Rogue-Like 0.977 (Winter Comes, and is full of bugs) (Patreon)

Ok, here's the promised Emma Frost teaser. Keep your expectations reasonable on this one. It's a one-scene teaser to show off the character, although it does have a few different paths to it. After that, don't expect to see her again until a version or two down the road. You should be able to find her any time after unlocking Kitty, or roughly a week or so into a new game.

As a first build of a new version, expect bugs. Another wildcard on this version is that I changed from an older version of Renpy to a newer one, so there will likely be some issues related to that. Let's work together to narrow that down. I noticed that when I tried the build earlier, some, but not all of my previous saves were "missing." They were not actually gone from my computer, but were not showing up in the launch build of the game, and I'm not sure why. I believe that these were saves that included unrecoverable errors in them, and that's why they were being hidden, but we can narrow that down. 

I also pulled back a little on my redundancies for this one, since the new Renpy version is supposed to be better at automatically correcting some of the missing variable issues we've had in previous builds, but if it continues to be an issue I can put those features back in. I've also been messing with the UI so it's got some different font sizes now, that's a work in progress. There's also a "clock" image in the corner that only works some of the time, still working on that, but you can at least mouse over it to see how much time is left in a time block. Emma does not have a unique UI background, she's borrowing Kitty's at the moment, but she'll get one once I've worked out the shape I want for the UI, as well as a better way of manually selecting her UI.

Known bugs:
-Emma is showing up in class after her intro scene, which should not be happening in this build since the game is not built to handle her being around yet outside that intro scene. Just ignore her for now, I'll fix it next build.

What I'd like to hear from you guys is:
-General feedback about Emma, her sprite, her facial animations, her dialog, her scene, etc.
-Any UI feedback you want to give, I'm messing with it at the moment so it's got some sloppiness, but I'd like to know what data you'd like to have available that currently isn't. I intend to expand the "UI bar," and also to add new "character sheets" in some form.
-Any bugs related to missing variables, especially "E_" variables that would be Emma-related, or any other bugs that might come up from older saves.
-Anything that seems new about this new Renpy version (aside from that error screens are gray instead of blue now).
-Did I fuck anything up with the existing characters and data? I tweaked a few bugs and stuff in between versions but I don't believe I added anything else significant. Any other new content I've been working on was left out of this build until it's in a finished state.
-Oh, and please let me know what stats you have with Emma (mouse over the bars in the top of the screen before leaving the scene) so I can get a feel for how most players move through the options. They can vary considerably.
