Changelog 8

Happy New Year! While you're all still procrastinating taking down the Christmas lights, here is this month's changelog!

Over the course of this festive season I, along with Obsoletem, have been working towards reviving my Singularity Nexus side project. As part of this unshelving, I’ll start posting its progress here along with that of Project D.R.A.G.O.N.!

Project D.R.A.G.O.N. Changelog:

• The way that data for players with multiple heads are tracked has been overhauled. Each head can now have different characteristics from each other.

• Character creation has been expanded.

• Players can now select the number of eyes they have.

• Players can now select the type of eyes they have.

• Players can now select their eye color.

• Swapped a font used for [redacted] with one that’s more readable.

• More intro rewrite progress.

Singularity Nexus Changelog:

• An inventory system has been created.

• At the time of this changelog, the internal statistics for Singularity Nexus states that it is currently 10,420 words. Nice~

Changelog 7

The end of November has arrived! Here’s a new changelog for you to look over, assuming that you don’t need to continue keeping an eye on the overfed kobolds from Thanksgiving a few days ago.

This month’s changelog is a bit shorter than usual, but fear not that’s due to some writing work being done in the background.

Project D.R.A.G.O.N. now has a SubscribeStar! There’s a free tier for anyone that wishes to show their interest, along with paid tiers for those that would like to support development in a monetary fashion. You can find it here: https://subscribestar.adult/alpha-fenrir

• Replaced some instances of player head count logic to use an existing variable tasked with updating its contents based on whether the plural ‘s’ should be used in a specific text. This has resulted in the removal of duplicate text that are only different in their usage of this letter. This also has the added benefit of making the game’s word count slightly more accurate.
• Added a watersports event variant with Obsoletem that the player can run into when surrendering to the dominant type muskox.
• Added some lewd text variants for the combat loss against the male wolf based on the player’s top/bottom personality stat.

• Added a submission increase when begging for food from Glacias.

• Overhauled game logic for the units of measure used for body size, dick length, dick girth, ball size, and ball capacity.

• The player’s body size base unit has been changed from meters to centimeters, permitting players to become drastically smaller than the previous minimum limit.

• The yards unit of measure has been added.

• The highest units of measure for body part sizes has been increased further, for metric kilometers has been added, while imperial has miles.

• For ball capacity, the highest unit of measure has been increased to megaliter.

• In line with previous behavior, the units of measure used will be based on what is most appropriate for the body part’s current value.

• Finished setting up the basics for SubscribeStar which covers the various tiers, their rewards, and some goals.

• Added an extra metal door sound to the game for extra variety.

• Drew a placeholder background for the corridor exit.

• Overhauled how legs and hands are managed to allow for these counts to be tracked separately.

• Modified wing logic to allow for numerical amounts. This should grant greater diversity in the event that the player wants a nonstandard quantity of wings, while opening the possibility for events to be created that are capable of giving or removing wings from the player.

• Modified some minimum limb code to allow for having one leg or one hand for players that would like to have only one of these limbs for better roleplaying.

• Added variants for existing text to better account for the amount of hands the player has.

• Updated logic for tracking the player’s flight capabilities when the wing count changes.

• Added checks to fix negative counts of wings/hands/legs in preparation of future events that modify these values.

• Drew and added a placeholder for [redacted] that the player inspects during the intro.

• Updated audio credits.

• Tweaked some conditionals to use an equivalent version to maintain internal logic consistency.

• Added head, wing, hand, and leg counts to the player body data screen.

• Refactored racial and general perks to use arrays. This has allowed for the consolidation of perk code, and drastic code simplification now that they’re not being tracked as separate variables.

• Refactored the inventory system to use arrays. As part of this refactor, the logic used for player equipment has been modified to allow for multiple copies of these items.

• Tweaked the formula used for calculating the player’s max health to account for the new base unit so that it no longer gives the player absurdly high hp.

