Episode 4, Update #7

Heya,

Bit of an early one this time as I'm away for the weekend. The 'Fight Now' element is now fully functional amd can be freely accessed outside of the story. There were two problems I ran into, one of which is fully sorted. The moves unlocked throughout the story are variables stored as part of the story. As soon as you exit wherever you are in the story, they are reset and disabled. I somehow needed to change them to permanent variables. If you're already passed the points where you'd earn the moves, you don't get the new variables. Anyway, the solution I had for this is to trigger a long list of all the moves that you've unlocked during your playthrough, once you start episode 4. When you begin EP4, the ones you earned for your current playthrough will become permanently unlocked. If you start again from the beginning, they'll unlock permanently as you earn them. It's the same for the fighers. There are only two at the moment (Rosie and Diana) and they'll also be permanently unlocked once you begin EP4. Damn, that was a bit wordy, apologies! 😁

Problem number 2 is an issue where the renders for the moves earned in episode 3 don't exist for Rosie's sparring match. You'd never have those advanced moves during episode 2, so I didn't bother making the renders required for it. That in itself isn't a difficult fix, except that the quality of episode two is quite a bit behind episode 3 and 4, and they no longer match. I'll have to re-render Rosie's fight. It's a bit of a pain in the ass, but I think it looks nicer. Here's the difference:

On top of that, I got some more scenes done. One of the first lewds is completed. This coming release they'll look slightly different again, as I decided to mix both the style of EP2 and EP3 together. You'll get some animations while the camera pans around and shows different angles and positions. Good animations take a lot of time and it's not something I'm very proficient at and the project unfortunately doesn't do well enough for me to be able to afford an animator.

Anyway, I'll continue developing the various unique LI scenes and see how it goes!

All the best,

Ezy ❤️
