The Quiet Song of Plants

QSOP - v1.1.3 2026-09-01 What's New New minigames: "Toss the Hares", "Fruit Catching" (fling hares to the bound fox on an arc). New NSFW scenes and branching: Inari, Akhves, and the fox (Ferah/Zizi) routes with more choices and lustier dialogue. Conditional choices can now be shown greyed-out with an "unavailable" explanation / hint text. Effects/stat values can now be used as variables inside dialogue lines (e.g. {knife_owner}), like playerName. New fullscreen image animations: vertical bottom-to-top pan (stops at top), looping vertical pan with smooth ease-in/out and end pauses, horizontal zoom-pan loop, and a "flash orgasm soft" effect. Revisited player stats flow and effect clarity across choices and progression. Overall game polish pass across UI, dialogue presentation, and interaction feel. Done Fruit Catching: added touchscreen support (touchstart/touchmove), "perfect" result registration to match other minigames, scaled up basket/fruit sizes, and updated the pinned item images (birds, salamanders, scorpions, insects, termites). Path Brushing: cached the scaled background into an offscreen canvas so each frame blits 1:1 instead of re-scaling the large image every frame; added reverse-path support; made the timer indicator non-interactive. Toss the Hares: added Android/coarse-pointer size scaling for hares and hit circles, calm-level-based heart sizing, and removed hit-spawn circles / image shift on hit. Minigames: hide the back button once gameplay starts (instructions "Start"); guarded restart/re-entry so render loops, timers, and injected path scripts are cleaned up instead of stacking. Intro video: skip with Spacebar or Right Arrow; listener only attached while a video is playing. Gated verbose [AudioDiag] logging behind an AUDIO_DIAG toggle (off by default) and removed an expensive stack-trace capture. Smoother characterUpdate transitions (previous sprite cross-fades out) and correct trimmed-image usage for characterUpdate arrays. Renamed scene ids to use underscores consistently (including choices). Fixed Path Brushing lag: the minigame re-scaled the full-size background WebP every frame, which fell back to CPU raster (very visible with DevTools open) — now scaled once and cached. Minigame restart freeze: restart used a stale scene reference; now uses this.currentScene. musicTrack.fadeIn / musicControl "fade" not applying on regular navigation. Delayed SFX not restored on dev-reload / load-from-save (looping SFX only). Cache invalidation for large (untrimmed) character images when toggling image size. build_production now includes character expressions that live in characters trimmed. Decisions Cache static, per-frame-invariant canvas content (backgrounds) instead of redrawing it every frame — the standard fix for canvas games. Keep audio diagnostics available but disabled by default so production/normal play isn't slowed by retained console logs. Keep minigames fully optional/skippable; treat the back button as unavailable once a run is in progress. Notes The DevTools-open lag on brushing was a per-frame compute cost (image scaling), not a memory leak; it only affected brushing because it's the only minigame redrawing a large scaled background each frame. The Android "music repeats over and over" bug on continuation:true scenes is still not fully pinned down; the [AudioDiag] toggle can be re-enabled to investigate via chrome://inspect. Long playthroughs still raise GPU/renderer memory (working set), which a page reload doesn't fully reclaim — worth a repeated enter/exit memory check to rule out leaks. Next Optionally bake completed paths into the background cache to further cut brushing per-frame cost. Continue Chapter 2 content and the new fox character route. Resolve the Android looping-music bug on continuation:true scenes. make the large video file cloud based QSOP - v1.0.0 2026-08-02 What’s New Character images: 20 (new emotions, quality adjustments, and consistency improvements) New overlay visuals: 60 (enhancing the existing game) Improved SFX and soundtracks: 20 fixes Sex scenes: 3 improved scenes with more meaningful (and lustier) conversations, plus more choices and branching Done Added a new UI style: light mode Revisited all minigames: They were a big hindrance, so I completely reworked them to be easier, more enjoyable, and more accessible. Minigames are now fully optional and skippable — perfect for those who want to jump straight to their favorite character’s scenes. Added new overlay images that appear column by column Organized UI buttons Fixed User Interface fixes: 15+ (button and text improvements for both mobile and PC) Bug fixes: 30+ (ranging from minor to major) Punctuation and story improvements: 200+ Fixed the weird play button that appeared at the start of videos on Android Decisions Keep the UI panel at the bottom for screens with small height Made the story more readable and less poetic/wordy Notes There seems to be a weird bug on Android where music repeats over and over; I haven’t been able to pin it down yet. It seems to occur only on scenes with continuation:true. Addressing the elephant in the room: the large video file for the hallucinations scene. Compression didn’t work because it significantly reduces quality. One possible fix is to stream the video from the internet and fall back to a background with effects when there’s no internet connection. Next Finish Chapter 2 Add credits for the new music used in the game Need a new background video for the main menu Revamp the main menu style Add a new character: the fox from the poll v0.1.3 QSOP - v0.1.3 2026-07-04 Whats New Android is now playable(tested on the phone + android studio). Wola minigame made easier to play. Improved scene jump reliability from Unlocked Scenes. Bug fixes and UI improvements. Made characters larger(toggable in the settings. Default: true). Done Adjusted quiz question width to match answer button width. Increased spear throw speed on phone/coarse-pointer devices while keeping desktop speed unchanged. Lowered path brushing top bars (progress + intensity) for better spacing on phone screens. Fixed Unlocked scene thumbnails now resolve background paths more robustly. Jumping to unlocked scenes now restores context more safely, reducing cases where characters failed to appear. Hid path brushing Progress/Paths HUD indicators on mobile as requested. Decisions Keep mobile tuning isolated to phone/coarse-pointer checks to avoid changing desktop balance. Prefer layout tweaks in game-specific code paths over global style changes when issue is minigame-specific. Notes Some scenes still rely on continuation/keep flags and can feel context-sensitive when jumped to directly. Mobile offsets may still need small per-minigame tuning after broader device testing. Need a global way of checking if the device is mobile. Next Improve image quality and dialog lines. Add more choices. Add more overlay images for better user experience.