• Refactored the skill system to use an array. This has allowed for significant code consolidation.
• Refactored the elemental resistance/weakness system to use an array. This has drastically cut down the number of variables used for tracking these values for enemies and players. This change has also simplified the internal logic used for resetting these values when generating a new enemy.
• Refactored the variables used for managing quest data into an array. As part of this, the logic used for the quest log has been updated and has resulted in a version with reduced upkeep since its logic no longer needs to be manually expanded when new quests are made in order to maintain the conditional for determining when the ‘Nothing at the moment…’ message appears.
• Tweaked text in the player equipment section to have a larger font to match the other category headers.
• Tweaked the call for the elemental effectiveness of spells to receive a string containing the current skill’s element to determine which resistance/weakness checks should be made.
• The player's elemental resistance/weakness data is now displayed on the stat screen.

Changelog 6

I hope you all got the chance to enjoy Halloween this year! Just remember to take good care of your teeth and fangs after eating all those sweets so you can bite into this month’s changelog!

• Obsoletem made progress on some salamander and desert content.
• Tweaked the formula used for calculating ball capacity to treat the existing variable as a diameter value.
• Tweaked wording used for displaying ball size data to clarify that it is a diameter.
• Modified the player data screen so the unit of measure used for displaying the player’s maximum ball capacity converts to liters when passing 1000 milliliters.
• Further modified the player data screen so the unit of measure used for displaying the player’s maximum ball capacity converts to kiloliters when passing 1000 liters.
• Added padding between the player data and player summary scroll areas.
• Clarified the wording when the player’s personality reaches the highest dominance/submission tier.
• Once again fixed the alignment of the name box so it doesn’t collide with the new scroll area used for the text box.
• Tweaked the scroll area height to fix an interaction with Ren’Py’s input functionality which was causing the text to misalign.
• Added ‘colossal’ as an adjective to describe the player’s ball size when they are far above average for their particular body size.
• Modified the formulas used for calculating the player’s ball size level so that rather than comparing their size to the player’s dick to make this determination, it instead makes a judgement based on their body size.
• Tweaked the scroll area dimensions for player data and summary.
• Added ‘ass ruining’ as an adjective to describe the player’s dick size when they are far above average for their particular body size.
• Tweaked player name input logic so numbers and certain special characters can’t be used.
• Tweaked the player name input logic so the default name is automatically displayed in case the player does not have a desired name to input and simply wish to forgo this personalization option.
• Replaced some nonworking interpolation code by utilizing string concatenation to allow the player summary to be a bit more dynamic when displaying a random word to refer to the player’s dick.
• Restored ability to rollback with the mouse wheel, it’s just too useful for pc players.
• Created new visual assets for the scrollbar.
• Added new styling for the scrollbar to take advantage of the free space in the text box’s visual design.
• Increased text box width now that the scrollbar is no longer taking up space in the text display area.
• Obsoletem started work on various desert events targeting different periods throughout the day/night cycle as well as weather conditions. These events include those that take place during dawn, normal day time, day heat wave, night time, and sandstorm weather.
• Changed presplash file type so it’s recognized on other platforms. This fixes an issue of the custom presplash not showing on android phones.
• Reenabled a config that affects text resolution drawing now that the new scrollable text box prevents a text overflow issue that this config previously contributed to. This should make text a little bit clearer on small screens.
• Converted the text size preferences into radio buttons.
• Fixed a bug that was causing multiple text size preference options to be highlighted when reloading the game.
• Modified how the text size preference buttons affect text so that only dialogue in the text box is changed. This prevents unassociated text areas that use the global text size value from breaking under some circumstances.
• Added additional spacing between some preference options to fix a separation issue that occurs on phone screens.
• Increased interface text size to make it easier to read and click on smaller screens.
• Drastically increased the size of the quick menu buttons on phones and mobile devices to make them much easier to click on very small screens.
• Tweaked save slot text size to be a bit bigger.
• Overhauled choice menus to give them scrolling capabilities, ultimately removing the issue of too many options causing visual issues. As a result of this change, the player species selection and content blacklist menus are no longer split into pages.
• Increased choice button text size and height to make them easier to read and click on small screens.
• Tweaked stat menu text to fix an inconsistent spacing issue.
• Modified the height of the player data scrollbar area to be smaller to match the smallest default area between male/female/herm players. This fixes a visual issue where empty space was left at the bottom.
• Tweaked the size of the game name and version, along with their positioning, when they are shown on the main menu.
• Added a button that leads the player to the game’s (currently under construction) SubscribeStar.
• Tweaked how ball capacity is displayed when it uses milliliters so that unneeded decimal places aren’t shown, since this unit of measure is treated as the base unit for this attribute.
• Tweaked where the text tags for modifying the size of the game’s title and version are placed to fix an oversight that caused the text tag to be incorrectly shown on the game’s application window.
• Added the quick menu buttons to the input screen logic so that they don’t disappear when the player is asked to input text. This fixes a potential issue for those that can’t use the mouse wheel that would have left such players unable to rollback past these points due to the unavailability of the back button.
• Fixed a bug that was causing the enemy’s health bar to change without completing its animation.
• Imported the new upload/download save sync functionality that’s available to newer Ren’Py projects. After testing I have verified that it is possible for players to successfully transfer saves between PC and the web builds of the game using this feature.
• Fixed a bug that was causing some combat ui elements from showing on the first turn.
• Increased notification text size.
• Tweaked the dissolve animation used for one of the loss events for hermaphrodite players.
• Added additional text box dissolve animations where they were previously missing.
• Removed some no longer useful code now that the various player description screens are not able to be clicked through anymore.

