Just Friends Build 0.71.0.44 Release!

Hey there guys. Sorry for the delay I originally wanted to release this for you all yesterday but I got sick with a pretty nasty cold again, but I'm feeling good enough today to finish my work!

So here's the news about this build:

Some important features that were added was the PATHFINDER option, some important fixes for "First Encounter" routes that should now work. First, First Encounters routes would NOT trigger in the new GD engine, once a patron noticed that for me, I tried a quick fix, but with it I noticed later that the 1stEncounter would NEVER activate anymore. so I had to be a bit more radical, add some actual variables for checks, and now the first encounter will happen at least ONCE for you, as long as you never have seen that character. This new feature is saved on your save data, so I highly recommend you to start a new game again, since missing these values could crash the game. To understand more what PATH FINDER does, go to the in-game help menu, it should be the last section. (I will try to remake the help menu with lots of "small menus" that you can click to read in the future, when I feel like it, for now just scroll).

I did add some fail safes, but just to be sure, a new game save is always recommended.

I also fixed some general issues I found while taking screenshots for upgrading the Help Menu, such as the fact that the Save Data #10 for some reason I will never understand (because the code was printing the value right), would never display the 10, and it would be empty. I fixed it after some changes here and there and now every icon should be displayed.

A very annoying bug I just discovered was that, the automatic Date/Time system for Just Friends Month Patrons list at the title screen is way too automatic. It will change the date whenever you open the game, so if you have a February build and open it, that build will change it's value to April. This should not happen, so I essentially remade the whole code to work in a manual way. It's more steps for me, but it should work.

I don't know if I told this the last build, but now the first message of the game will always display the current Build of the game, I made sure to add a tag [GAMEVER] that will always display the Game Version correctly for you guys, no more needing to open Day0 and manually changing that, thank god.

Johan has new routes! And the Roadmaps were updates too!

I think that's it

Tier 2 and Tier 3 patrons will soon (in the next few minutes) get a private message with the build links and passwords. If you don't get a link in an hour after this post was made, please contact me here and I'll send it to you. Don't forget you need to be an Active Tier 2 + member to get this link. Tier 1 members have access to an early public build. You can demand that if you don't have it. If I'm not mistaken, the build 0.58 is available for Tier 1 patrons to access. By July tier 1 patrons will have access to another early build, while the public will only have access to a new build every year so, eventually Tier 1 patrons will be quite far ahead than the public. :)

For now that's it.

I hope you all enjoy this new build!

If you're a new patron, don't forget to ask me directly for the build (I tend to check new patrons as soon as I'm notified anyway, so I will send you the link but if I forget, just ask for it BEFORE the month ends, and you'll get your reward).
