Working toward release version, p2

Blooming Nightshade
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Demo v5 is now available to download! This version includes a lot of tweaks that have been worked on since the last build. A lot of the changes were mentioned in the previous devlog, but here are some new changes since then:

  • The PC/Mac version of the game now displays at 800x600 instead of 400x600. This may still need some tweaking, but it should fix a few positioning errors on PC and make it easier to read the text.
  • BGM has been added to most of the game. Some of it may need to be double-checked for relevance to the scenes in question, but every playable scene should have some music playing now.
  • A few minor tweaks to visuals (save icon placement, etc.)
  • (Hopefully) the final fix to odd week number behavior. I think I mentioned this last time, but it started acting up again. So I fixed it yet again.

I didn't test this build as heavily as the last one, so let me know if any strange issues or bugs arise. I'm particularly interested in whether the different aspect ratios between desktop and mobile versions works as intended. It seemed to work fine in my tests, but I don't have a wide enough range of devices to test every possibility.

At any rate, I hope people continue to enjoy the game! With luck, the next version should be the "release" version, with character art included.
