v1.1 Final event. 7 new Random events Fixed some incorrect location tags on a couple of the previous randoms Typos Made secondaries locked behind quests that in turn required the western event, state that in the log. Full Release v0.23 Riazen. This week I thought I would do two things, first I’m going to put up a poll for the first character reveals. I thought we’d start with a group first so go vote on the other post if you would prefer to see either the Angels, the Demons or the staff members. The results will be revealed between the release of v.23 and christmas, with an image of the winners and a small bit of information on each one. Secondly I thought I’d just briefly mention that Riazen will not feature an overarching story with a big bad to face down at the end. The story so to speak will instead focus on the characters themselves, and how they grow and develop as people. Not having a looming threat, other than end of year exams perhaps, give us more room to really lean into character development more and that is what the focus of Riazen shall be. v0.22 Version 0.22 is coming along well, all writing and renders are done with animation coming along nicely, since this will be the penultimate update I have given each of the secondary characters an extra quest and all characters have at least one animated scene. Making this the largest update yet, honestly I’m surprised I’ve managed to stay on schedule with it. Release is currently on time for around 21st of november. As for this month's Riazen tease. (It’s pronounced -rye- as in the bread and -zen- as in the state of mind, if anyone was wondering). I thought I would share an early look at some of the location work. Complete with some rather crude planning notes, it is still very much a work in progress. For the current game I created almost all of the locations in studio using premade assets, with a couple of areas like Violet and Charlotte's offices being a premade map that I added a couple of additions to. For Riazen I am changing things up and making everything from scratch in blender, hopefully this will serve to improve not just the quality of the location, but also allow me to make them exactly how I envisioned and improve the overall cohesiveness of each location. This is my first time using blender, but i have to say I'm pretty happy with how it’s been coming along. Though creating all the locations will certainly be the single largest investment of time for the game's preliminary development. And Finally I would like to thank BipedClub60084 for becoming my latest patron. I really appreciate the support. v0.21 22 new quests and fixed some typos. No big patch notes for this update, except for a possible rare bug with the pool even not starting. I believe this is fixed now but if you ran into the issue and are stuck at the start of the event, then you will probably need to restart. I apologise for the inconvenience. v0.20 22 new quests Locked all hands to meeting to after Amy is injured to prevent her being referenced as in the tank before she actually is. Fixed yumi’s quest failing to continue after her first kiss if you were on the non lesbian route. A big issue that went unnoticed far too long, so I apologise about that. Guess it goes to show how few people play the non-lesbian route. Fixed Abby’s interaction at the start of the pool event having Amy's name on the text box instead of hers. Fixed some grammatical errors in the pool event. fixed some errors with the lab quests. v0.19 22 new quests, two for each character, And three new random events one of which require the lesbian content without the main character to be turned on. Some minor fixes mostly typos. v0.18 New pool day event roughly the same size as a regular update. 3 new random quests two of which require the lesbian content without the main character to be turned on. Multiple fixes. Patch notes. Removed all non ascii characters from the script this may not do anything as it was all in script but may make things more stable in the long run. Fixed a handful of Typos. Fixed a bug that caused Lillie/Rose, Winona and Talia’s quest logs to erroneously show that their quests were blocked. Fixed Winona’s questlog stating you needed to progress with violet when lillie and rose were in fact needed instead. Adjusted some quest logs. Quest locks, I have prevented multiple quests from triggering out of sequence, some of these use existing variables, so they will cause no compatibility issues. A couple of them require a new variable so will cause errors if you are saved between the quest that sets a new variable and the one that requires it. If you are up to date or new to the game, then this will cause you no issues, but if you are saved before the end of the last update you will need to play through all of the affected content before updating or alternatively, start over. The adjusted content is from 5-6 updates ago so I imagine most people are long past these quests and won't be affected by this. The locked quests that use existing variables , and will therefore cause no issues for anyone, are as follows. -Locked Sara's introduction to Lillie and rose to after you first meet them in Talia's quest. -Locked some of Amy's quest progression behind