patreon)

Update is in good shape so far. I need to do a few things still, but mainly technical and polishing type things, the bulk of the work is done and the update is playable all the way through. Definitely feeling a bit worn out, but I'm excited, too. Some of the things in this update are things I've been waiting so very, very, very long to do. XD Sometime next month, around the public release (and one year anniversary of the relaunch), I think I want to write up a bit of a retrospective on the game and how it's evolved since I first started in 2017 (and changed when I resumed it last year after the long hiatus I had to take due to successive life issues). A lot of ideas have morphed and improved since their original iterations. Anyway, have a few teasers:


 

One thing I'm going to add this version is some new QoL, as well. This includes probably a partial settings menu on the main menu so you can, for example, set volume before starting the game. Also going to add a script to pull the starting volume from your last save if you have any as a fallback for my method that uses a persistent settings file. There are also some improvements to essentially have the game recognize that you have certain settings on that require external patches (e.g. intimate scenes patch, old Ligaea patch, any future lower difficulty patches I may offer) and add them to the system menu even if the patch isn't currently installed. In general, if there's a feature you feel the game would benefit from, I can't always promise I'll do it, but I'm always open to considering.

Anyway, back to polishing for now, haha.