• Expanded the tutorial text shown when the player unlocks exploration.
• Added a black and white background variant for when the player is asked to input a code to the [redacted].
• Tweaked inventory sprite sizes to fit the updated choice menu option dimensions.
• Worked with Obsoletem to slightly expand the content shown when the player surrenders to the sub type muskox.

• Added skill level up variants when the player increases them to their level 10 limit.
• Worked with Obsoletem to expand the weather change text that is shown when a blizzard ends.
• Tweaked the text that is shown when the GUI buttons are first unlocked to cover the player’s inability to advance while overlays are shown.
• Tweaked some text to emphasize reviewing the content blacklist menu at least once.
• Changed the name box’s shape to better complement the text box.
• Added nubby horns as a horn type players can select during character creation.
• Drastically simplified the internal code used for the player body size category selection during character creation. This simultaneously fixes a related bug.
• Fixed a misplaced dialogue so it properly appears in the menu asking the player which category of character creation they’d like to redo.
• Updated slut mode logic so it’s treated like a perk. Added an accompanying description in the perk list so players are reminded of what this mode entails.
• Added a tooltip for the health regeneration perk and added it to the perk list.
• Tweaked tool tip width for menus with less than 7 options.
• Added a scene variant with Obsoletem for fae dragon players to capitalize on a certain character’s poor word choice.
• Expanded the scene that takes place after player name selection
• Added numerous easter eggs that can be triggered by using certain names.

Changelog 5

This month’s changelog covers a bit of everything from animations to audio additions and even game build testing. Of which, I have been successful in producing both web and .apk builds, allowing Project D.R.A.G.O.N. to be playable on android devices, as well as directly on the game page. To make playing on these platforms easier, I have also spent additional time improving visibility, and ease of play for a greater variety of screen sizes.

Among the technical changes that are covered more extensively below, I have also spent a good chunk of time organizing over 120 ideas and events of various stages of completion in an effort to increase the team’s efficiency as we work on including a new subarea for the tundra. Aside from this organizational work, the intro overhaul has taken some steps forward with some of our old writings being brought up to our more current standards. There’s still much to be done until this overhaul is finished, but steady progress is being made. See you all next month!

Changelog 4

Hello again, it’s finally time for another changelog! This August has been quite the productive month, which you can read all about below.

• Payments through itch.io have been disabled while the payment processor controversy continues, this will allow Project D.R.A.G.O.N. to be discoverable once the game’s page is made public.
• Added a frame around enemy names to make them easier to read on light backgrounds.
• Modified equippable item logic to simplify coding in new items. It should now be able to easily handle scenarios when a player equips an item, unequips an item, and swaps equipped items.

• Added area description text for the resting area when a blizzard is active. Variant text has also been written for when the resting area is illuminated or not.
• Set up a private GitHub repository for the game. This’ll make tracking changes easier and allow for multiple people to work on the source code at once.
• Set up a .gitignore file with information on which files Git should ignore to make it easier for people to grab, work on, and test the project with fewer file conflicts.
• Modified some code so the resting area also uses calls when updating backgrounds.
