SHELTER v49.9 Build (Patreon)

中文翻译已完成！You can download the builds from our new website now!https://knotsoft.dog/shelter/download/Awoo,

One extra build before the big v-fifty! Not only does it conclude Resnick's latest crossover chapter (continuation with Alon on Demons Within side next!), but it also comes with a whole bunch of changes in the gallery and code that I think will make it so much nicer to get into Shelter for new players… while another gimmick will hopefully make it possible for you to play it at all, for people who couldn't before!

So the list of new things is…

over 5000 words of new script, finally concluding the latest chapter of A Demon Within Shelter (Alon next, in Demons Within!)

new outfit and accessories for Resnick's sprite set

a HUGE rework of PATHS and the general flow of the game. It's a pretty big list of changes, with all the details better explained in the devlog here: https://www.patreon.com/raus/posts/gallery-redo-170459151

an ongoing improvement to MUSIC gallery section, that you can read more about here: https://www.patreon.com/raus/posts/gallery-redo-170577701

One extra thing I added since that devlog is the option to toggle on and off stems of music that is made of multiple overlapping layers of music!

an ongoing improvement to CHARACTER section's sprite viewer, about which I don't have a devlog for yet and it's still very much work in progress, but basically all of the sprites are there now!

swapped like five or six of the old placeholder background pictures with beautiful hand-painted pieces from Hughhhh and Jasper we accumulated over the last few months

improved ending credits display for the end of the routes credits, splitting the lists into smaller chunks to have the credits less cramped

modified the fanarts display to accommodate images without social media source now

added a work-in-progress software translation of Portuguese, Spanish and Russian languages (for some of the files we were still missing) with multiple tools for the players to help us improve it over time as a joint effort! You can read about it here: https://www.patreon.com/raus/posts/shelter-v49-9-171338549Also, I noticed there's been no views on the youtube video since I kinda edited it in there without big announcements, but it's here, and I explain everything to you there too :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9IpUmW8MVg

Improved the language selection interface with tiny flags, so it's easier to see where the language selection is even if you can't read it because you happen to be in a different language. It's gonna get even clearer once we get icons for the other interface stuff. Also, PATHS is on main menu now once you unlock it

fixed bugs and typos

probably added a whole bunch too

That's a heckton of new stuff, so please play around with it, go through a few random sections of the game and see if anything breaks. If you spot anything, please let me know, and I'll fix it asap!

Have fun! Awoo~!

Your Dog,
