Hello everyone, it's been a while, huh? Maybe not but writing a devlog feels like it's been ages to me. I was meant to post Patrice tomorrow buttttt it's been 45 days since the last public release, who cares if we do it one day earlier and there are things I want to discuss.
I'm officially back on the grind and, while making this devlog, I already got 40% of Dylan 4 in? It's a really good pace so I'm expecting things to work out fine and have an Itch release by the end of this month.
Patrice 4 is... damn, I don't remember how long it is. You knoow what? We'll just copy what I wrote on Patreon months ago, looks accurate enough. Oh, I was in Spain at that point. I do remember editing on my laptop in a hotel room lmao.
Patrice 4 contains 17k words worth of content, most of it is unique, barely anything for you to skim through. One new CG, new BGs, and a small QoL update. We increased the maximum number of save slots from 11 pages to 49 pages. I don't think you'll need more, but hey if someone comes asking I won't mind adding more lmao.
Patrice 4 reading guide for second\third timers
---------- the only repeated scenes are the full group gathering at night and Ryan driving Joel home. Barely a 10%.
But there is something new here that wasn't available in the Patreon version and it was something we discussed in the Q&A, that I would've loved to make but without a coder there was no chance for me to do that. Well, good news is we did get help and we got it done pretty fast. So fast I couldn't even discuss it in the next month's devlog lmao.
Anyway---- Liam's notebook from N3 is now an actual in game item you can use.
Read this part because it's important for both new and old players. The game can't recognize if you reached any N3 before this update so, when you boot up the game, you'll see "???" instead of the handbook section. You'll have to quickly skip to the moment Liam hands it to you. Ofc you unlock it once and it's over, it'll stay there. You can find bonus info, reminders and all the keywords I thought were important to remember. If you want more words added do let me know. Thank you MysticExile for working on this small feature on such a short notice!
There is more to this handbook, but why would I spoil you everything? Go open it yourself.
See you guys next month for Dylan 4 public version!
