Patreon Build: Gamer Struggles 0.1.8.3

Hello! So sorry for the misestimation in the last dev log you guys, stuff happened and we had to spend bunch of time debugging. Predicting the time of release is always tricky in game development and sometimes (always), things don't go according to the plan >.<

So don't assume we've been slacking off. For reference, this is what our 'Done' column on Trello looks like. Wish there was an easy way to view the exact count of tickets in a section, but either way, I think it's safe to say there is a lot >:P

With that out of the way, let's jump into reviewing the major changes yeahhh!!!

Art

New CG's

Disclaimer: A proper hyena enemy is not yet in the game, but you can still trigger a sex CG by finding a special NPC in the slum area

Elevator scene finished!

Sex portraits

Added sex portraits for Bibi and Conductor

New sex animations

Bibi's sex animation has been upscaled.

If two conductors enter sex with the player, a group animation starts. More enemies will receive group sex feature in the future!

New gallery layout

And once again, a new gallery design. Better layout of the elements, calmer color theme and a feature to change the environment!

New area showcase

I don't think she is supposed to run around here.

Train depot, continue left from the train station to reach it.

Down we go

• Heavy attack

• Air attack

• Throws

• Enemy block/counter-attack

• Domino effect

• Hit-Stop effect

• Combo meter

Fighting fighting

You can now see the exact amount of damage you deal with the damage number pop-ups!

Parry marking

Fill the combo bar by hitting enemies and not get hit! The higher grade you reach the more exp you receive from the defeated enemies.

Platforming improvements

Variable jump height

Momentum retention

Full controller support

Everything from combat to menus can now be fully played on a controller. Controller vibration now supported. If you play on mobile and connect a controller, mobile control UI will hide.

Better mobile UI

Misc

Dialogue system migration

We're now using Dialogue System For Unity, also used by Disco Elysium among others. Cool features include a quest system, localization and a node based editor.

Before

After

Pretty print animations

Redesigned CG UI, now with an option to toggle the dialogue box, in case you want to see the full illustration!

Replacing old event triggers

Replaced all the old event triggers with new ones from city area.

Buttplug integration

Yep...

Dialogue system migration

Upgraded our editor to Unity 6 version!

Creating a style guide

Xian has created a code style guide for the project. A purely internal change but a step forward nonetheless.
