Hello Everyone! The gravure mode Update (v2.0) will be ready soon! I anticipate releasing it for next weekend.


I had to cut some ideas and features just so I could get this out in a rational amount of time, but I intend to continue updating the game after that's out if possible! I wanted to add in some of the bug fixes and adjustments that I 've been working on now so that you can enjoy some of it for this weekend though, so this current patch (v1.9) includes the following;

• Added Stamina Power Up Snack "Taiyaki" - Gives 60 sec of infinite stamina for running
  
• Added Invincibility Power Up Snack "Dekka Niku" - Gives 60 sec invincibility.
  
• Adjusted photo collection system for the achievement
  
• Fixed Several localization issues
  
• Added a "jizo saver" to the shrine building in the graveyard so that the jizo will respawn if dropped out of bounds.
  
• Fixed an issue where using the call button would prevent Hachishaku from spawning at the beginning of the game. Also increased it's range. (however, calling when inside of a house can confuse the ai, if she gets stuck somewhere please try calling her to reset her behavior!)
  
• Improved Hachishaku's AI is WIP, but it is more stable than before. For gravure mode it will be even better!
  
• Added new voice lines for Hachishaku to make her reactions have more emotion
  
• Improved the footstep sound effects for both Chado-san and Hachishaku
  
• Increased the money received from completing the game
  
• made menus and interactions more stable

Things that will be added with Gravure Mode (all complete but in polishing and testing phase):

• New Map (Lakeside Resort)
  
• Added several new Hachishaku interactions around the Story mode map. (try using the "call" to bring her near certain areas to see if she will interact! Just make sure to hide before she sees you)
  
• New Hachishaku Interactions in both game modes
  
• You can now rotate Hachishaku in the costume menu!
  
• "Gravure Chance" interactions - cutscene style interactions where you can take photos with special lighting and animation. These are hidden spots! Use Call to bring Hachishaku over to any interesting looking areas to start the scene!
  
• Added Screenshot function (uses Q key, but you can also use F12 if you want to save to steam as well as your selected save location)

• (View all 5 gravure chance videos!)
  
• Find all notes in the main game
  
• Take your first photo in gravure mode's Gravure Chance

Things I am still working on for future updates;

• 2 New Costumes models
  
• New Hats
  
• Shrink bomb - Make Hachishaku the height of an average Japanese woman with a new smoke bomb.
  
• Breast and height adjustment sliders in the costume menu
  
• Full gamepad control and SteamDeck support
  
• A few more costumes and alternate colors for current costumes
  
• better Hachishaku teleporting (Adding VFX, adjusting spawn location and logic)

Things I am considering for future updates

• Chado-Man mode - pacman style mini game for collecting money and secret unlocks
  
• Hachishaku Game - Darumasan ga Koronda style game
  
• Alternate map for Gravure mode
  
• Day/Night cycle for Gravure mode to add variety
  
• Hachishakusama Returns! - A mode in a new map where the evil Hachishaku from the past returns to take Chado's soul. Play as Hana-Hachishaku to save Chado-san. (will add new journals and notes to all modes!)

Unfortunately there are some features I have tried to figure out but don't think I can add for this game.I will try my hardest, but they are now low priority because I think they are beyond my ability right now, so I don't want to make a promise that it can be done. If I am able to solve these issues I will at some point!

Key Mapping - It just keeps breaking with my current code and re-working the whole system will take too much work to fix right now. I will 100% solve this for the next game. If I am able to figure out

Hachishaku entering buildings - I've come up with a method that could work, but it will take a little more time to get it working consistently enough that Hachishaku doesn't get stuck inside anywhere. For Now I will consider this as a "maybe in the future". The good news is that In any future game This issue is definitely solved from day 1. The main issue is how big Hachishaku is and how narrow the hallways inside are. So these buildings are just not suited for a giant waifu. Right now she gets stuck in interaction loops if she is too close to other doors.

