#Alpha #Updates
This update has been spent mostly learning how to... actually work the Renpy engine! Lots of tweaking on the back end and over-all improvements.
I also got a little stumped with the last section of this update so I wrote in a little secret scene to try and get rid of the writing block but... Yeah, I'll just fix it later.
Next update I'm aiming for the end of May so I can hopefully make it a lot bigger. Day 2 is definitely NOT going to be split into 6 different parts.
New in this Update
- Kienan has a sprite update!!! I wanted to see how the temporary sprites would look edited but... eh, new ones are definitely in order. I'll probably only do fresh sprites for the main 20~ish reoccurring characters.
- New textbox! Tell me if it looks ok~
- The game's first ever secret! OooOooOo
- Definitely unrelated to the above thing, there's now a choice menu in the game! (Only a single choice that comes later in the game will alter the story in any way)
- 5 new characters! (There's going to be a lot of characters and I am regretting it a little)
- Added side images to make it more clear who's talking! Only 9 so far~ A little tip is that the color of the character name matches their eye color!
Next Update
- Day 2, give it up for Siku mbili
- New location(s), potentially new characters?
- New CGs and side icons
