Developer Update #115

Added 2024-05-05 19:09:21 +0000 UTC

Hello all,

How is everyone's week going? Here's the progress spreadsheet:

Still working on the Louise / Danielle scenes. A lot of animations have been created (and completed) currently working on rendering those at the moment before I continue with the static images.

I want to spend a moment and break down what the different versions of Dreams of Reality update 0.4.8 will be. The previous update 0.4.5 was split into 3 distinct versions. There was the standard full quality version, and ~70% quality version and then a significantly reduced version.

I will be doing the same again this time. Currently the total size stands around 10.7Gb. I expect this to push closer to 11Gb when the remainder of the images and animations are added.

Change log 0.4.8:

Game updated to version 0.4.8
Danielle's assumption of a relationship with the MC when on a solo Louise path has been corrected.
Corrected the textbox displaying at the start of v0.4.5.
You can now skip the Drink mini-game if you have completed it once already.
Occasional dialogue issue with agreeing to a relationship with Danielle but going on a date with Cindy has been corrected.
Too many relationship points being given if you 'don't look' during the pool event has been corrected.
You are now able to skip the text during the first chapter 4 free roam.
Gallery code refactored, persistent variables for unlocks has changed. I have created a temporary patch to export them to the new variables.
The persistent variable patch will be removed in 0.5.0!
Ch1 code has been refactored (1200 lines removed).
Some long standing errors in ch1 have been found and removed.
Transitions have been added, Ch1 is done. Other chapters will follow.
Fixed Lemonade images being named Soda.
Fixed logic issue with variables 'cl' and 'shoot'.
Locking in the li route with Kimiko has been fixed (a fix is applied at the start of 0.4.8).
Updated to Ren'Py version 7.6.3, which broke the bonus codes. So I've fixed that. Thanks Tom -.-
Moved the achievement for completing ch3 to the end of ch3 instead of the end of the first update.
Bug with some bonus image unlocks counting more than once towards total number unlocked achievement has been corrected.
Bug with Cassie's bonus images not unlocking due to an idiot dev, has been corrected.
As above, this time with some of Melissa's images.