Thank you all for your support so far! I hope you have been enjoying your time with Hana-chan and Chado-san! Gravure mode should be out next weekend and I am working as hard as I can to fill it with lots of fun content and romance!

PATCH NOTES - VERSION 0.0.0.102
------------------------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW
- Addressing misinformation from previous patch note
- Bug Fixes
- Added Time Limit Feature

------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDRESSING MISINFORMATION FROM PREVIOUS PATCH NOTE
------------------------------------------------------------------

The previous patch notes gave the wrong information on how to
pick the Spread Reaper. Here is the CORRECT information on how
to pick them:

1. Hover over any selectable unit on the select menu
2. Press the teleport button ('x' on Xbox controller)
3 times in a row while holding the LEFT select
button (LEFT bumper or trigger on Xbox controller)
3. It will appear that you only selected the selectable
unit you were hovering over, but you actually picked
the Spread Reaper in secret...


------------------------------------------------------------------
BUG FIXES
------------------------------------------------------------------

- Fixed Gnird's depth
- Fixed section where you could walk through a wall in Ingot
Terra
- Fixed bug where you couldn't select the Spread Reaper while
hovering over the cannon units

------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDED TIME LIMIT FEATURE
------------------------------------------------------------------

- After 5 minutes an enemy third party will appear in the center
of the map to destroy both sides (this is to prevent stalemates
and keep tournament run times consistent)

The main-preview now resembles the aspect ratio of the final render and the thumbnails are now displayed in a horizontal bar at the top, making more room for the main preview.

I also added the possiblity in the renderer to use images (i. e. "true rgba colors") as source of color inside variations.

This was a rather challenging task as there where not free channels to hold this image-rgba-colors (four components). It was done by introducing a new render pass. This render pass is only active when true colors are used and causes the renderer to be little bit slower than using no rgba-colors.

There is also the possiblity to mix the rgba-colors with the fractal iteration color, causing more variation inside the image. To control this, there is a now parameter "image mix value" at the "gradient" section. When set to 0, the fractal color is completely discarded, and only the image-colors are used.

Also, there are tonemapping options to change the color of the used image on the fly (basically the same as used when applying a background image)

And, you can have multiple images inside one fractal.

Complete changelog:
- added an additional render passs to the renderer to support colors coming from
an rgba-image.
- new "image_rect"-variation to use image textures inside of fractals
- added tonemapping-options to the "image_rect"-variation
- added auto-transparency for non-png-textures, used by the "image_rect"-variation.
(auto-transparency sets all pixels with a luminance beloww a vcertain level as transparent.
This is just for helping in playing around with with *.jpg-images, for better results.
Please note, that this parameter is ignored when applying a non-transparent-*.png-image.
you should use *.png's with real transparency)
- new option "image_rect auto transp." in the application settings to specify auto transparency (or disable it)
- added 4 example-images with transparency for use inside the image_rect-variations
- added new "image mix value"-attribute at the gradient section, which defaults to 0.125 (has only
influence when using a variation which sets rgba-colors)
- fixed a bug regarding loading flames and the new custom resolutions
- flame-editor: variations: put resources above attributes (e. g. "image"-parameter in
"image_rect"-variation)
- added 4 more example-images with transparency for use inside the image_rect-variations and made
them accessible as variation-presets
- background-images of flames are now centered by default
- flame-editor: the main-preview now resembles the aspect ratio of the final render
- flame-editor: the thumbnails are now displayed in a horizontal bar at the top, making more room for the main preview
- added custom quality profiles (in the application settings). So you may render at any desired qualily level now
- flame-editor: improved the main-preview (free sizsble, less flickering when switching between sections)
- realtime animation-preview: fixed the initial flickering
- realtime animation-preview: increased the number of initial stabilization iterations
- realtime animation-preview: also respects the flame render aspect ratio

A quick patch for some more fixes and minor improvements. This patch also contains a few run-progression changes in the form of greater baseline Scavengers per expedition and tech drafts that are biased in the player's favor.

This will update NOT clear your in-progress runs, and should actually fix an issue where some runs may have been cleared.
