Just Friends Build 0.56.0.35 Release!

Hey there guys, this build had a LOT of extra work put on it. So let me talk about it a bit:

CHANGELOG (Compressed Version):

• Fixed some issues that would cause crashes when the game called to stop the background music.
• Imported SFX and Ambiance sounds into the game's files.
• Updated JSON Editor to be able to add the SFX and Ambiance information while populating the JSON file with the game's script. 
• Updated the Gallery to allow for Johan's information to be correctly loaded and saved. *Please go to your appdata/roaming/justfriendsvn/ and delete the gallery.sav if you still can't see at least one of Johan's sprites after finishing his first day. 
• Changed how many points you need to have to unlock all character's dressed sprites in the Gallery.
• Added a new Background Placeholder for places where I plan to buy new cutscenes from Wagner or another artist in the future. * This change was made mostly to be easier to spot where I should add the scene when I get my hands into the artwork.
• Added a total of 9 routes for Wagner, finishing his entire 5th Day in-game.
• Updated the Changelog, Game Text Revision number, Game's build number, Credits Menu and Credt's scene (this last one have the new sounds added to it too) and the Roadmap.
• Put on hold most of the possible features for next month.

So let's talk a bit about this handsome dog's last route because it's a bit special: Wagner's last routes on Day 5 have all Sound Effects and Ambiance sound added AND working properly. I did that to test if the system works, and it does, however: The game does not SAVE that information. if you save the game, and reload it, the game will not reload the SFX or Ambiance's that should be playing, since that information is not added to the System.sav or the Game.sav files yet. 

Now you guys can have an idea of how these effects affect the game's atmosphere. However, this system is only 45% complete. I still need to save information and update the option menus to allow you to adjust the volumes and things like this, and save that information too. Once that's done, I need to comb through all days again, slowly checking whenever an SFX should be added or whenever an AMbiance should be played! 

The changelog of this version is also packed with cool images, you should read it in-game if you're interested in seeing it.

For now, that's it. What's next?

You must have noticed that a lot of features were temporarily put on Hold in the CHangelog, right? That's because I will spend the majority of February working solely on finishing the Sound Effect System. I believe I can at the very least update Day0.JSON, Day1.JSON, and part of Day2.JSON files for February. I believe it's important for you guys to be able to play a few days with the system already working properly before resuming the Polls for tier 3+ patrons, so they can decide if they want me to keep updating the days with the rest of the Sound Effects or to do something else. This is the first time I have placed the Poll on hold, but then again I have already done it before for the Animations, I remember I had to stop the poll for one or two months while solely working on creating the Animations and adding them to all days, it was such a heavy workload. The game has way too much information by this point. And the same happened again for Filters if I'm not mistaken! 

I believe I only need one or two more months to finish the whole system, and I will make sure I can update as many dialogues as possible next month. Since there's no poll this month, I'll be starting the whole rest of the system right away.

I hope you guys enjoy this build, and I also hope I can have you all here again next month, your support helps me pay my bills, be able to survive, and save every tiny bit of money to buy more artwork.

And ah, about artwork: I'm sure Wagner will finish the things I already had him start, but I am also looking at other artists for the artwork for the cutscenes and backgrounds. If you guys want to suggest artists you would enjoy the game, I will save their information and do my research. IT's not unusual to have multiple artists in a game's art as long as the art is the same through one of the areas: Backgrounds, Sprites, and Cutscenes. But hey, if I can get more art from Wagner I will add them to the game too, I'm just saying that there's a possibility that I will need to find more artists to buy art from, as long as I don't have more than two working on different areas for the game, the game should remain consistent in each area.

Either way, for now, this is it. I hope you all have a nice day!
