Limits [v1.12.1] [Drakes]

So, what’s new in this build?
It’s time to return back to work as a dishwasher at Dave’s Diner. Unless…?
And not to mention, the mysterious ‘Stag person’ (that you may meet through certain choices…) finally has his own sprite! And what a hunk he is!
Note: He does not appear in Dave’s day 2 so if you’re looking for him, I’ll give you a hint. (Markus!)
And if you already haven’t noticed, I did some work on the UI side of the VN. Moved some things here and there as well as adding a new name box! Let me know what you think. (Be gentle.. > )

The music gallery has also been implemented into the VN! The design is pretty rudimentary but I’m fairly happy with it! And the best of all, it works!
Pssst, I even made some basic tunes myself!

So, what’s in store of Gran’s day 2?
Well, remember when he mentioned that he’d take you to his gym?
I want to say more, but at the same time, I don’t want to spoil the surprise too much.

Besides that, I did some cleaning and updating some older graphics to make every sprite look a little more consistent. For instance, the shading on some of the character’s clothing are ‘softer’ than the usual hard cel-shading.

I did some updating here and there as well for Pierre’s day 1, though, as it’s not fully done, they won’t show up in the game. But if you dig deeper into the game’s folder, you can see some ‘unreleased’ contents. Not recommended if you don’t like spoiling yourself

Fixes and Changes:

• Proofread the whole VN, thanks @GruntSteel
• Roderick day 1
• New Quickstart Menu
• Improvement on the Gallery.
• New Music Player.

Fixes and Changes:

• Did some fixing for the pacing of the story as well as tenses and grammar.
• Changed how side images behave.
• Fixed some errors.
• Gallery re-haul.

Fixes and Changes:

• Some more proofreading in the back…
• All character’s expressions should have a blink animation.
• Nerfed Gran’s abs. lol
• The textboxes for mobile users should work correctly now.
• Increased time between each blink… haha

New Updates:

• Norman’s first day!
• Character Sprites now blink! (Should be for all characters!)
• New Gallery menu.
• The reveal of a couple of new side characters!
• More dialogues.

Fixes and Changes:

• A fair bit of proofreading and help thanks to @GruntSteel, shin and Everyone else who’ve submitted feedback response!
• Changing the fonts should work correctly as intended now. (It won’t stay highlighted as before.)
• Quick menu now has its own transition.

New Updates:

• Dave’s first day!
• Character Sprites now blink! (Only for the most frequently used expression as of now… Eventually, I’ll get to all of them.)
• Animated screens such as the ‘Character Select Screen!’
• New Animated main menu theme and layout! (You’ll be able to access the legacy main menu screens later down in the Gallery once I implemented them in…)
• New character sprites for Dr. Sean, and Damon! As well as new support characters that have yet to be revealed in the story…
• More dialogues.

Fixes and Changes:

• A fair bit of proofreading and help thanks to @GruntSteel!
• Changing the font should now only apply to in-game dialogues. The menu might look glitched but press either option once and it should changes. Not entirely sure how to make it so that it doesn’t highlight both…

New Updates:

• Gran’s first day!
• New simple day HUD.
• More dialogues.

Fixes and Changes:

• A fair bit of proofreading….
• Norman’s CG is coloured now. Thanks to Shin. ^^

New Updates:

• Introduction to a new side character with assets . (I wonder…?)
• The last day before choosing routes.
• New CGs.
• New main menu themes!
• Added a couple new SFX
• More dialogues.

The main focus of this build will be the nature of the orbs and what they’re capable of.
I’m also introducing the last RO candidate in this build… Guess who it is!
Jacob’s and Steve’s character sprite have also been implemented ^^.

Fixes and Changes:

• A fair bit of proofreading….
• Norman’s CG should have the correct description now.

New Updates:

• Introduction to a new character. (With Assets!)
• You get to spend more time with the Pierre and the new character, and Gran has returned!
• New Splashscreens (There are 4 variants now.)
• A new CG.
• A new main menu theme. (1/3 chance to appear.)
• Added New musics, more sfxs and BGs.
• More dialogues.

I’ve re-hauled Gran’s sprite to make him look less ‘goofy’ and more Mature. (also fixed his lineart and his stubby arm lol) ^^’. I re-drew Dave’s assets from scratch as well but he should still look the same, just more cleaner. The reason that I redid his was because I wanted to organise the way the files are saved to save me from future changes such as new clothes and/or accessories. I realised that I had to re-do it after I was done with Norman’s, because he was the first character whose draft files are actually organised ^^’.

I’m also introducing a new character in this build… Play the build to find out.

Other than that, I’ve also tuned up some of the animations, added SFXs, new musics and BGS. You know, the usual.

As for the story… I think it’s better if you find out yourself, no?

Fixes and Changes:

• A re-haul of Gran’s Assets.
• Dave’s assets have been re-done. He still looks the same, just cleaner.
• Tuned up some of the animations to make it look less clunky as well as adding some new ones.
• Cinematic black bars for some of the scenes.
• A fair bit of proofreading….
• Somehow overlooked this but Sally has a tail now! ^^’

New Updates:

• Introduction to a new character. (With Assets!)
• You get to spend more time with the Chief himself and the new character.
• Updated the splash screens with a newer version as well as added another one. (There are 3 variants now.)

• A new main menu theme. (50/50 chance to either show the old one or the new one at launch.)
• Added New musics, more sfxs and BGs.
• More dialogues.
• There’s now a limit to the characters when entering your name. Entering more than the limit will automatically assign your name to something else. (I dare you.)

Fixes and Changes:

• Animations looks a lot more smoother now! (I think anyways. I’ve noticed that fast forwarding will mess up some of the visuals, can’t really do much about that though.)
• Fixed the issue where selecting a different menu after changing your mind about getting the same order as Gran’s would still lead to the “Get what Gran is getting” dialogues
• Equalised the volume of the rain so that it’s not overpowering the other SFX.
• Increased the font size for the Android version.
• All the characters’ text boxes have been reverted back to default. (Black)
• New SFX have been added in older scenes.
• A fair bit of proofreading….

New Updates:

• Characters now have side images when speaking.
• Added Black bars when showing CGs, and a dark tint over the night scenes.
• Added New musics, more sfxs and BGs.
• More dialogues.

Fixes:

• A good chunk of dialogue has been adjusted to make it less cluttered.
• Proofreading… (I tried)
• Font size has been increased to help phone users to read more easily…
• Updated the “About” page. (Still bare-bones but eventually…)

New Updates:

• Main screen image has been replaced by a new one.
• Narration texts are now centered, let me know how you feel about it and whether I should just revert it back.
• Named characters now have their own coloured textbox except the main character. (Just a simple re-colour for now. Do let me know how you feel about it and whether I should stick with the default one until I find/make a better one.)
• Your Name is now coloured based on the Orb you picked. (e.g If you picked the Green Orb, your name colour will be green.)
• Added New music, sfx and BG.
• Added the first CG
• Gran and Dave now has affection points. You can’t see them yet though, but it does affect the story. (Pretty limited for now.)

• Added a small introduction to a new possible… Antagonist? :0
