- Slower speed for panning of all special renders.
- Each Episode will be named from now on and the name will be displayed in the beginning of each episode.
- Implemented a rating system to see your overall progress with a character in the relationship report. Note that it's impossible to get perfect rating with every character without cheating; cheating may break the game.
- Implemented a system that lets you change animation speed. It will not be applicable to all animations and currently only available for a subset of animations in Episode 3.
- Implemented a scene gallery used for watching unlocked scenes. Note that scenes will be retroactively unlocked if you continue from an old save file.
-- Notes to Android users--
I have fixed a bug with Android saves. The save files location on your phone will be "Android/data/com.android.actinglessons" from now on.
Old saves from v0.2.0 are located in this folder "com.domain.program".
Please note that in order to use your old save file you must first copy your old save files from v0.2.0 to your computer, then uninstall v0.2.0 and install v0.3.0 and finally paste your save files into the same location as before ("Android/data/com.android.actinglessons").
Changes in Episode 1:
- Changed the sound effect of the ring tone to something less annoying.
- Added 101 reproduced renders.
Changes in Episode 2:
- Changed an instance where Megan's name was displayed as Melissa.
- Tweaked the dialogue when declining to peek at Megan in the shower to sound less creepy.
- Fixed a bug that caused the hint text to remain on the screen after the first acting rehearsal.
- Changed four songs that lacked Creative Commons license. All songs in this game are now under Creative Commons licensing according to the download sources. All songs have been credited in game.
If you find a bug/misspelled word/inconsistency, it means that I and my beta testers have missed it.
Please report it to me in the Acting Lessons discord (
https://discord.gg/KyCc5E4) under "bug-report".
It will make the game better and I may reward it with a preview screen from the next Episode. Thank you!
