Life in Woodchester 0.3.0 is Public! (Patreon)

As an apology for the terrible release date estimations, I'm releasing 0.3.0 to everyone immediately. Sorry for the long wait but I learned a lot about what you guys want (quicker bursts of content, not waiting longer) and I also need to communicate better with you guys when I'm having issues or whatnot.

New Content

• New Character Lily Added
• 4 New Janice Story Scenes
• 5 New Lily Story Scenes
• 6 New Tara Story Scenes
• 2 New Shower Scenes

New Features

• Saving & Loading is now working (your old saves wont work for this build, but we're working on backwards compatibility moving forward, after our next update.
• Quick Save & Quick Load are working, this feature is for those that like to dig through every dialogue box. You can quick save in one part of the dialogue, then quickload to jump back. Does not actually save the game, only keeps your "spot in line" for that dialogue scene.
• Shaders can be enabled or disabled in the settings.
• New GMS2 Runtime This runtime should make garbage collection easer on all devices. Will keep an eye on Mobile devices to see if it has memory improvements.
• Exposed Dialogue We have exposed the dialogue to text files in the dialogue folder. Want to spice things up on your own? Go ahead! This also opens things up for localization. We've only exposed dialogue so no room text yet. Also new lines are not supported, just adding and tweaking existing text.
• Bug Fixes Galore Believe us! There were many.

Known Issues

• Audio sliders are not working for resolutions under 1080p (working)
• Minor Visual Bugs involving particles
• Auto button in the VN bar works, but doesn't really work well

What's Next?

We'd love your feedback, at the moment we're going to focus on more quality of life (SFX, UI Visuals, Another round of dialogue scene polish, Emotes like anger or sweat animations, chest bouncing when characters move around, etc)

I'd also like to start working with Items, mini games & skill checks. Without spoiling any of this build, there are moments where you will lose if you don't have the skills to perform a certain task (wrestling, fixing things etc) in the future. We have scenes for that stuff too.

We also want to continue working on these 3 characters story and we'll start getting in Lily's friends in here too.

Thanks Again!

You guys are the ones that make this game possible! Thanks so much for your patronage. <3