the western event. -Locked Sara and the girls planning cosplay behind the quest where the MC tells Emma about it. -Moved the lock on debriefing Charlotte after the western event to be after taking Winona to the lab instead of the western event itself. -Locked Talia and Winona using the MC’s computer to book Cecilia's date to after they discuss doing so in Cecilia's quest. -Locked Amy getting out of the healing tank to after Charlotte's all hands meeting quest. -Added a missing variable to winona’s first bj, now she’ll only mention seeing cecilia topless if this quest is played after the second poker night quest. The following quests required new variables and will break the game if you load a save set after the quest that sets the variable but before the quest that is locked by it. -Locked telling Abby about her interview with Charlotte to after speaking to Charlotte about it, and the heat wave event. -Locked violets first visit to the home behind Charlotte's quest where you ask for them all to visit. This should hopefully be all of the quest issues fixed now, though please let me know if you find any other issues. v0.17 22 New quests as usual and some fixes to certain quests triggering out of sequence. Patch notes: Updated Some Quest logs. Locked certain secondary quests behind the western event such as reporting to Charlotte and installing the dampners. Locked speaking to Amy about getting a cat to after Talia actually asking for one. I think this is all of the quests fixed but if you find any other quests that seem to be out of place (Or any other bugs for that matter) please do let me know. If you are up to date or new to the game these fixes will cause you no issues, the western related ones all use pre-existing variables so shouldn’t cause any issues for anyone. However if your save takes place after Talia asking for a cat but before speaking to Amy about it this will cause you an issue. You can get around it with either a new save or continuing to play on the older version until you have spoken to Amy about the cat then it will be safe for you to update. v0.16 Fixed an issue in the replay gallery that could cause an error when moving to any page that contained replays from version 15. Added music to some side character quests that were missing it. Added a lesbian prompt to the gallery scenes that have optional lesbian content allowing you to select which version of the scene you want to see in the replay gallery. Fixed a few Typos. Updated the exclamation mark prompts in the quest log, they will now show as green when a character has another quest but it is currently being blocked by an additional character's quest. The character log itself will still show the specific blocker. Fixed an issue where completing the quests for any single character in the others section of the quest log would cause the exclamation mark to stop showing over the ‘others’ button in the quest log. Adjusted Emma’s quest log slightly. v0.15 22 new quests including an animated H-scene for almost every character. Fixed a few typos. v0.14 22 new quests (2 Each) 2 new randoms a slight quest log update and precisely 100% more cats. Notes Cleared up some confusion on one of Sara's quest logs by adding the exact location to trigger the quest. It previously stated just ‘upstairs’ as it originally triggered in the upstairs hall but was moved with the movement update now the log reflects that correctly. Added missing music to 2 of sara’s quests. Questlog now features the name of the character above the box with the quest details. Added an exclamation mark next to the quest log button if any characters have available quests, when in the quest log the icon will also appear next to any specific character that has a quest. Note this does not take into account if a quest is temporarily blocked by another quest, but that will still be reflected in the character log itself. I plan to update this system to better show temporarily blocked quests in the future, and make it show that the quest is being held up with out the need to go into the character log itself. v0.13 22 new quests Fixed a few typos. New casual quest log outfits for violet, amy, lillie and rose. v0.12 12 New quests Implemented the new UI. Fixed some typos. Removed a few duplicate images. Minor intro alterations to reflect the new UI. Added a unique portrait, in the fast travel system, for the second of the smaller empty rooms upstairs that previously shared an image with the other room. v0.11 V.11 is here with the continuation of the western event from v.10. v0.10 fixed a few Typos. New content. Like the last event it is a single entity with no sandbox, and is approximately 50% bigger than the heatwave event. Should be roughly the same size as a standard update. UI. This is the last call for any ui feedback as I am about to start work on v.12, the update that will bring the changes. (v.11 is pretty much done and should have it's patreon release today.) v0.9 Fixed some typos. 