Chapter 4 Minor Updates

Hey guys 👋 So, for the past week, other than finishing the side stories, I've also been busy fixing some stuff on Chapter 4. All of these fixes have gone live right now and they are just minor ones.

3 January 2023:

Finished adding the Character Guide entries for Santana and Skylar in the Stat Screen.

Added emotionless responses to Skylar’s flirtations.

Fixed a couple of coding errors and some typos and grammatical errors.

7 January 2023:

Added some little flavour texts for MCs who chose to dress up for the meeting with the CEO (available for MC who chose casual, edgy, and streetwear clothing style).

Some more little coding bug fixes that caused some flavour texts to not show up. Specifically pertaining to flavour texts for those who chose lovehate for Yvette and for those who didn’t hate her in Chapter 1, your MC will offer her a drink too and there are some really minor flavour texts with her and her drink. For the lovehate one, there are two short paragraphs of flavour text missing when she cried after MC asked her whether she regretted what she did.

Also, check out my intro post on the COG Forum! I have some polls there regarding the ROs and Yvette! Please consider on casting your votes! 😁

For those interested in reading the previously missing lovehate flavour texts without having to replay it, I'll paste them below the cut (they'll be the one in bold letters, the other paragraphs are there for further context):

She takes a deep breath before finally revealing the answer you’ve been looking for. “Yes… I think I do regret my decisions. I don’t really know when the thought really started brewing in my head, but honestly… I have not been that satisfied with the state of my life right now. This is supposed to be my dream life, but I haven’t been able to enjoy it for years now.” Her voice quivers until it finally becomes a full-blown sobbing. “And I’m starting to think I might have ended up being happier right now if I had just taken Viktor’s offer to marry me decades ago instead of pursuing… this.”

You blink. You’re not sure what to do as you let her cry her heart out. She has been so distant that the only image of her that you have in mind is probably her superhero persona that she uses in public. To see this more… human side of her unsettles you.

Her admission, however, leaves a bad taste in your mouth as you realize that you could’ve had the perfect and complete life as a family with both your mother and father, could’ve gotten the motherly affection you’ve been yearning. If only she had made the right decision all those years ago, which she didn’t.

You want to be angry at her, to lash out, but it quickly dies down as you see her slight and trembling figure. For a second, you thought about reaching over to comfort her, but quickly changed your mind. She doesn’t deserve it, right? You grit your teeth and ball your fists to stop yourself from caving in to the guilt and glare pointedly at the far wall instead.

Did you update the dashingdon files recently? There are new variables in the prologue (met[character name]) it seems, but these variables must not have been set in the startup.txt, thus resulting in an error, when you choose what character you want to meet in the end of the demo 🥲

I did!! So sorry for this, I forgot to upload the updated startup.txt file.

It's fixed now and thanks for the ask!! 🥰

Minor Update 7/20/23 - Made some edits and bugfixes. The biggest was a missing variable that prevented Echebar from joining you and N on the tour in chapter four, but it's fixed now.

Not sure anyone toured with Ech in the first place, though. 😅 Is his character annoying? Or do y'all just prefer some alone time with N? 👀

Minor Demo Update (No New Content!)

​Hi everyone, 

I've updated the demo once again but not with any new content - this is mainly to address some readability issues with the cosmetics selection in the early sections of the game that I was made aware of recently.

Hair colour and texture options have been put in the same page now, as well as having a subtitle on that page to signify its purpose like with name selection. I hope this improves readability and findability for these particular elements. 

This isn't something worth restarting for as it doesn't change any variables, only when they appear in the story. If you're starting fresh you will notice the change though.

sorry haven’t been posting much came out to my sister which I had already done like 3 times at this point and had an extreme panic attack where I lashed out on everyone and was shaking and gagging like I was legit going feral lmao (unrelated to coming out to my sister)

soon I’ll be back to my boring ass shitposting

[speakergame]

It was a very long time coming, but the last part of chapter 3 is finally out to my betas and patreon! That means it’ll be released into the wild next Wednesday, May 18th! 👀 Thank you all for your patience, the wait is almost over now!

There is an official poster that has FNAF movie Freddy and Frankenstein at the same time (among other horror icons).

...And I think my Springtrap might’ve just spontaneously burst into firework sparks.

(Thanks to Fnaf Updates & News on Twitter for the find, but I’m not on Twitter soo I guess I’m not going to be able to accurately link it this time.)

[atrial-ofhorror-if]

Trying to get this god-forsaken update out before BG3 comes to XBOX...

because if you think I've been missing now, wait til I get my clammy little hands on that jewel 🥴🥴🥴

minor update to Erestor’s bio:

In the second age he’s not primarily an advisor anymore. He works as the head librarian now, and it’s his work as Spymaster that brings him onto Gil-Galad’s council.

[aequitas-if]

So update (minor for you all but major for me) I’m considering changing Vesper’s power. While I do like it, I have come to the realization that I don’t necessarily think it “fits” with the direction I want to take their character.

I haven’t completely decided yet but it is definitely something that may happen so I just want to give you all a heads up if you’ve read their character profile because their power may end up being different in game.

[dungeonmalcontent]

I'm trying out some more particular monster encounters. Instead of "encounter with the boom goblin" it'd be more like "encounter with Dave the Mad Haberdasher". So far, looking like it takes a decent amount more time and is far more mentally taxing. However, the docs are better.

So we'll see. I'm already being slowed down a lot by being away from my work station for most of a week, might as well take the slow work with some experimentation.

Quick September update! The Cheat card game minigame is now done, aside from some minor playtesting and art assets such as a proper background image and card artwork. I’ll most likely be working on that this weekend.

Other than that, the next step for me is to get myself back into bug fixing... as well as working on implementing more story scenes/general game progress. We have a few drafted up in script form that I’m itching to put in the game.

We are drawing ever closer to November, the point at which some of the scheduling/life issues preventing me from dedicating the kind of work hours I was putting into Wishbone around the beginning of the year should (hopefully) abate. My scheduling has already improved greatly in the last month or so and it’s been feeling good to be able to block out time for Wishbone properly again, but it still could be better.

Hope you guys have been doing well and had a good summer!

Slight update post

Redbubble confuses me and like, told me my uploads will show after 5 days as it seems.

[I uploaded all designs of Metal Gear stickers yesterday - excluding BB because I don't think I will be able to get him ready by time.]

If you or anyone knows how to work with RB, let me know!

So for now I might either rest, focus on irl things and also get started on commission WIPs, WIPs of other drawings, etc.

Minor Update - Expanded Scene

Hey all! I’ve made a minor update to In the Cards. No new chapter yet - that’s still in the works - but here are some changes:

Expanded R’s scene in the chapter 2 autumn festival. Now you can have a proper conversation and even flirt a bit! (Or attempt to antagonize. They’re a hard one to annoy, though, so good luck.)

Changed up the auras of Arren and the tabby-cat-fae for clarity and to better suit their personalities.

Changed gender variables to numerical for ease of coding (can’t remember why I didn’t do this in the first place… temporary insanity?)

Fixed variables for asexual option in chapter 1

Misc. typo/grammar corrections
