Succulence 2[0.53.3] - Graphic Overhaul Pt.1 (Patreon)

Hello, here I am with part one of upgrade/remaster of Succulence 2 images - and probably the most broken release I've done so far. Several big prologue events have been removed because of bugs and some things that need to be reworked.
That's why it's called 0.53 instead of 0.55.

Some info about this update - as a standalone update it's dreadfully small, despite the fact that there's almost 600 new images in the game(600 done, 3000+ to go). It's basically a small demo of what the overhaul looks like. Last month I couldn't bear to release it when it was even smaller, but I can't constantly move release dates either, so here it is.

Reminder: Old save files are disabled, fresh start is required.

Warning: game might crash frequently - save often and in different slots.

As a tech demo though - there's a lot going on here that's interesting.

Notable stuff:
- New wardrobe that changes pictures when scrolling through the options - lots of images went into that one, and it was showcased(kind of) last month.
The only problem right now is - there's not a lot of clothes to play with.
For those interested in unlocking all options in the wardrobe - switches 26, 28 and 30 in debug menu need to be ON(make sure to do it on a separate save though).

- New character images: This is where most of resources went into. Each character pose has been redesigned basically from scratch, with new lighting, new angles and big size.
Also, image folder structure has been changed, and images are now sorted in their own folders, making navigation much easier.
The way images appear on screen also has been changed and automated in a way that allows to show full range of expressions with different poses.
This is highlighted in Serena's apartment, where she can walk around either clothed, wrapped in tower, or being shy, and all 3 distinct poses can be used during cutscenes or interactions(previously impossible to do).

Changelog[0.53.3]:
- New title screen that reflects Serena's customization & lust level
- New character poses for Serena and all cast members
- New wardrobe system
- New default selection of clothes for Serena
- New phone menu options(2 out of 3 are under construction)
- General improvements to the phone menu
- Prologue images upgraded to be higher quality
- Shower event reworked

Didn't make it:
Fight images - still working on them
Eve prologue event: Held back because bugs + need to rework some features.
Neighbour party - everything before it is broken, can't get to that event.
Halloween event - will be merged with the Holiday Special in the next release.

And that's about it. It's a shame that I've spent so much time on this update over two months, and it amounted to 5 minutes of gameplay without crashes, but what can you do but continue.
So I'll continue to move forward with the overhaul, and there are some good news in all this:

- The most difficult part is definitely over(the wardrobe and character images), the only challenge ahead is the massive fight system - once it's done the image upgrade will go fast and smooth.
- All technical improvements listed above will allow to implement lots of customization and outfit variants easily. Not only that - they will allow summer tan(even different variations of tan) to be available in the whole game for all characters. So the Summer Special is not dead just yet.

Thank you for reading this and thank you for the support - it's a bit weird to remake and upgrade the game when it's half-done, but it will be worth it.
In the original(and in this game too) I've had a lot of trouble after I established the foundation that was too limiting for my ambition, and I've had to cut a lot of corners because of that.
But this overhaul allows me to expand the technical aspects of the game to suit my needs - because now I know precisely what I need this game to be able to do.

In December we'll have an upcoming holiday event, and the update to Holiday Special(plus one more thing that I'll keep a secret until it's done), so that we'll at least end the year on a high note.

Until tomorrow.
Cheers.
