Update 1.74
Added 2019-02-01 18:03:27 +0000 UTCHowdy guys! I know it's just a housekeeping update, but I'm really excited to put this one out there.
First of all, you'll see right off the bat, we have a new title screen! It was time to replace the last one with something more updated to the style of Extracurricular Activities now and one that has the whole cast on it. CaptainGerBear kept some of the original design concepts, like the title logo, and you'll notice a heart on the tennis ball as well. When you load up your game again, some of you might have a different color scheme with our MC, and that's because he'll change depending on your choices when you create a character! If you haven't been through the character create process since the last update, start a new game, choose your colors, then escape back to the menu, and you should see the changes right away! On top of that, if you use a different color scheme for different files, he'll appear as the most recently loaded color (as long as that file has been through the character creation process since update 1.73).
Title screen music! There will be no more deafening silence on the title screen! StofferTheWolf (the composer of Darius's Dreams Awakening) is the one that did that. You might notice some new music from my current composer, Efe Tozan, in there as well. I've even started adding some extra sound effects and ambience within Spencer's route.
Spencer's route rework - I didn't think I'd be able to get it done, due to spending extra time at the doctor with my boyfriend lately, but I got all of Spencer's route reworked with his updated character sprites and dialogue boxes. There are still some tweaks to be added in (certain clothing and expressions that we don't have yet), but things should be mostly normal. Spencer even got a new shirt, and I added in some new backgrounds from Gavel!
UI tweaks abound! I've been tired of using the Ren'Py default color scheme for a while now, and I finally got around to changing that. Say goodbye to that old Preference and Save/Load menu screen! One note about the Save Screen, you'll notice some of the boxes are different sizes now. I increased the number of save slots per page and increased the size of the screenshot saved. The size change will not affect old files, but when you save a new file, you'll see the change right away. If you want to adjust the old files, just load the save and save it again to correct it.
I have officially decided on a 'doing business as' title for myself and all further projects as well! From now on, any of my projects will be listed as produced by "WolfBite Interactive". Thanks a ton fo Tuler for doing the amazing logo for me. This was a really exciting thing to finally decide on, after months of contemplation. The changes will also be seen in my website, since it has an official domain as well - WolfBite Interactive. A new splash screen has been added to EA to reflect this as well.

Tipmon, it took a while! I wasn't counting, and also I'm a slow reader, but I suspect it took me better than 6 hours to get through just Spencer.

2019-02-26 22:41:54 +0000 UTCIf this is your first time, you should know that this man has put in almost (over?) 2 years of work into this game. It has slowed down a little bit in the last year or so with him cutting the numbers of routes updated per week in half along with the housekeeping updates every 3 months but he is getting close to the end with atleast 2 routes. Now is a great time to join in! Also, I am curious, about how much play time do you think you have? I want to know about how long it takes to actually get through all 5 routes at this point. It doesn't seem like much to most of us because we really only have to play 2-4 days per month but I could imagine it would be a huge investment at this point.

2019-02-13 05:06:58 +0000 UTCI'm a first time donor, but just wanted to pop in and say this was a treat to play through. It's surprising how detailed it is with so much time generously heaped on each character with only the one writer. I played though Spencer's route and he was so endearing. I also appreciated that some time was dedicated to getting to know the protagonist instead of him simply being a prop for exposition about the LI. Spoiler: One of my favorite parts was the recurring lumberjack dream during the beginning of the story. I was actually kind of hoping that would have come full circle on day 26 when they are talking in the shower about their fantasies. Instead of just reciprocating about trying sub or dom, it would have been really fun to respond with "Well, you see I've had this recurring dream..." Thanks for all your work, it's a blast to support.

2019-02-12 18:16:51 +0000 UTCIs that a Dr. Who reference I detect in the Darius path? "Bigger on the inside". :D And a psychic protagonist no less.

