Hey pals.
This update, like every other update so far, didn't exactly pan out as planned. I was planning to primarily focus on producing customization content for the game and shy away from getting into any serious engineering. That was until I read some innocuous feature requests suggesting that players wanted:
a) for the game to remember their settings between sessions, and
b) some way of removing HD-chan's clothes without returning to the designer.
"Easy", I thought idiotically. I can whip those two features up in an afternoon and get back to haberdashery.
Cut to now, a month on, and those features are done! They simply required me to rewrite the entire game; no biggie.
"Control mode"
Tentatively calling this control mode, partially because you activate it by holding down control on your keyboard.
For now, this mode adds a floating button above HD-chan during gameplay that allows you to remove categories of clothing from her, without entering the designer. As time goes on, I would like to introduce more functionality to this mode to enable smoother gameplay and less menu trawling.
Session memory
More of an abstract concept this so nothing to really demonstrate with a screenshot, but essentially the game now remembers your last session and reloads it on start-up. This includes the character and outfit you were using, and the sidebar menu options you had set. If you fuck something up, you can reset your sidebar settings from the help tab.
I will probably make this behaviour optional in future, if only because it makes debugging the game somewhat more annoying for me.
Menu cool
They're now cooler and more useable, making better use of available space.
"Fuck you Hyperdev this is boring"
Not ALL boring! There's also a new pose!!!
That's exciting! What's also exciting is that automode doesn't work properly for the new pose yet sorry lmao. It'll be fixed up real soon.
"That's more like it fucker"
Yeah there's also a couple of new "colorway" options for some existing clothing items:.
