Hello people! The remastering is 100% ready! ๐Ÿ˜not much more to say regarding it, now it only remains to do the Steam process and wait for approval ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

For the first time I will talk a little (but only a little) about season 2 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ.

I imagine that many will know that one of the most used programs to make visual novels is Ren'Py (I'm even a Ren'Py Patreon ๐Ÿ™ƒ), IoM season 1 was created with version 7.4.6. For Season 2 I will be making a change to take advantage of the improvements that have been made to the program, and will be using version 8.1.3+ (The most current version), that will allow me to keep moving forward and creating better things for everyone.

The remastering is going to be the new IoM standard, everything you see in it will be implemented from the start of Season 2, by everything I mean:

1) 4k / 60fps animations.

2) Sounds in all hot scenes with volume control. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

3) 30 languages since episode 1 of Season 2.

From now on I don't plan to do any more remastering in future seasons, everything I have learned developing season 1 together with its remastering is enough so from now on I don't have to remaster the new content coming. (The remastering has been a barbaric amount of work, I'm happy with having done it, but from now on, I don't want to have to do another one, neither me, nor you, haha) ๐Ÿ˜ Only new content from our beloved Jennifer! ๐Ÿ˜

Keep in mind that Season 2 will not include the content of season 1, this way, the size will be smaller as we will go episode by episode, I will be able to use new technologies like a new version of Ren'Py and start doing things even better than in season 1 thanks to everything I have learned and seen that I could have done better.

As always, I will keep you all informed of the progress, now I will finalize the Steam package, send it tomorrow, and cross my fingers while waiting for the approval. ๐Ÿคž

I wish you all a great week! ๐Ÿบ

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

marcialart

Yeahhhh Lander! Lets goooooooo!!!!!

Armaster

Yes! Even though I appreciate your remastering efforts, personally I'm looking forward to new content. The first steps to absolute corruption have been taken. Moar plees!

Bazino

How do we transfer our progress from Season 1 to Season 2, because I think I've read for other projects that the upgrade on the new Ren'Py version leads to saves not being useable anymore?

marcialart

Hello Armaster! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Thanks for appreciating it ๐Ÿ™‚ I also understand that people want more content to see the story moving forward. Also, I prefer and enjoy developing new content way more than doing a remaster (Remastering was not much fun, to be honest ๐Ÿ˜…) but I think it was needed because now people will be able to play IoM in their native language and also I learned a lot of new stuff to apply in Season 2. ๐Ÿคฉ Moaaaar! ๐Ÿ˜

marcialart

Hey Bazino! ๐Ÿ™ƒ You are completely correct about that, the previous saves won't be usable in Season 2. I'm planning on adding a quick questionnaire at the beginning of Season 2, so people can choose the options/decisions that they made in Season 1. ๐Ÿ™‚

Jason

Is there Chinese among the 30 languages?

marcialart

Hello Jason! Yes, Chinese simplified is included. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Bazino

I need an option to also transfer all my millions of cash over to Season 2!

marcialart

Your millions??? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Maybe the little sis stole all her money! ๐Ÿ˜‚

JBNYC

Great to hear, MarcialART! Keep up the good works, my friend. Looking forward to the next hot chapter! Cheers! :-)

Bazino

Do you have any goal when to release the first version of Season 2?

marcialart

Woot! Thanks a lot, Jonny Boy!!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜Ž

marcialart

No specific date yet on my mind right now, Bazino. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Bazino

I was afraid you'll say that :-( We need more stuff! ;-)

marcialart

Hehe, more good stuff will come ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Rex Dollinger

promises,promises ,promises! Lets see some performance for a change.

marcialart

If you don't like the way I work and you are not happy with my performance, Rex, there are many other amazing developers that you can choose to support instead of me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Eric wade

thats the way to build customers.

marcialart

Hello Eric! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I always give my best and my 100%, and if someone comes to tell me that my work is not enough, like Rex, I prefer to tell him to support another developer because I'm already giving my 100%. I'm only being honest. ๐Ÿ™‚ But usually being honest is not the way to build customers. ๐Ÿ˜…

Darren Thomas

I have to say, it's Season 2 that excites me most but I can wait.

TheIrishBob

Just finished season 1 and can't wait for season 2. Keep up the great work
