Changelog: Pearlglow Cafe 1.2.1 - So Many Fixes
(Mostly Accurate) List of changes made to PGC as of the 1.2.1 update:
- Corrected typos and other grammar thingies - lots of them!
- Added accent marks to crème brûlée... (mainly I was just lazy before @_@)
- Replaced -- with — (another area I was lazy about)
- I am looking to improve my workflow going forward to lessen this issue in the future, because I know it is a recurring problem... :(
- ...I'll also probably look at hiring an editor and/or working with beta readers for future projects
- Lots of assorted audio shenanigans:
- Fixed a few sound effects that failed to play: thunder on Day 4 and Cake Splat on Day 2 being the most prominent (apparently, Ren'Py does not approve of .wav sometimes?? Idk, lesson for the future: .mp3s or .oggs henceforth)
- Adjusted volume of all SFX/music
- Sprinkled more SFX around + adjusted where BGM came in / out throughout the game (it was rather haphazard before...)
- Fixed the bug where Day 2 onwards, the cookbook did not require a selected recipe in order to proceed
- The gallery was a little bit broken. Now it is fixed! Hooray for no more spoilers as soon as you open the game!
- Did some Writing Stuff™:
- Rewrote a few lines here and there (don't ask me where)
- Added a short little intro scene before Day1 kicks off - a letter from Juniper's mom!
- initially, this was a video, but I have yet to figure out how to get videos to play in Ren'Py :')
- Expanded Aspen's ending scene
- Added more cut in graphics to reflect things being given / received throughout the story (mainly Day 3)!
- You can now see a browning banana peel, how exciting!
- Also, some seaweed, a peach, and mushrooms! Whoa!
- Improved scene dynamism all throughout script!
- More frequent sprite expression changes
- More camera movement
- Better sprite positioning
- Adjusted some matrix tints on a few different night scenes
- Corrected an issue where Aspen would appear on Day 4 regardless of choices (...I think)
- Fixed issues where the quick menu (the options part of the textbox) was appearing in areas it shouldn't have (mainly NVL and CG moments)
- ADDED WAIT TAGS LIKE CRAZY ALL OVER THE PLACE BECAUSE YOU CAN PRY MY ELLIPSES AND EM DASHES FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS
- Fixed pronouns and gendered language in a few areas for Aspen (resident mystery person)
I think that about covers it!
Still a teensy bit more I'd like to polish up and will (maybe, possibly, someday, eventually) get to, but after this update, I feel good about where things stand as a jam game (at the very least, I think I have worked out most of the weirdness that comes with rushed production *sobsob*).
I am still undecided on releasing more content for the game, so I am going to take a bit of a creative break to ruminate and focus on some other things (like triathlon training!).
Ever onward!
