I apologize to those who have suffered bugs while playing Dear Althea, and I am very grateful to all those who have told me about the bugs they have encountered during their game; being only one person, these bugs had gone unnoticed until now.
I hope that with this update, the most common bugs that you have reported to me will be fixed or at least less annoying.
To enjoy these changes, be sure to re-download the game to get the April 10th version.
Before talking about the new features that this new version brings, I have to remind you that, because the game engine is Visual Novel Maker, there are some limitations that prevent me from implementing: auto-save, the game remembering the language settings or the errors produced when you click too fast the right mouse button.
That said, here are the notes on this new version:
- A button has been added at the bottom right to skip the introduction videos.
- Fixed, in most cases, the bug that made the background of the text disappear and made the text unreadable when the scene was very dark.
- Added a shadow to the text to improve visibility and alleviate the bug that causes the background of the text to disappear (which usually appeared or appears in some cases when the right mouse button is clicked too quickly).
- The puzzle, which consisted of a box with a family represented on the lid, has been removed for the time being, as the source of the bug, which in some cases did not allow the game to continue, was not found. I will incorporate the puzzle again later if I am able to find the cause of the bug, but I'm afraid it has to do with the engine used to create the game.
- The speed at which text appears has been accelerated.
- Fixed most of the text that sometimes repeated due to a bug.
I would like to thank again the comments with the bug reports, thanks to them this game is better and I hope that more people are encouraged to put their comments and opinions to continue improving the product as much as possible.
Best regards and thanks for your attention.
