Just Friends Build 0.55.0.35 now Released!

First of all: Merry christmas everyone, and Happy New Year!

Let's start with this build changelog:

• Credits Menu updated*
• Implemented 9 route segments for Johan!
• Fixed bugs related to audio that I have found.
• Started the sound Effects System on the side*
• RoadMap was updated with more detailed information about implementation that is not text-based (Lore/Routes for the game) since those will take considerably more time to do and may render only bug-fixes patch updates instead until they're fully finished.
• Small UI changes in the Title Screen*

So, about this build, if you want to know with details what was added, how many route segments Johan's route has, how many dialogs, and how many words, all of that is on the Changelog menu. Since I forgot to add (and will be added later as a small patch update), the Day1.JSON is finally finished and has a total (for now) of 14.202 lines of code. This can and will get bigger once the SFX/Ambiance system is implemented, since every single information the game shows you is actually inside the JSON files for the script of the game (usually in the Dialog section). 

As a bit of exciting news for those who love good UI design, Bluesky decided to change its own icon and now instead of a freaking sky with boring clouds, it's a beautiful butterfly silhouette, which means I could update the icon for the butterfly in the game title screen, finally. It looks way better. 

I will be updating the icons on the banners eventually too.

This build marks the end of this year and is a strange coincidence, but one that makes me very satisfied with my OCD is that Johan's first day in-game is finished. I was actually planning to release this build before Christmas, but around day 15 of December I got very sick with a strong cold that is still plaguing me since my awesome roommate decided to go to a freaking comic-con and bring back a good old-fashioned cold to me as a souvenir, I wasn't able to work properly for more than a week, so that may have affected a bit the quality of the text,  but I did all the corrections and I've read the text five times, so at the very least I can guarantee good quality in the end. Johan's route is also way more complex and frankly, way better written than Wagner and Karnal, since both characters are owned by other people I don't have the same creativity freedom with them. 

For the delay, I'm very, very sorry guys. But I thank every single one of you for supporting me this month, for the new patrons, thank you so much, your names are already in the credits of the game. Every single person who supported the game via itch.io had their name added to the credits (with an abbreviation on the surname for security reasons), and any of them who supported me with more than 6 USD had their name added. If you're one of these people and don't want your name in there, contact me at any time and just confirm your e-mail so I can see it's truly you and delete your name. But I don't think having only your first name and the initial of the second and third name should pose a problem to your identity. And it's my way of saying thank you for their support too!

With this build, we're one step closer to a complete game. I still have to finish Karnal and Wagner on Day 4 (and once it's done their routes will be put on hold until Johan is AT THE VERY LEAST on Day 3.JSON completed since he's so far behind), and after those days there's still four days to be added (with the last one being the post-game scenes depending on how good your affinity with these characters are at the end of the game).  I'm glad to the point we've come, and it's all because of you guys supporting me. Thank you so much. 

Now, one last thing before you guys go and grab these builds: 

* The Password system is still in place. All active marked patrons from Tier 2+ will receive the password very soon.

* IF you do not receive the password in the next two hours, there's a high possibility Patreon have marked you as a Free member. This happens because they love changing what's not necessary to do. Free members are every single potential patron who follows me here but does not support the project.  If a currently paying Patron deletes its pledge, for some wicked reason, Patreon marks them as a Free member, even if they have PAID for the month and have paid access to the red of the month.

So please: If you have not received the password, ask me, and as soon as I'm notified by mail that I have messages I will come here and quickly give you the password too. Just ask me for the password BEFORE the end of the month if you don't intend on supporting me for the next month, from 1 January you won't be considered a Patron and won't have the right to the password anymore. 

I'm so so sorry for this, Patreon is doing some changes that make no freaking sense, and this is one of them. So please, ask for the password if you haven't got it, just remember to do it while you're still on your paying grace period, ok?

Thank you all for your support, for your time, and for reading this through here, and I wish you all a happy new year. If I'm not too busy I will do a Monthly thanks message, but we'll see. 

The pool for the next build shall be added tomorrow morning or later today, I'm going to nap a bit because I'm tired and I put an all-nighter to finish the build for you guys! :D
