Re: Version 3.1 (Spanish translation & more!)
Hey!
I finally have time (& energy!!) to talk about the NEW changes in this update. 😌😊
Since I was changing many things in the game, like the GUI, the script, a full translation to spanish and new images (for the GUI), I decided to simply skip version 2 and go straight to version 3 because, with all these changes, it was pretty much a HUGE update that was A LOT different from version 2.
There were some things I wanted to change or improve but didn’t because of time and energy. But I think these changes are enough to say it’s a whole new version! 🤔😌
(This list is also for me, to keep a record of all the changes! Bc I tend to forget things!! 🥴😮💨)
So here they are!!!
GUI
- The buttons on the Main Menu have been changed to fit with the rest of the GUI. Now, they are bigger and with a stroke, to stand out!
-
- I wanted to change these buttons since ever I realeased the game bc I realized the main menu buttons were vastly different from the rest of the GUI. But back then, I didn’t have the time/energy to change this little thing. The game itself was more important to release, so I just leave it like that until now!
-
- The difference is because these buttons were made VERY early in development, while the rest of the GUI took form in the last year. So obviously, my mind changed directions about the design of the game during the process. 🫡
- The buttons from the Game Menu also changed. Not so much in the design, as you can see, but to make them bigger and to stand out more! This also helped me when I had to make the spanish translations for these buttons.
-
- I also wanted to make new buttons (but with the same design in mind) because the settings of how I made the old ones are completely lost!! I didn’t know the font-type, the graphic (the little green emerald square) and how much was the shadow below the letters. I usually keep these kind of things saved but I couldn’t find it anywhere. So I simply decided to go ahead and make it all over again! 😄🫡
- The GUI buttons have been all translated to spanish! 😋
- There’s now a NEW section in the Options screen called “Extra”. It has the “Language” and “Gallery” screens.
-
- I will forever regret how SMALL the Options screen is!! OTL I was tempted to just do a whole new GUI but that would’ve taken MORE time and energy that I didn’t have. So I just made a bit of space for this new Extra section. 🫡
- I added again the Volume bar for the Voice channel. (important!!)
-
- Tbh, I didn’t even realize this bar was missing until my hubby pointed it out!🥴🫡 So this is thanks to him! 🥰😌
-
- Why was it removed in the first place? I have no idea, it was so long ago. 🫡
- I also added the Skip button in the Quick Menu. (it was removed but I don’t remember why??????? lmao)
- I added the Auto Advance option in the Accessibility Menu. This is because there are certain parts in the story where the Quick Menu is absent, so if you wanted to turn Auto Advance during those scenes… well, you couldn’t. But now you can! ^^
- I added the Self Voicing option in the Accessibility Menu.
-
- You could still turn it on with the key “V” on the keyboard but I also wanted a button for it! 😌
- Fixed a bug where the slider buttons for the Volume section didn’t move to the left when they were muted.
- The number of fonts decreased by 1! Honestly, a good design shouldn’t have more than 3 fonts together but I used like 6 for this game! (what????!!!) But some of them were already settled so I couldn’t just delete them, or it would’ve broken the GUI. 🤔 So I only managed to delete 1 font and replace another.
- Added a “Skip Credits” button during the credits section! 🥴😮💨
- The Notify small box now appears at the center. Not at top-left corner anymore. I’ll be honest and say I’m really liking this Notify box at the center… 🤔
- The style of the tooltip on the Accessibility screen has changed, to make it more readable. 😌🫡
- Added a Presplash image. You can only see it if you download the game though!
Script
- Fixed some typos on the English version.
- Re-write some phrases to make it more readable and easy to understand what I wanted to convey.
-
- I realized that there were some phrases (like 4 or 5) that I thought it meant X but when I tried to translate them to spanish, I noticed it really didn’t fit the meaning I wanted to express. Yes, it could still be understood in context but they were still a bit confusing. So I re-wrote them, to fit the same meaning in english & spanish.
-
- Note: This is NOT to change the meaning of the phrase. But to make it crystal clear and to avoid confusion. Like I said, these phrases could still be understood in context… but I still wanted to make them clear clear and clear. More clear than clear. (You get me, right? please, say yes!!! 🥴🥺)
- Deleted some “…..” in the script. Seriously, re-reading the script made me realize how much I overused these ellipsis, lmao. I still left many of them bc, 1) I feel some of them were valid in certain scenes 😌 & 2) I want to keep it this way, so in the future, when I re-read this again I can say “why the heck did I use so much these dot-dot-dot ellipsis?”, lmao
- Changed the transition animation that happens when Wyne is introduced. Not only it was tooooooo looooong but I think a simple transition is perfect and enough.
- The script has been 100% translated to spanish! This includes the secret (horror?) route! ^^
- I deleted a secret file (👀!) but it was just one. Removing this file won’t change anything important, so don’t worry! 😌
- The main story is still the same though! These changes were made only to polish the writing a little bit! 😌
I think these are all the changes. I may have forgotten some but if I remember, I’ll let you all know!! 🫡😋
thank you ! ! !
