Remastered Update for November

Added 2021-11-01 16:01:04 +0000 UTC

Released an update for the template edition on itch.io. The game plan is to release at least one of these a month until it is completed. I'm hoping to do at least 2 a month, but the inevitable distractions, especially with the upcoming holidays, means I can't guarantee 2.

The original template had 10 new pictures, the new release 0.11 has 93, with only 1,034 to go.

Build notes for the latest version:

New Content:

Added a theme song that plays on launch.
Added a new introduction opening explaining how the date came about, and why your character brings a swimsuit on the date.

Changes:

Changed the music, got rid of country and cowboy hats, for "hip-hop", 4 new songs. "Rock" is now the goofy one.
Fast dances (Rock and Hip Hop) are now animated, but not in a smooth way, just to demonstrate dancing action

Updated Renders:

Pre-dinner couch pictures are all done, some of these are seen post dinner.
Livingroom dance pictures are done, both pre and post dinner

I've been deleting, changing and rearranging data in the game, making a simple update patch impractical. Just download the full game if you want to test it.

Upcoming focus: Low hanging fruit. There are several foreground images of Ariane that get used in different locations and different backgrounds. Also a focus on kitchen and living room pre-dinner images, pizza and steak dinners (since they take place in the house) then post dinner images like the couch make out scene.

The order I am working on these is based on "sets". Right now I have the living room and kitchen set done, so I am doing all the images associated with that set. Next I'll build another set (backyard? park? store?) and do all the images in that location.
