A Promise Best Left Unkept V0.2.5 - Hangover (10$) Tier

V0.2.5 is a bit smaller than my other updates (17.5k words vs 20k+ words), and doesn’t have as much action as I would have liked it to. Unfortunately, that kind of downtime is bound to happen sometimes, even more so with the rule system and Laura wanting to fight back. I did have the opportunity to implement a few things because I had a bit more time on my hands though.

Scene replay

You can now replay the sex scenes directly from the menu. You can find the option in the extra section, right next to the CG gallery. It was a bit harder to implement than I had first envisaged (because of the rules, mostly), but I knew it was an addition that was kinda mandatory.

Phone system

I coded a simple phone system where the protagonist receives messages/images on his phone. It’s nothing groundbreaking or anything, and I’m not sure that it will be used all that much in this game, but it’s something that I want to use more often going forward. So the time investment was worth it since I’ll be able to use it in my next projects.

Here's a quick sample:

Game size

I was able to reduce the size of the game to a third of what it was by simply changing the image format of the CGs from JPEG to WEBP. Normally, there shouldn’t be any noticeable change in quality. So there are only upsides to this!

Though, since I tried to implement a lot of things at once, it wouldn’t be surprising if some of you encounter errors or bugs. If it does occur, please let me know.