20 new quests 12 main, 8 secondary. Trying a new ‘semi animation’ meaning scenes with no text now auto play through the renders without the need of player input, be warned if you do press anything during these scenes it will skip to the end. Let me know if you like this or prefer the previous ‘manual’ system. Fixed an error that could occur in the replay gallery if you tried to look at a page containing a locked replay. v0.8.1 22 new quests, 12 main, 10 secondary. Two new random quests. Added music. Each main character has their own selection of songs that are based on their origins, bar sara for obvious reasons. Sara and the secondary characters have a separate more generic selection of songs. With the sandbox section using the music from the previous quest. As always let me know what you think. Slight rework of the introduction, mostly an extention of the particularly short earlier quest and a few new renders. Locked some quests featuring Abby behind the quest where you learn her name to prevent inconsistency, if you are saved after the quest where you learn her name but before the newly locked quests it will require you to restart. Though these quests are all from around v0.2 so you should all be fine. Fixed some typos Fixed some background errors in some renders. v0.7.1 N/A v0.6 Corrected some typos in the intro. Some minor code improvements that’ll help with the code's overall efficiency and stability in the long run. Overhauled the random quest system, the previous system could temporarily hold up main quests happening in the same location, when a random quest could trigger but was prevented by the ‘random’ element. If the quest log told you to go to a specific location but when you did, you found an empty room then this is why but it is fixed now. Added the randomiser element to some random quest that didn’t have it. (Random quests created after I first noticed the hold up issue were not given the randomizer to prevent hold ups as that issue is fixed the randomizer has been re-added.) v0.5 -Added the first ‘Event’, triggered by going to sleep if all main character quests from previous updates are complete, while this is one event it is roughly the same length as a regular update. -Fixed one of the gallery thumbnails being a different size to the others. -Integrated the “loopfix” patch that hopefully fixes any looping issues, if you already have the loop bug it may require a new game or atleast reverting to a previous save. also fixes a bug in one of yumi’s quests. v0.4.1 New content. 24 new quests 18 for main 6 for side characters 3 new randoms Fixes and tweaks. Removed textbox from ‘montage’ sections. Fixed error that occurred in entering Sara's room if you progressed her quests in advance of Emma's. Updated quest logs to show if a quest requires another quest to be completed first. Slight tweaks to the intro adding transitions. Tweaked the intro to prevent quests from starting until the introductions were finished. Fixed a few typos. Altered Yumi’s speech patterns slightly to be more inline with my original intentions. Fixed a random event not firing correctly. v0.3 12 new quests for the main characters. The proper introduction of all side characters with 12 new quests for them. The new movement system previewed above, new locations including the downstairs pool and the time agency. the first animated scenes (this was my first attempt at animation so they're not perfect but I intend to improve over time.) a replay gallery. (thanks to badmustard for making his code available.) and a fix to the bonus scene gallery Unfortunatly due to some errors in the variables this update may require a fresh start to get everything. I appologise for this and will endevour to prevent such errors in the future. v0.2 Movement system: The movement system has had a UI overhaul to make the system easier to use, non applicable directions are now greyed out and unclickable and hovering over a direction now tells you exactly where it will take you. It should also be noted that if you wish to turn around in the rear hall you can do so by entering and then leaving the room on the right (bathroom or mc’s room) then leaving, this will drop you at the other end of the hall. I will watch for feedback on the update and possibly do an overhaul of the entire system in the future if needed. New quest type, Random event: These are events that don’t appear in the quest log and will trigger randomly once certain triggers are met. There are currently three in game. This may require a new save to function correctly, I apologise for any inconvenience and shall attempt to avoid the need for new saves in the future. Quest Log outfits: The first of the unlockable outfits in the quest log is now implemented and can be unlocked via one of the random quests. Once unlocked the outfit can be changed with the numbers below the character portrait. Bonus gallery: Added a gallery for bonus images that are unlocked by certain quests. Unfortunately it is currently bugged and won't unlock the images, I shall be continuing to work on this in future updates. New location: The upstairs of the house is now implemented and fully traversable, it can be accessed by moving forward when in the rear hall facing the stairs up. (downstairs should be added in the next build.) Character Quests: Each main character has 4 new quests with the exception of Yumi who has three as she had one extra in the first build making for 23 new character quests. v0.1 - Initial Release.
