Dev Log #4

This is a bit late, since it's technically a new day for me, but I was working vehemently and lost track of time. So, what have I been up to? Oh yeah, that's right! Lore!

Lore Menu

Since my last dev log, I've been hard at work putting together this awesome lore menu for you guys. Today I finally finished it! Here's some of the features I've implemented for it.

• UI that matches the reworked profiles menu, including subtle and smooth animations.

• An unlock system for discovering new lore. Lore discoveries persist between saves just like other unlockables.

• Unlock notifications for lore entries (if you have the option toggle in preferences).

• Icons to indicate categories that have new entries and what the new entries are (there's also an option to toggle these.)

All lore will be available based on what the MC knows. So everything available initially will be things that he is aware of. I will refrain from adding unlockable lore for Ch. 1 so nobody has to go back just to unlock things.

Other UI Changes

Some slight tweaks were made to the preferences/options menu in order to make it easier to use on smaller Android devices. For those who didn't know, a very rough version of Ch. 1 was released for Android users. It's not pretty, but it functions.

I'll be slowly tweaking things throughout the development of Ch. 2 in order to have a better Android build moving forward.

I've also changed some of the images that were just text into text strings for translations. Things like the content warnings, chapter section titles, etc. are all translatable text strings now.

Ch. 2 Progress

I won't lie, not much progress has been made on the actual content of Ch. 2 since the last dev log. I had to code a bunch of new things to get the lore system working how I wanted it to, and adjust code in other places. There's also the fact that all of the lore implemented so far adds up to quite a few thousand words.

Buuuuttt, that's all done now! All of my effort going forward will be into advancing the story of Ch. 2 and I can't wait for you all to experience what comes next!

Anyways, that's about all I've got for you guys at the moment. The next dev log should be much more exciting than this one! As usual, I hope everyone is happy, healthy, and living their best life!
