Chapter Eight (0.08.0) Update #2 (Patreon)

Still plugging away. About 2/3rds of the way through the update, if the database can be believed. In terms of workload, Chapter Eight is pretty lengthy, purely because of how many of the scenes have variants based on previous choices and the girls' stats. Also, there is a conversation that can happen at different times/locations based on player choice with differing reactions from Carol and Naomi.  

The last third is going to be a pretty extensive build, so I figure between that and the inevitable reshoots/rewrites, I'll be deep in the work for the next week or two before I have an alpha build.

One technical change for 0.08.0: Based on feedback, there have been some minor tweaks to the way text is rendered. Name tags and body text now have a drop shadow (see top picture below - left is original, right is new). Also, I've added an outline for the red name text so that it's a bit more readable (or at least I hope it is). While the example below (bottom picture) may not be great, there are a couple spots in the game where the red text becomes a little difficult to read. 

Link text in the game--which is also red--has been changed to a different color to make it more legible.

Also, while it won't make it into 0.08.0, I'm looking into re-encoding some of the animations to improve their clarity. In the effort to improve animation quality for android players, I had to run the videos through one too many conversions. Boring technical explanation aside, I'm looking to reconvert the current animations to update them over the next few releases (as times permits). 

Thanks for your support.
