Hey guys! Things have somewhat calmed down. But Bella still has some separation anxiety from being rehomed, so she doesn't really let me program sometimes. That, and I'm still trying to get used to my new exercise routine.

But I got the VN thing done!

I'll briefly mention the changes in the devlog I posted last week alongside the new stuff. And i'm limiting screenshots because its nearly 11 pm and I still need to take a shower and screenshots will take too much time.

It's late, and I'm tired, and I've been programming almost nonstop all weekend.

Gameplay and UI

-You know, achievements, they exist now (mentioned in last devlog)

-Tweaked various unconventional victory dialogues

-Added functionality for preventing continuing until dialogue finishes

-Added the one missing unconventional victory
--It's neat
--Shout out to Grimwit (My artist friend who doe sthe 2d art) for getting so much art done on such short notice!
Heres some art.

-Added Visual novel system for certain sequences and put it 'through the ringer' functionality-wise with some new content
--This also supports image effects and animations!

-Gained approximately 20 points of misery reworking and fixing various strange bugs with my dialogue system

-Reworded numerous bits of text and dialogue all over the game because my ability to write has improved, and the old dialogue was bugging me and super stilted sometimes

-DR4X basically has a mini visual novel in it now
--It's also pretty reactive

-Updated Minigames DIalogue
--I guess I also technically added a new one.

Bug Fixes
-Fixed that weird Hex unhighlight bug (mentioned in last devlog)

-Fixed issue where social media links showed up during climax of chapter 1.

-Put in a fix for a bug with my typing system

-Fixed numerous bugs with the dialogue system specifically

-Fixed bug with a secret dialogue chain

Balancing Nothing really balance-wise (I have some stuff I do want to add this week though)

Bella Update

I'm adding a new section to my changelogs occasionally, the "Bella Update," after my wonderful new doggo. Because everyone likes doggo pics :D
So, what's the update on Bella?
She's doing well :)
She has a favorite toy now!

Try to see if you can find the thing! Night!
