Feature Request Updates - Major Code Update


Feature Request Updates - Major Code Update

We're about halfway to the next story update, but I've finished most of the requested features and did a major code overhaul in the meantime, there isn't any additional story yet (figure two weeks, maybe a bit longer for that), but in the meantime I wanted to drop all the requested features and get some feedback.

• Intro skip
The intro can now be clicked through entirely, may take a couple clicks (or taps on mobile) due to the transitions, but it works. On PC you can also use any mouse button or hit Enter, Escape, etc. to avoid that issue.
• Interface font
Added a font choice for the entire UI in all versions, now selectable in the preferences/options menu.
All the original fonts except for Courier New and Comic Sans MS have been included. Those made keeping the interface lined up nearly impossible with the others.
• Improved Outline selection
You can now choose the direction of outlines as well as the thickness to help make the font/color choices more customizable and easier to see.
• Panic Button
Added a Panic Button accessible by pressing 'p' or 'P' (to avoid accidental caps lock when tab skipping) and returns to the game using the same button.
The Panic Button brings up a clone of the main menu without any extras that might hint at adult content (I.E the Gallery button)
From the 'panic menu', you can Start a new game in 'Replay' mode which will not lose your current progress (for those extremely nosy people), as well as click 'Help' to abort the game immediately or click 'Quit' to end the game with confirmation, either will save your progress in the first quick slot so you can get back to the game after the moment of panic 😅
Updated the help section to include this accordingly.
• Gallery Update
Added a third button to the gallery type selection at the bottom to prevent the buttons from switching in different sections and confusing people.
• Builds
Made dedicated Standard and Special Edition builds for Subscribers with bonus content so people won't see the images or scenes that they can't unlock to prevent confusion.
• Added a 'Continue' button to the load game menu screen for quick access to your last save (does not use autosaves by design)
• Added a 'Reset' button under the Performance tab in the preferences screen to reset all options to default, the only other method would be to delete persistent data...and we don't want that. - may be required ONCE on mobile to set the UI size properly.
• Made the warning and intro load faster in general.
• Updated the credits in the about section, including an entirely new thanks section to users who helped us and beta tested for us.
• Temporarily Removed the scrolling Tier section in the end credits since we had no subscribers at the time. (sorry Johnny, next time)
• At the end of each version, skipping is halted and you are prompted with the option to save manually (or quit the game) before the credits, the autosave was left intact regardless and saves in the first COMPLETELY empty save slot SCREEN anywhere after page 9.
• Added more insults during credits.
• Laughed...hard. (It's all in good fun)
Enjoy the additions, feel free to send any more suggestions to your friendly neighborhood Dev.
