Devlog 10/18/24 💻✨ + Chapter 6 release 🎉

IS IT TIME? IS IT FINALLY HERE? Yes, my lovely patrons, at long last it has been completed. BEHOLD, chapter 6 is now on Itch.

You can play now here!

And these are this chapter's tags:

I hope you have a fun time playing & thank you for your support and encouragement while I was working (and struggling) on this chapter, it really kept me going :3

And I'm SO RELIVED this chapter is finally done, and also very sorry this one took me forever. I do love this chapter, just because I'm a sucker for romance and angst, but there are some things I wish I could've done better, too.

I don't currently have access to my drawing tablet (accidentally uncovered a huge hole in my wall hidden behind some wallpaper and have to stay out of there due to my bad lungs), but I did draw how I'm currently feeling with a mouse:

Please give me some cute, fun ideas for the next bonus chapter because I need a break :p

⚠️ Spoilers below! ⚠️ 

New Addition 1: The rest of it

Finishing a chapter up is really the hardest part because I have to comb through the script and make sure all the animations are triggering at the correct time with the correct layers active/inactive, have to spell and grammar check (thank you so much to the people who offered to beta read, but ya'll know I'm too much of a control freak + I'd feel bad + I don't know, I have complicated and not really logical feelings about it), and have to draw extra sprites for things I forgot to add before.

For instance, I forgot to draw Theo shirtless:

Also, there were SO MANY BUGS that I had to fix this time around and uhh, there might still be a clothing bug that you encounter. But hopefully not because I think I fixed it.

Quality of life updates based on suggestions from previous devlogs 🙌:

• I've made it so that, once you've played through a bonus chapter, you don't have to enter the password for that bonus chapter again. This has been added, but please note that you have to play the bonus chapter to the end for it to save, even if the bonus chapter has a green checkmark on it (sorry, this was just the easiest way for me to code it) 👍

• In chapters where the player wears an entirely new outfit that the player did not pick out (this doesn't include them getting naked) there is now a note that appears on the dress-up screen.

   I have also removed the cancel button from all dress up screens other than the one on the start screen because it didn't really make sense & was also creating some weird bugs.

Alright, I think that's about all for now. If you catch any major bugs or spelling errors, please do let me know if you feel inclined to :D

Have a super wonderful weekend everyone, I will be hopefully napping through most of it 🌈
