VNC Just Friends Build 0.5.0 GD4.3 Release Date.

Added 2025-01-23 02:45:54 +0000 UTC

Hello you all!

I have some news. First I was able to finally, after weeks, add the Save/Load/Delete feature to the game, it was a painful process, but the whole system is more complex now, thankfully with the help of a friend who gave me some good pointers and did a lot of the actual ground working for the core of the VN, the code is way more procedural now. This means, loading stuff is way easier, only needing to load very little information and the rest just happens automatically.

However, I still need to test for Affinity and Affinity checkers in load saves, I know the affinity is saved because the code is way better prepared for that now, but I need to make sure you go to the correct route now.

I'll do the tests on the following days, then the build will be released for you all on tier 2+!

Here's a look of the new save/load system:

As a note, I do want to say that I saw some bugs that I could NOT replicate, but I still tried to fix them based on what information was saved on the files, I was able to find out what it could be and I tried to change how it was done in code. After that, I couldn't re-do the bug. But hey, if you find a bug while playing in the future, just warn me and I'll try to fix it.

Next month I'll be working to add Gallery AND Skip into the game, these features will be a huge pain to work without breaking my head :D After that, in March, the Visual Novel Core project should be 100% completed, so I will branch Just Friends from it, I will add the three remaining Johan routes into it, and then I will start working on theming. Once all of the Black and White menus become Blue and Pink again, I will resume the vote for Tier 3+ patrons to decide what routes they wanna see next and stuff like that! =D

I want to thank you all for the support this month. I wasn't expecting you all to stick with me, but it's because of all of you that I was able to keep on with the project and I want to do so much more from now on. I'm saving money (as much as it's possible) for more art and other stuff related to the project, it may take some time to save enough but I'm sure I'll be able to go on with the project thanks to you all! These are the current patrons of this month that will be featured in the build.

If you want your name added to each build release, don't forget to support Just Friend ni any of the tiers below, but don't forget that only Silver Will plus members can access the actual build.
