Mondays With WhiteRaven (Patreon)

The updates have replaced the Monday posts lately.

But now I'll start them once again until next update, hope you did not miss them too much.

The game have gotten a mayor bugfix, a lot of annoying bugs that caused issues in the game is removed.

I'm talking about:

Major performance boost (3 GB → 1 GB, smoother playback) Less RAM required

Rebuilt video plugin (fixed crashes + broken scenes + added guard)

Built a new picture system that uses webp saves tons of cache and size

New Android optimization (better performance on large maps) throttle and skipping stepping animations

HUD & Compass optimized (less lag in towns and brothel)

Many bug fixes and improved stability overall

Quest hub audit and streamlined, fixed Sarah issues now she will also hint what you should be doing

Skip seen scenes

I'm currently working on a skip scene plugin that will mark scenes as seen and let you skip them if you want to, its almost done but with one problem skipping scenes now don't let you progress the game at all.

Gallery

The skip seen scenes plugin will also add these scenes into a gallery which you unlock and of course all supporters get access to all the scenes at the game start. There's at least 500 scenes that the skip seen scenes script found in the data files.

Intro & Main menu

I tested a new font and color, let me know which one you like the most. Now skip intro is moved out from the chain of questions and into the menu. Starting the game give you no questions and preferences and tutorial are moved into the options menu. Support button are changed into community in the pause menu which will lead to patreon and discord.

The intro is a lot quicker now, no lore is drop is removed. The player will have to explore the lore and to understand what's going on by talking to NPC's.

Alchemist

I'm adding a new NPC an alchemist which will have scenes in future updates. I'm keeping him mysterious because his event needs it to be that way.

Wench & Dance

I'm changing the entire wench event, instead of walking to 7 tables Victoria will experience 3 or 4 events then the job automatically ends. The outfits and most of the events in the game will still be there but it will feel less repetitive it will also make it easier for me to add new events.

Dancing will get a few new events as well. I will also audit the event pages for dancing to find where exactly the outfit lockout can happen.

Common event, event pages, switches and variable audit

I have created a tool that audits all the files in the game. I'm using it to clean up unused variables switches. I found a few scenes that could never be reached. Paypig black club, second plant scene, thong only wench are the three that stood out the most.
