Saturday Pics | November 2024 V (Technical News!!! ๐ ๏ธโ๏ธ)
Added 2024-11-30 23:58:00 +0000 UTCHello people!!! Today, some Technical News is coming! Let's start!
1) A new language is coming!!! Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 2 will be translated into Traditional Chinese! ๐ฅณ (With this translation, Season 2 will have Simplified and Traditional Chinese available.) * This only applies for Season 2, Season 1 will not be translated to the new language *
2) I've made some improvements to S.O.P.H.I.E. (For all the new people, SOPHIE is a translation program that I've developed, and I keep improving). All the translations will improve, especially the less common languages. (Or at least I expect that ๐ ) But S2E1 won't be re-translated, so expect this upgrade and refined translations for S2E2 and future episodes. ๐
3) 7 new original songs were added to the music player!!! ๐ต๐ธ I already sent them this week to Spotify, and if they approve them, in 1 or maybe 2 weeks they will be available. (It's some club music, so expect some bangers! ๐ธ๐ฅณ)
4) The Main Menu translated into Traditional Chinese.
5) Random gameplay scene in Traditional Chinese.
To have Season 2 Episode 2 ready, I need to do 2 events. One of those is at 50%, the other one is at 0%, and it's a very big event. This week, I will finish the first event, and then I only have to focus 100% on the final one; since a lot of animations are being created, I'm using that time to already start testing the translations and what's done so far, that way I can accelerate a little the process. ๐คฉ
Aside from this, I also have amazing news: I finally have broadband internet! ๐คฉ All the releases are very stressful, and in my case, it was even more stressful because I had to drive 1 hour to a place to upload and then drive 1 hour back home. And in case any bug appear on the release day, it was super stressful because I can't react quickly, I had to do the changes and after that drive one more hour to make the upload. But finally, there is Broadband in my area! ๐คฉ This is huge for me and generates less stress on the release day. (That is one of the reasons why I always did a lot of tests before a release, trying to always upload a bugless release. I will keep doing this, but in case a bug appears now, I can react quickly to solve it) ๐๐๐
I wish everyone an amazing weekend! ๐บ๐ป๐บ

Hello Patrick! ๐ In general, do you find the UI understandable?

2024-12-02 05:51:32 +0000 UTCThanks a lot ๐นPaul! Yes, especially this update, which will include many new things and a ton of new coding added to it, which increases the possibilities of bugs but also adds more new cool stuff to IoM for now and the future. ๐ ๐ The relief will be big once launched... ๐๐ Thanks ๐นPaul!!!

2024-12-01 19:45:04 +0000 UTCWork at a comfy pace, Marci! As excited as you are to get the new ep out (and excited as we patrons are to dive right in), if needing and taking an extra day or 2, to test all scenarios vigorously, leads to a better, much more satisfying end result, PLUS a lot less stress on release day! Broadband internet is a big plus, but in the here and now, Renpy can be an unforgiving beast at times - so I've heard. I'm sure you'll feel a lot relief, come release time, we all will. In fact, by the look of it, the word RELIEF may take on a whole different meaning for you!! ... Wait .... I'm experiencing deja v-- what?! Where have I heard that before?? ๐๐ Thanks again for the update my friend!! ๐น
