DEVLOG

Ren'Py Engine Update With the efforts of the creator PyTom and many Ren'Py peoples, I was able to apply an improved engine. Android support, OpenGL and DirectX acceleration, other many fixes and improvements have been applied. I am also currently involved in the Korean translation of the engine. Android After updating the engine I built a new TEEN version for Android. I expected better performance on Android. As expected, it worked great on my test devices. But however, my app has been removed from Google Play because a crash error has been reported.

signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1 (SEGV_MAPERR)

SDL_main


pid: 0, tid: 0 >>> github.io.yggdrasilstudio.kndwteen <<<

backtrace:

I thought it was related with the Adreno GPU(not Ren'Py's fault). And the backtrace, only three lines recorded there. I built the app again, by reducing the size of the presplash image to 800x480(1280x720 before). It worked on the Firebase Test Lab, I re-submitted updated APK to Google Play and it was restored. News System After cool my head, I have prepared a update of the Steam version. As a result, KNDW is now has a news system. It is a way to parse JSON on the web and show it in the program. When the player runs the program, a thumbnail appears at the bottom left of the screen. After click it, the original image and text, and the URL link will be output in the center of the screen.

Deploy updates to all distribution platforms The next thing planned is to update on all our distribution platforms. Both of desktop and mobile platforms, I will update the original and TEEN version. Upcoming Release The first release in this year is Solitaire Minigame DLC. Based on Klondike, the best-known solitaire card game. This mini-game was developed to get donations for the Project DW. It will be released on January 21st, because Taejin need work to translate the hints.

Overview

As a hospital coordinator, Ga-yeon fell in love with a doctor at the hospital she was working in and they had an affair even though the doctor was a married man. When the director found out, she was fired. For over a year she tried to find another job, but her mental uneasiness eventually made her give up and she became a recluse.

A year later, in the spring of 2013, her younger sister, Hye-na, and her first love Yunwoo come to her.

A story about the dark side of today’s youth and serious life events happening around Ga-yeon.
