Hello! First update of June!
Here's a little devlog about the changes.
It may not look much, but I'm dedicating lots of time to the Japanese Version: the transcribing process is almost done, and for now I started the testing on my own. I'm also in contact with the Spanish translator, AlexielLucifen, and we're discussing some needed changes to adapt the text. He's doing a great work, I can't wait for you to see!
What's in this update
- I patched the Star Puzzle once again. It doesn't look that different visually speaking, but now the hover, selection and idle buttons work as intended and it should be easier to navigate. If this version still gives the players headaches though I'll consider scrapping it and changing it completely into something basic like a torch puzzle. I'm really sorry that the puzzle caused so many problems so far, that's on me and on my limited coding skills.
- I observed a fantastic bug in a gameplay, it's absurdly difficult to replicate but I finally managed to and I fixed it. This bug caused the game to load the wrong sprites for Leon, transforming it into into adjacent images. Now it shouldn't be happening anymore.
- Minor tweaks to the collisions of objects to the maps have been made. Also, the bed puzzle in the infirmary has been made clearer: the right bed to inspect is the only one without wasp nests now and it's more visible than before.
- Another extra medal has been removed. This will prevent getting 21 again and softlocking the End Credits before reaching the Bonus Room.
What's next
I really hope I won't have to redo again the star puzzle, but if necessary that will be the top priority.
Now, while I work on the translation, I'll note down all feedback about version 1.5. If it doesn't have particular problems I can start working on the extra CGs! I also neglected working on Deep Inside because of the launch of Emerald Wasp, so I'll reprise the quality of life adjustments on that game too... I have lots of stuff cooking ahah!
Thank you for reading so far! And thank you for playing Emerald Wasp!
