It's done! Progress log 7 (v0.4)

Alright the update is done, I said there wouldn't be any more progress logs unless something went wrong, and it sort of did, so here I'll be addressing all of that stuff.

However, before we get on to that, let's start with the happy stuff, so what is in the v0.4 update?

• New  POI: Pool

• New outfits: Swimsuits for the pool and a new pair of panties

• A save system

• A lot of new events: 20 pool events, 2 bathhouse events, 3 PUB events

• An improved town

• Lots of improved assets

So, the last 3 remaining things were to code the new POI, code  for a very unique event, and then just minor code related stuff. 

The first thing that went sort of wrong was the fact that for the most part the new POI wasn't able to use existing code, so a ton of new code had to be written just for it. The good thing about it was that I took the opportunity to add a lot of interactions that wouldn't have been possible without the custom code.

Once the new POI was done I finally moved on to the actual testing (aka. booting up the game from start to finish), and that's when things got really ugly really quickly. Long story short nothing seemed to be working properly on the technical side of things  (mainly because a lot of the code done for v0.1 wasn't being nice), so a lot of time went on to fixing everything.

Anyways, because of the code related flaws I decided that I'll work on a 0.45 update in which a lot of the code on the previous POIs will be brought up to date, which will make it a lot easier to work on for future updates and it will allow to add a bunch of more complex interactions, and while I'm talking about 0.45, I should also mention that the Inn events will have to be moved on to that update for various reasons.

Then there's the unique event I mentioned, that one was actually quite important for this update as it was the reason behind the level 4 PUB events, but unfortunately it was just far too difficult to add with the current code as it spanned across multiple POIs and there were just too many technical complications.

Mei's code also stopped working on a lot of important interactions which caused the player to skip some events. The good thing is that now it's working working properly and it's done in a way that it'll be easier to add stuff in future updates.

Ok, so a lot of things went wrong and the update seemed like it was going to be pushed back to 2020, but some good ol crunch and pushing some content over to a smaller update will allow for a mostly complete v0.4 release.

So what was pushed from v0.4 onto another update?

• The Inn events

• Day cycle system: I have some really big plans for this, so it's better to push it and give it the time it deserves to really be able to shine.

• That one event

Beta release should be up shortly!
