Hello my MODDERS, MODIFIERS and MODULATORS!!
It's time to announce the release date for the 0.8.0 - Growth Content update, as well as some additional update stuff.
The update will be released TOMORROW (March 4th)!!
I'm currently adding all the VFXs and audio, so hopefully it should be almost done.
I normally try to do these polishing notices a bit earlier, but--
Uh oh, stuff broke
So since last Sunday, I had to redo a big chunk of code of the dialogue system.
The issue was caused by me trying to do a bunch of fancy things with the dialogue I hadn't done before, being that the most breaking one was having some line randomness.For example, on Growth-5, when talking with Mia there are 2 possible conversations, rather than it always being the same one.
While it worked when I was making it, I realized that this randomness caused issues like the game not knowing where to place the VA lines.It also broke a bunch of my python utility scripts, for stuff like exporting it to a readable format for Miera to record.
It's all working now, but that's the reason why I wasn't able to announce a definitive release date sooner, since I wasn't sure how broken it actually was.
Additionally, I also implemented a new debug feature--
New Debug Window
On the last status update, I showed that whenever a error occurred in game, the player could now see it and copy it, so it would be easier to report problems.
After posting that update, and doing some thinking, I realized that a lot of reported issues are not normally "fatal errors", and instead some weird bug/lag that does not make the game unplayable.And if there was no crashes, the console would have no error to show, so we'd be back to square one.
So now, besides the error window, there's also a debug window!!
If the player is experiencing issues, they can enable this window, copy the values, and send it.
Both this debug window and the error console can be toggled in the settings.
That's it for now!
Thank you all for your continued support!!I'll go back to the dungeon to finish this up!!