2019-02-08 19:37:55 +0000 UTCHaha, well, I'm not the art artist, only the word artist! But there is still a lot of work to come. Thank you!
DyneWulf
2019-02-08 19:37:37 +0000 UTCSpencer's face is just like he's waiting for the MC to throw the ball so he can fetch it back, tongue and all. Now look at it again and try to deny it.

2019-02-08 14:21:22 +0000 UTCI didn't think about that happening on android (since PC doesn't deal with a loading screen at all). Same goes for the icon. I didn't realize the icon didn't change x3
DyneWulf
2019-02-05 02:49:59 +0000 UTCEveryone still have expressions to be made. There's still work to be done.
DyneWulf
2019-02-05 02:47:46 +0000 UTCIt should be cleared by now, I think! They were having issues processing payments this weekend.
DyneWulf
2019-02-05 02:45:54 +0000 UTCYou are a great artist I love your work. Darius is the best story because the characters show many emotions on the face and empathize more with the characters, for example it would be good to see more detailed when the coach receives a blow on the balls, as it is on the ground and his face pain. thank you for reading me it's an honor.
2019-02-05 02:12:49 +0000 UTCI’m not sure this is what you had in mind, but on Android, the “Loading RenPy” image is displayed during start. It’s then replaced my the new Wolfbite logo, which stops the app until you tap. I think you wanted to replace the Loding RenPy image (which is android-presplash.jpg) with the new logo. Also the app icons are still the RenPy icon. The new main menu image is awesome by the way!

2019-02-04 15:27:36 +0000 UTCgood update with the tittle screen but... will there be more facial expressions for Spencer? it feels weird now.. overall i dig the update might just be me
2019-02-03 07:17:56 +0000 UTCI just reopened the app, and I got an error message. I'm going to send it to you.
2019-02-03 05:31:25 +0000 UTCI'm stuck on the LnL scene in Coach's path. I can't press enter on the name. This is on android by the way.
2019-02-03 05:20:16 +0000 UTCI love the New title screen, btw is something wrong with the payment?, 'cause i didn't get the e-mail yet...
2019-02-03 01:39:46 +0000 UTCSpencer looks too adorable in the new title screen too. X3 Also, I've noticed a few minor errors, such as scenes where Spencer is supposed to be shown wearing the green jockstrap: it'll show something else, his image missing from part of the first date (when they get to the park), etc. I assume these will be corrected in future updates though. And finally, the new music + sound effects added quite a bit more "life" to the route.
2019-02-02 21:38:09 +0000 UTCGotta say, I absolutely love this housekeeping update. The new backgrounds from Gavel are lovely, especially the one for the front of the Greenlight Cafe. CGB also did lively work with the new title screen. It's got all of the main characters in it, even Maria and Richard!
2019-02-02 21:32:33 +0000 UTCMaria plays a big role, and since Richard is getting his whole route...
DyneWulf
2019-02-02 18:21:08 +0000 UTCSilly man. He should definitely put on some clothes x3
DyneWulf
2019-02-02 18:20:32 +0000 UTCIt was a really nice touch. Very dad-like ;3
DyneWulf
2019-02-02 18:20:12 +0000 UTCits cute how you have Richard and maria in the background, nice touch.

2019-02-02 18:18:38 +0000 UTCAnother minor thing I found: * Day 23: while having MC in just his shorts the whole day is sexy, I don't think this is an appropriate outfit, according to the university's rules of conduct :-p
Kernog
2019-02-02 11:39:07 +0000 UTCI definitely like how Richard is like showing everything in that picture I cannot wait until he becomes available.

