Conflicting Renunions and QOL updates. (Patreon)

This week I focused on finishing up the GDC chapters completely. Right now, I'm fixing up Conflicting Renunion shenanigans and all that.

I showed that I remade the Scholar District, and showed a snippit of it on Discord, but recently I still wasnt happy with it and took another attempt. This one hits the mark for me and I'm really pleased with how it is now.

Other than that... I did some work on Sashila and Alamissa!

The main goal for these parts was to cut down on exposition and dialogue. The sashila portions of the game can be a huge slog on other playthroughs because it's just wall after wall of text. For those who complain about there being too much dialogue? In this part, I 100% agree with you. Looking at the pages of events I wanted to work on, the amount of text... was kind of insane. I've cut down on text quite a bit, and I've made things snappier and more involved.

Speaking of trimming text, I've also been working on a QOL I think a lot of people will enjoy. Starting from 13.5+, you'll be able to skip entire segments on repeat playthroughs. These segments are usually ones that have a pause from the player's story and give insight elsewhere. It's neat that you can play as Melia in the library and all, but the purpose of this section is to give exposition and push the story forward. But on repeat playthroughs, you've already seen this! You can just skip it.
This goes for Lavender's "escape" segment and the Diamond and Pearl segments (And more!).
And for those who don't particularly care for the action segments in Marianette's mansion, I'm planning on having those be skippable as well, just maybe not through the same way. 

Please note that if there are relationship gain/losses in these segments, you will lose out on them. Additionally, this is a QOL that will only affect new save files, as the condition of multiple playthroughs is decided during the intro.

You will always get the option to skip or play through a segment. You're not locked out of anything you wish to revisit.

You will not be able to skip huge chunk of involved chapters, though. Like playing as Ren in the past. 

But that's all for this week! Thank you guys for supporting me and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week :)
