This'll be the penultimate update for chapter 7 of Light of my Life I hope. After this, it's the Steam version, and when that goes up I'll probably push out a final version where I strip out the scene wheedling for adding it to the wish list there.
All in all, nothing major fixed, but I upgraded the ren'py version of PC/Linux and Mac as well.
Changelog:
- Updated to ren'py 8.1.1 for all versions, hopefully bringing some performance improvements on low spec systems for all platforms. It does mean 32bit support is now well and truly out.
- Added a new image to the main menu image carousel that unlocks at chapter 7.
- Revised the main menu image carousel so it doesn't try to predict every unlocked set of images into cache at once anymore, which was causing stalls.
- Updated the final big scene to have a regular and a streamlined version (with the player being offered the choice at the start of that scene) (*)
- Another batch of typos, fixed some continuity issues that no one noticed yet, and added a few lines of dialog to a certain couch talk in chapter 6.

*) Streamlined basically cuts some of the introduction dialog and hotwires a bunch of menu options to skip the little tangents and asides, offering players that felt all the talk was throwing the pacing off a better experience, while keeping the original version intact for those like me that preferred the relaxed intimacy of the slower-paced one. It's still far from a short scene though.
