Day 2 Prepare progress.
While it is still in progress, there are a few things I have done and things I am planning to do. Ultimately, Preparing is a transition between Day 2 to Night 2, and a good part of it occurs at the Darling Moonshine. One thing I am trying to avoid is Oh, they are just there.
[h2]The ButterFly Mini-Game[/h2]
This one took me a little bit of time to figure out how I wanted to present it and get over how much it hurts to do it . A long long time ago, I was on the High School Swim Team. Not very good, but enough to realize how difficult each stroke is to perform. The reason why Coach gives Eric X number of Butterfly laps (if you trigger that) is because of how difficult it is. At the same time, did not want to make it too difficult to distract from the story.
[h2]Fae Appearances[/h2]
So far, we have seen Amy mostly appear like a normal person. At the Darling Moonshine, she is under no such obligation, so I used some of the options (and clothing styles) to fit her well. And, she gets even bossier.
[h2]Fun with steam[/h2]
There is a section for Bria here, and this one I had to specially craft to make a point about how hot she is. Daz Studio had updated over the years with physical steam (vs. planes with transparencies) and decided to have fun with that.
[h2]Consolidating some choices into new dictionaries[/h2]
This does not directly affect previous chapters as I leave those in to avoid breaking anything with saves. In Preparing, the first thing it will do is put those values into unique dictionaries (i.e ericroberts, briaconnell, etc). The biggest reason is to make it easier to transfer it to a multipersistent. TLDR: Multi-persistent can exist between Two or More Renpy VNs. So when I am done with New Day (still got Night 2, Day 3 and Night 3 to do), I can start work on the next VN that continues this. Going for an interactive Graphic Novel.
Rather than:
$mp.something = HUNTING DOWN THE dictionary for it!
It is:
$mp.briaconnell = briaconnell
And
$bria.connell = mp.briaconnell
A nice clean way to transfer.
