Diminishment v0.301e - Chapter 2 Part 1 Initial release (Windows, 10$+ tier patrons) (Patreon)
Content
Known issues:
There might be a problem with a video loop getting stuck inside a certain "tunnel run" scene, but I'm unable to reproduce this one
Work around when getting stuck, you can save and reload the game and it should unstuck itself
You can also try playing with the video transition smoothness slider in the options menu, if the game seem to get stuck in infinitely looping videos a lot. The slider does not fix a situation when you are already stuck, but it can potentially help prevent it.
Loading from saves made within Chapter 2 Part 1 in version 0300e or older, causes all bad endings to freeze the game. Saving and reloading won't fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience! NOTE: Since it only affects the bad endings, your saves made at the end of the various branching paths/main paths should work fine in the future, for continuing on to the next part.
0301e:
Arrow mini-game (chapter 2) is easier now as well, forgot to modify the numbers for that one in 0301d
0301d:
Fixed a looping fade happening at the end of the school event
Fixed some minor dialogue text related issues
Lowered the difficulty on the quick time events. Easy is even easier now, and hard is closer to what normal was before.
It's easier to fail the tug of war minigame on purpose now
0301c:
Fixed a couple small transitional jumps in video at a couple points
Fixed Keyboard being overly sensitive during the tug of war minigame
0301b:
Fixed various issues with the dialogue tree in the intro, which broke the sequence depending on your choices
Fixed issue with affection hearts some times not appearing properlyD
isabled video audio during the main menu
0301a:
Fixed game getting stuck after being dropped into a certain place
Fixed a minor video glitch, where the video blacked out for a few frames
Changes:
Added most of the Audio
Added finalized video clips
Added an option to switch between streamed text, and built in text, for those who are having trouble with the streamed text. Using this option obviously makes it impossible to use custom translations or dialogue modifications
Added a loading screen to the new game start, to avoid confusion with the long black screen
Some other minor fixes & additions, bugs & typos
Still missing:
Some audio, mainly dialogue grunts and most stuff outside of the CG event
Portraits
Background images
Music might be changed
Various polishing
Other platforms (currently Windows only)
Hey,
It's done! Well the initial release version anyway. There's still some work left to do. Roughly a weeks worth.
Note that I haven't done extensive testing with this yet! While the biggest bugs were fixed with the WIP release, there might be some new bugs that came along with everything I just did, or that I've missed. Although those will likely mostly be some sounds playing when they shouldn't be, or not playing when they should. Let me know if you bump into anything!
You can find the game in the gallery/game folder, or on discord (10$ tier or higher)
Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy!
