Move The Chains – Version 0.4

Touted as the nation’s top cornerback, a five-star recruit out of Inglewood with scholarship and NIL offers from some of the top schools in the country, you finally have your goal in sight. Getting yourself and the woman who practically raised you out of the dump you called home. But the reality you worked yourself to the bone to create comes crashing down on the night of the semifinals against Mater Dei.
Changelog:
1,943 renders. Was closer to 1,970, but there were some duds that I didn’t really like or had some major stuff wrong with them. Brings us to a total of 6,100 renders.
11 Daz-made animations
18 AI-Generated animations, 1 of which is a longer one (multiple minutes) that was mentioned above
124 new songs (typically 3 per scene, but longer and shorter will get more/less.), 37 SFX Tracks, most are AI or partially AI generated
Removed glossary button on top-left. Was a bitch to manage. It’s far easier to just add the def tag per-word in dialogue/exposition.
This did result in a small error where lifting scene hint/tip is hidden in the upper left by letterboxing during flashbacks/or those who have letterboxing on. It should be there at beginning of most scenes and it peaks through. If I do a 4.5, I’ll fix that. Otherwise it’s a small enough issue to fix with episode 5.
Added a “Previously” section/choice at the beginning. In all honesty, it’s pretty shitty. I may fix it to be a bit more depth. but there was a lot of content to fit in there and was struggling to fit a enough but not too much. So, I just handed it to Claude who did an equally bad job.
There’s a couple of the AI animations I’d like to fix as the lack of looping is quite noticeable, but mostly an under the hood issue that’ll be doing.
Thorough spell/grammar/etc. check for all previous episodes. Will be doing a massive code/bug/consistency clean-up at the end of Season 1 following the final episode of to ensure a clean as possible save carryover from Season 1 to Season 2. More on that soon.
Added a translation button in settings, preparing for future translations. AI, human, volunteer, or otherwise.
Hope to implement a correction system for this, as well.
Changes since previous/higher tiers:
Added bugfix for gallery (gallery had \ instead of / for image paths, which was causing tracebacks. Should be all good now.
Added changelog to game.
Fix “Previously….” bug.
Various minor fixes
Still need to address some of the definitions not closing correctly, but not really in rush since it’s not game breaking. A rollback should work fine. Will likely be corrected in Episode 5.
