Password Beta Update (b0.80) (Patreon)

Changelog:

• Dean Rewrite (Part 3)

The next next part of Dean rewrite!

It was a lot less than I wanted to write this update, though I allocated a lot more time to cleaning up TCM stuff given the leaps and bounds that were made on the backend of that. So this update brings the new content up to the end of day 9. This does include all alternate scenes where Dean is involved, even the bad ends! I don't think I've missed anything anyway.

Visually, I was able to locate the files for the UI buttons so FINALLY the last button on the main menu has been fixed to be not just text and works the same as the others. I don't think I've missed anything crucial button-wise now, but if I have just let me know on Discord.

Additionally, given I was in such a UI sorta mood after working in Unity, I've made some tweaks to how the save slots work. Now, each box on the save slot should display the character it corresponds to! Additionally, in the interest of thinking ahead to a blind experience, Benson and Oswin's portraits will now only show up after set days. This also carries through to the icon in the top right, so now you'll have the character whose route your on as an image rather than just a square of colour.

If you're a fan of the changes visually, and I know I am, pass thanks and praise for the sprite work to Booken! They're wonderful and he's done a bunch of fun little animations as fan work of the boys. If you haven't seen them, absolutely check them out on the server under fan art.

Next up, merch!

Now I don't have any solid announcements for when it'll be available, or even what it'll be outside that it's another plushie, but it's been sent off for prototyping already! Turn around so far has been much faster than Dave so there's a possibility that we may be able to do another Password Plushie right after depending. At this point I'm not really sure who would be best to pick, it'll be up to the vocal majority to say who they want, I imagine. But when I have photos from the factory, I'll unveil who it is!

Sprites are going well too, with Ghost chipping away where he can with what strikes his mood. As such:

We're rapidly getting the cast done, so it's very exciting to know that at some point soon all the boys will have a fresh coat of paint. Backgrounds I still am unsure of how I'll handle but at least the character sprites will look fantastic in glorious 1080p.

Plan for next update is to another day given I really want to crack on with more TCM work with how close it is to being playable, even if just as a proof of concept stage. If you're interested on it's progress, I'm pretty open about it in its current stage of development on the server so feel free to swing by!

Mobile build will go up when I have time, if it's not up within 24 hours someone poke me on Discord to make sure I haven't forgotten.
