Alrighty, so it's certainly been a crazy few days, haha. DD had hardly any views/downloads since the jam ended at Christmas, but after Manly's video went up, that changed pretty quickly, haha. I just want to say a huuuuge thank you to everyone who has checked out the game! Your support really means a lot to me :3 Whether it be donations to help with further development, feedback to help improve the game, or just a few kind words in a comment, it all means the world to me and I can't thank you guys enough for everything. I'm super excited to continue creating this game. I really hope you'll enjoy hearing more from Castor/ia and all the other characters that are still to come further down the line :D
As for this update, it's not exactly the most exciting one in the world, but I've managed to create some much nicer-looking UI alongside tweaking the text box padding a little + other little tweaks and bug fixes here and there. With any luck, I didn't manage to break anything in the process, haha. I did set the resolution to 16:9 only because I think that's what was causing some of the text box issues. I'm going to have to look into how to make the UI properly scalable in order to support other resolutions.
Please note, the only versions I've updated are the full versions. I didn't update the safe versions since they were made just to fit the rules of the jam. As the game is updated, it will only be the full version that receives updates (unless anyone really happens to have a preference for the safe version, but that one will be missing a lot of content.)
Also, as always, I have no idea if the Mac or Linux versions work since I only have Windows available to test on. If you have issues with Mac, you can try some of the stuff in this post.
So that's it for this update! When the game is eventually complete, it will feature an extras section with things like a music box, but in the meantime, I'm going to see if I can upload a separate downloadable music box tomorrow for anyone who wants to listen to the current soundtrack :3
Thanks so much again for the support + I hope you have an awesome weekend!
