Diminishment v0.302d, Chapter 2 Part 1 - Public Release

Hey!


After roughly a year working on it, it's finally done!

Mega folder (0302c Windows, Mac, Linux, Android 0302d)

Linux only has a free release version. If you can only run the Linux version, there is no difference with the paywalled version.

Neither Mac or Linux are officially supported. Make sure to test the Free Mac version, before subscribing on either patreon or substar, as it's highly likely that it won't work! There is of course the re-cut video versions of the game events, but those are of course not the exact same experience as the full game.

Mac(and likely linux) users: Make sure to turn on "Use built in text" in the options menuThis means you can't use custom translations and what not though! Make sure to restart the game after enabling this option. Unless the text shows up normally for you with the option disabled of course, then it's better to leave it that way!

Installing APKs on android: https://www.lifewire.com/install-apk-on-android-4177185

NOTE: that each APK (Android) package only has the corresponding parts. If you try to load a part that's not included in the installation package, the game will get stuck in a loading screen. This does mean you need to start through a new game, when going to chapter 2


Hopefully it was worth the wait!

0302d (Android only update):

  • Added option to skip to the apartment scene in Chapter2 Part1
  • Skipping the intro parts might help users who experienced crashes after the school section of the event ends on the regular version

0302c:

  • Fixed various issues when loading from a save, mainly portraits & audio related
  • Accidentally divided the free android version into 3, similar to the payed version, so there's now separate install for prologue, chapter 1 and chapter 2. I'll keep it this way, since this is the way the paid version is divided as well.
    • This does mean that any previous chapter 1 saves you've made on the free version won't be visible, unless you copy the save file to the "com.DiminishmentCh1" folder. See the readme in MEGA if want to do this.
  • Added different icons for each installation on android, so it's easier to see what you're launching.

0302b:

  • Fixed save issues with android

0302a:

  • Fixed fade out in middle of sequence, when not helping Nina
  • Fixed some audio missing from Lucy
  • Fixed some audio loops not stopping when supposed to
  • Added opengl version for android, for those that have trouble with vulkan, try this, if your device is slow with the other one


Known issues:

  • There seems to be some issues with the save system on android currently
  • Loading from saves made within Chapter 2 Part 1 in version 0300e or older, causes all bad endings to freeze the game. Saving and reloading won't fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience! 
    • NOTE: Since it only affects the bad endings, your saves made at the end of the various branching paths/main paths should work fine in the future, for continuing on to the next part.
  • There might be one or two ambient sounds missing at some points. If you think you've found one let me know. Examples of these would be stuff like missing stomach sounds during stomach scenes, no muffled moaning loops heard during internals, and so on.
  • If you press buttons while the game is loading it'll throw you a "not responding" dialogue, just ignore it, and it'll go away once the game has finished loading. This happens after player setup, and between parts. As well as between the school & apartment transition.
  • Old saves made during the apartment section are unlikely to work.

Changes v0302:

  • Added portraits for Chapter 2
  • Added dialogue grunts to intro/outro, and some key places in the CG events
  • Fixed some minor bugs
  • Some minor improvements to videos here and there
  • Leveled audio, so it doesn't break as much at certain points
  • Added a button to the menu, that unstucks a loop. Use this in case you have issues. These should not happen, and learning about where a freeze occurs is always useful for me. But with this, you don't need to reload at least. (can use F5 as well)
  • The latest scene is now in two parts, so there's some loading time between the school and apartment transition (so wait at least a minute, before assuming it crashed)
  • Other minor tweaks that I can't remember right now
