Godot 4 Engine Dev update!

It took me some days do fine-tune everything, but the "Default" theme of the Message Log menu is now done. I think it's different enough from others VN's too, and it looks quite nice.

 

With this menu ready, now I can go onto make the other menus. I'll start with the Options menu, I think the audio is far too loud and I want to have the option to change the settings. This menu will also be the starting point for a Save system, so it's a good thing.

For now, I'm satisfied with it, though, this is NOT how this menu will look on Just Friends, the theme of JF is pink and blue, so once the whole core is done, I'll go on the themes and change all the colors to the defaults for Just Friends. For now though everything will look rather bland on purpose, since I have plans for other VNs in the future, this is literally me future-proofing the engine.

Making this menu took me five days, so I hope the others will be easier, but making sure all themes are on only one node for "ease of access and changes" in the future is a fucking horrible process that took me more time than actually programming the code to add the text correctly there.

Either way, this log menu is set to have over 100 dialogs before "erasing" the first child. IT should be enough. Also, the "Close" button is the text on the right, it's aligned with the Window title "Message Log" too, I don't think it's hard to figure it out since it literally says "Close Menu" but hey, I can always change the theme to add the highlights too if necessary. (For now, all stages of the button are "empty" so to speak).

For now, that's it.

I'm also working on Johan~s next route so you guys can have something this month too, but tier 3 an 4 patrons will have access to this early godot build with extra content soon too. Just a reminder: The script for this version is "outdated" meaning I will have to manually update all three Johan's route segments (with this month's plot route too) in it. But I think by the end of January, Just Friends will be on Godot 4 officially! :)