2019-02-02 05:34:05 +0000 UTCThank you so much! We'll definitely keep it going ;)
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:44:42 +0000 UTCHaha, I miss some of those things. Chester's is the most notorious for it, since my dialog code is "Ches_r" for when speaking, if I do a find and replace for "Ches" to "Ches_r" (to fix dialogue boxes faster), it'll also pick parts in the dialogue where they call Chester, Ches. Though, typing this out reminded me of a way that I might be able to avoid that for future housekeepings... Anyway, thank you!
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:44:02 +0000 UTCLet's just hope things keep getting better for him, cause his eye is still janky! We had to have the whole cast on there now, and they all fit together so perfectly. Lots of adjustments really bring whole new life to it all, right?
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:41:36 +0000 UTCThanks thanks! A lot went into this update, and I'm glad it shows!
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:33:49 +0000 UTCUhhh.. 40% or so. I still have to do Chester, Darius and Dozer, and that'll knock out the most tedious parts. From there, it's just refining as I get new assets.
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:33:25 +0000 UTCSidenote: "due to spending extra time at the doctor with my boyfriend lately". Im curious as to the context. Nothing serious I hope?

2019-02-01 22:33:25 +0000 UTCThe word id use to describe this update is "crisp". Love the new splash screen and finally main menu music too! But Spencer's eyes look creepy when the image is only a thumbnail, like he has tiny glasses lol. But overall the project is starting to take its "official" shape which is great.

2019-02-01 22:32:32 +0000 UTCAhaha, it can look like a mess until they are all resized.
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:31:53 +0000 UTCThank you, and yeah, the title screen is fantastic! GerBear did an excellent job with it
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:31:22 +0000 UTCThanks so much!
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:31:04 +0000 UTCIf you click next, it seems to go... forever X3 I dunno what the limit is!
DyneWulf
2019-02-01 22:30:55 +0000 UTCOMG you did a great job, I love the new update at the interface, it looks so clean and nice!!! The logo looks great!. I noticed too that the MC changes according to the customization you did on each route. Great job and keep it up!!!
Tore91
2019-02-01 19:49:44 +0000 UTCGod, this is such a fantastic update! Not just the menu, but all these changes in spencer's route as well have me looking forward to more expression updates for him in the future! I recently replayed through his route before the update, and those small things that stood out to me made very happy. Attention to details. Although some of the text seems to be broken? Noticed it on chester route also. Sometimes when there are supposed to be character names there is an underscore line. "Ches_r", "Spen_r". Not sure if it was already reported, but it started happenening on spence's route this update, so, yeah. Wishing all the best to the two of you as well o/
2019-02-01 19:43:54 +0000 UTCI'm very relieved paul is better now that new title is AMAZING and I love spencer's new outfit, so he wears that shirt (i totally want one in real life) over his dance leotard haha. all the character's poses and placements feel very organic too, so glad to see richard there now annnd look at them arms >:3 even having the MC's skin tone change in the title screen based off the last load, that's incredible i didn't even know that could be a thing. ooooo more save slots and their save slot pics are bigger too nice +___+ these are all marvelous quality of life improvements holy crap @__@

2019-02-01 19:03:44 +0000 UTCEveryone looks so good in the tittles screen especially my cute doggo Spencer.(face so cute in this) and I'm glad there is a tittle screen music. AWESOME PROGRESS

2019-02-01 18:50:46 +0000 UTCHow much of the house keeping is done percentage wise?
Brogatar
2019-02-01 18:39:04 +0000 UTCEdit: nevermind, it was the screenshot size that determined the size. New saves do not have the box collapse issue. Quick feedback on the save/load UI. The way the filled boxes are collapsed and the empty are still at default size is a little clunky when you have saves dispatched on the screen, like I do (I save "normal" saves from the upper left, and "smutty scenes" saves from the bottom right). In my opinion, it'd be preferable if slots with saves kept the same size.
Kernog
2019-02-01 18:37:26 +0000 UTCI love the new title screen. Best wishes of recovery for your boyfriend.
Kernog
2019-02-01 18:21:14 +0000 UTCEven if it's only housekeeping it's still a lot of amazing stuff. Thanks for all the hard work that you put into this amazing game. Hope everything is well with the boyfriend as well!
