Diminishment - Chapter 1 Part 3 (Concludes Chapter 1)

Known issues:
  • If you had trouble downloading from the MEGA links in the last couple days, it's likely due to my bandwidth limit exceeding the Pro I account limit, I've upgraded to Pro II now, so it should be enough, as it increases the bandwidth limit from 2 to 8 TB.
  • Saving when there's no dialogue on screen can cause the save not to work when loading from it.
  • When keeping the suit, if you do a perfect run (green flash, no QTE) on the first minigame, it will play the wrong dialogue.
  • if you skip part 2, it will send you to the main menu. For now, if you wish to skip part 2, use the scenario skip available when starting a new game (you will be able to answer questions regarding any choices that might have effects in the future)




It's done!

Windows only for now, other platforms and recordings/re-edit coming a bit later.

This version adds the final part of chapter 1. Well there might be optional additions later, but for the main events at least.

Additionally, it is now possible to translate the game by yourself, without the need to go through me. Check the tutorial in the games folder to see how. Personally I recommend using open office for translating.





Game Links (v0.232b):

Windows 

(Neither Linux or Mac support translating at this time)

Mac (0.232a)

Linux (0.232a)

Android (0.232a)
(Requires at least android 6.0)



Video Links:

Re-cut video (No dialogue/Music etc.)

Phub Link (ad warning)

Recordings



v0.232b
  • Fixed some missing portraits during a certain portion with Nina!  Or at least a chance that they weren't showing up.

  • Fixed some typos in dialogue
  • Fixed glitchy portraits on the victory end
  • These fixes are only for PC, at least for now, since they're not very game breaking, so rebuilding it for all the other platforms would be a bit too much just for these. Even if that Nina portrait thing does add quite a lot more to that particular scene, in my opinion! (These will be on the recordings)

0.232a changes (PC version updated, others were built directly into this, so the changes should be there already):
  • Text transparency should now properly fade the hearts and the speaker name as well
  • If you had problems loading text on PC before, this should fix any such issues
  • Fixed one instance where Nina was saying Elena's line, and Elena was saying Nina's line
  • Fixed portrait hide button not working during the CGs of part 1 and part 3.
  • Added some gurgle sounds to one part during the teasing portions of the second day event





Sorry for the constant delays. I probably shouldn't give out release estimates, since I can never seem to get them right!

Hopefully it will have been worth the wait.

If the videos don't run for you in the game, let me know. I used a similar method as previously, when at least a couple people mentioned they couldn't run then. Although that might have been on android. It's all a bit fuzzy.


Note that if you want to put your custom translations into the Android version, you will need to modify the apk file. This can be a bit annoying to do, so it's best to do finished translations on the PC, and only then transfer it to the android version, assuming you know how to do it. "APK Easy tool" for windows is relatively painless from what I tested just now. Alternatively, you can also send the finished translation to me, and I'll get to it eventually.
