Version 0.2.0 Released!

It's Humpday, my fellow coworkers! And what better way to celebrate than a new release!?

Before you get yourselves too excited, know that Version 0.2.0 is a continuation of the system's updates of Version 0.1.9; lots of boring (and I mean boring), behind the scenes work that must be done before I move further into Chapter 2, along with systems that are for Chapter 3, but see key events trigger during Chapter 2. 

My goal, as was with Version 0.1.9, is to put in place enough structure that future versions don't require complete restarts. Did I succeed in that? I'd like to think so, but let's be honest; as the scope of Chapter 3 comes into focus, I'm updating more variables and structure that will be necessary to support it. It's not even project creep at this point; it's simply factors that I wasn't thinking through. 

So, again, I will do my best NOT to require more restarts, but failing that, will continue to update the Chapter Skip Feature (such as in this update) so that you can at least make some base decisions and move a little further into the story if you have to restart. 

All that said: Previous Saves will not work correctly with Version 0.2.0 and definitely will not work correctly with Chapter 3 if you retain these saves. It is highly recommended to start from the beginning. 

The update notes won't look as robust as Version 0.1.9, but hey, there was a lot of low hanging fruit; Version 0.2.0 got stuck with a whole bunch of necessary but lowkey changes, to include an entire 200+ passage review for CSS changes. 

MAJOR UPDATES

• The Pregnancy System (save for a few generated images) is complete for Chapter 2
• CSS Passage adjustments for all 200+ Passages
• Growing Corruption Aesthetic Changes
• Re-writing of the entire Temperament System (along with new Pop-Up Pages)
• Chapter Skip now jumps all the way to Beginning of Chapter 2!
• And more!

As has always been the case, thank you to those who help me review the game; it makes it so much easier on me when I have a list of bugs ready to tackle versus having to go out and find them! Special credit to justhereforhelp on the Chapter Skip and Gambit2018 for your continued, detailed review!

THE NITTY GRITTY

• Pregnancy System Updates
  • All Passages Required for Chapter Two are implemented
    • Some remaining images to be included later
  • WAP System Fully Integrated
  • New Variables / Arrays for Chapter 2/3 Progeny Development
• Corruption Updates
  • New Aesthetic Changes; as your corruption grows, you'll notice some variations...
• Temperament System
  • Older system used +/- 1's and was not flexible for future growth
  • Re-Jigged to 0-90 rating system with gains or losses moving you along the board
  • New Temperament Pop-Up Passage to give more insight on your current 'ranking'
  • Temperament is important to Chapter 3, as it will (literally) define your character!
• Chapter Skip Updates
  • Moved this to the Beginning of Chapter 2 (First Changes)
    • 80+ Passage Skip
  • Added missing variables and functionality, while removing some choices that could be streamlined
    • Please let me know your thoughts; would you rather make LOTS of choices with the Chapter Skip, or just the critical ones and jump back in, even if it means more 'standardization' for things like Corruption/Initial Transformation/etc
• Passage Re-Write
  • Not so much a feature you'll be excited about, but to support the images and absolute/container systems being implemented for Pop-Up systems, the CSS needed adjusting on every. single. passage. 
• Lactation System
  • Variables and Structure put in place
  • Artist Commissioned for Pop-Up System Imagery (very excited about this one)
• Massive number of minor updates to syntax/copy as I went through every. single. passage. (did I tell you I went through every single passage yet?)

Version 0.2.1, 'The Rapid Regenerative Lab' is in the works (and you may actually see the first couple of passages have had some minor updates/additions). Some of Version 0.2.0 got squished out to make my 4 Week timeframe, so images will be the number one factor to release going forward; there's plenty of story already to tell!
