Patch Update #01 - v1.0.1


Well, after a rocky start, I present to you the first patch update (v1.0.1)!

-----Changelog-----

  • Added a persistent variable so that the disclaimer does not appear every time you hit "Start". This does not void the disclaimer, and you still agree to the Terms & Conditions of playthrough should you continue to play this game
  • Re-routed all Game Over screens to jump immediately to the Main Menu rather than force you to sit through the splashscreen. You will still be redirected to the splashscreen after watching the credits
  • Changed some minor dialogue at the very beginning of Night 2 (James' Path) to correct a grammatical error
  • Halved the amount of choices needed to advance an hour in Night 4 from 20 to 10 in order to decrease time spent on Night 4. As such, you will now need to download 15 packages instead of 22. If this is genuinely inachievable, let me know as soon as possible (and to clarify, yes it is possible to achieve at least 22 packages in v1.0)
  • Fixed a bug where the Chapter 2 selection screens would reset the wrong value, causing the player to load in the incorrect spot
  • Inserted a loading point for James' Path in Night 2
  • Added a skip button to the Computer Startups (Tutorial & Night 4), Camera Tape, Court Intro, Objection Scenes in Night 5, and Credits. This is located in the bottom-left corner. You will need to watch the videos at least once before you can skip, and starting a new game will reset your ability to skip the videos. The Computer Startup videos in both the Office Tutorial and Night 4 are considered separate and will need to be viewed once separately before you can skip them.
  • Increased the time of the Court Intro video by 0.3 seconds to fix the early cutoff of the video. It is not perfect, and you will notice the cutoff, but you can just deal for now since I'm not going all-out perfectionist for one simple transition.

-----Known Issues-----

  • The player cannot load the pause menu (pressing Esc) whilst watching a video. I genuinely cannot fix this at the moment, but I'll see what I can do.
  • I have had a report that you cannot hear the audio for the tape in the Office Tutorial. This was recorded in 2020 and is not essential to the plot, so I'm ignoring it for now.
  • Few videos have some quirks here and there (i.e. fading from black when they shouldn't; Ren'Py text boxes embedded inside with incorrect font size). These will be fixed later.
