Version 0.21 Bug Fixes and Android Mobile version
>>Fixed a check that was skipped regarding whether Amelia was asleep or not. Before if Amelia got depressed inside bunny girl, Amelia would still be set to sleeping = true after the depressed state ended with no check to say she isn't sleeping. Ran into this issue after the fix and have no idea where it is for now (could very well be fixed, but something about save/load undid it). Because of how detrimental this can be, I just added a force stop to this where if Amelia has 0 hours awake for more than 5 hours, it will force her to not be asleep. This caused other checks to fail like the following:
-~Consensual Predator will not offer freedom if Amelia is sleeping. She will wait until Amelia is awake before asking.
-~Amelia would passively regenerate energy every hour since the game thought she was sleeping.
-~Sleep would not be available as an option because the hours Amelia is awake would not count up. I believe it made it impossible for Amelia to not be in the sleeping state once this occurred.
>>Added missing check to 'Feeding Self' with bear. When Amelia is 'Feeding Self' to bear while bunny girl is prey, a check was forgotten and wouldn't transition properly. New check tested and appears to be working now.
>>Added new check to determine if Amelia is currently a consensual predator's prey. This should stop consensual predator from escaping apex predator while Amelia is her prey which was causing many issues.
>>Adjusted some checks regarding Amelia's escape from a consensual predator. Some were kind of obvious blunders on my part, though this is a very tricky menu to get right. My hope is it's good to go but there may still be a scenario or two that may softlock. It needs to be just right since a different consensual predator added in the future may have different behaviours that change the options available, so I can't just have it work one way with bunny girl then later on have that specific use case cause issues for another. Hopefully it's good to go, but save before clicking the Attempt Escape button just incase!
->The game decides whether Amelia has the option to Agree or Give Up, both are not options to be allowed at the same time. Give up button will now always be clickable if the game determines that Agree button should not be available. Before Give Up had a chance to show up but not be clickable. So even if it's a scenario where giving up doesn't make sense, it should still reset everything and have Amelia as a consensual predator's prey and hopefully avoid a softlock.
>>During consensual predator escape while eaten by apex predator along with Amelia, new checks added to make sure Amelia has been eaten by consensual predator before in order to ask to stay or force feed. Cap on relationship gain from embrace set to 3.
->Before it was possible to stay up late, then sleep and have consensual predator stick around longer. This is still possible, but interactions with consensual predator will be limited until met outside. It's also still possible to get relationship to max value by timing sleep like this, but it will take pretty long and still not change much. This is required to help with some of the dialogue, I don't want to add the possibility for this and all future consensual predators that consensual predator can eat Amelia for the first time inside of apex predator as I feel it's a bit excessive. This will be a common rule nearly all consensual predators will follow, though if one ends up being an exception I can circumvent it for very specific situations.
>>Hard to record all the fixes, but I played the game selecting many different options until day 25 before I finally had a full run with no issues. Honestly way more issues than I thought there were, I thought I did thorough testing but apparently not. I'm okay with some playtesting from players, but after spending a whole day on this I feel I rushed a release too soon yet again. The game still has many possible ways it can go wrong, which I hope are very minimal or possibly gone for now, but if not the next thing should cover all other problems.
>>Simple Load is now a button available on the load screen. Before it was a fallback option should save files between versions be incompatible, but now it can be done to soft reset a file without losing major progress. If you do encounter some game-breaking issue like not being able to encounter consensual or apex predators on the map, you load into a game with all buttons greyed out, or other major issue, you can Simple Load your file which lets Amelia start outside with all checks reset while keeping things like relationship, predator mastery, vigor and technique.
->note for bunny girl: Someone has to move in order to reveal nearby predators. Although bunny girl is normally within sight of the starting space, if you Simple Load and load in nearby that doesn't count as moving. Move forward one space assuming you already met bunny girl at some point in your current save file to reveal her.
>>Added missing reference to Main Menu. It's a easy to forget thing for me, but without all references, the loading screen on the Main Menu will fail to open as a null reference exception if it is attempting to use this missing reference. It's still possible to start new game and then load your file as normal. I will make a note/checklist about checking that all references are available when doing final testing that should hopefully not have this happen again.
other things:
>>Increased the diary entry area by 50%.
>>Added mobile apk file. Instructions and download link on how to install this will be on my main forum post at https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=66124.
