Single again - Chapter 1 release
🕑 Added 2021-10-31 02:20:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Chapter one of Single again is done and ready to go. It's available to both Becca and BnV tiers. There have been a ton of small and not so small changes made to the entire game. Here is a list of the changes that were made.
Quality of life
- The text box is now permanent and will only disappear during choices and non-looping videos (No more flashing in and out).
- Dissolves were added between images where the camera doesn't move (Gives a more animated look to scenes).
- Non-looping videos can now be skipped. (no longer have to wait for them to play out before continuing).
- Fixed a ton of spelling/grammar mistakes (Well over a thousand corrections).
Game changes
- Re-made 440 images (from 0.01 to 0.05).
- Re-made 3 videos (The ones when Abigail shows off her new haircut).
- Some dialog was re-written/ellipsis removed (Just minor changes to clean it up).
- Extra dialog between Frank and Rebecca during 0.13 scene (Added some story that I forgot to add when writing the scene).
- New Jess story added at the end of 0.13.
Other notes
- Old saves won't work with this version (you can use ctrl or tab to skip what you want).
- Because old saves don't work there is no update file.
- I didn't add any audio (That is still planned but will have to wait).
- Reduced the quality of the credits video so the entire file size would be under 4 gigs.
- Now that the chapter is finished I'll look into getting an android port made.
So, for now chapter one is done. At some point in the future I'd like to come back and add some more polish, but for now this is the final version. (Amusing no bugs are found. knock on wood) I hope you guys enjoy the changes that were made.
Like always please take all discussion of the game to Discord. If you just want to talk about the game or are having problems with getting it started, there is someone there who can help.
That's all for now, I'll be starting Chapter 2 soon. I'm going to aim for an early December release (This is just a guess at this point and not written in stone).
Thank you, all of you. I wouldn't be able to do this with out your support. So, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
And, happy Halloween!

Not quite. At the end there is a bit new content, but not much. The scene with Frank and Becca is a bit longer and the Jess story part is new. Other than that nothing new storywise. I didn't notice anything crucial storywise when I played it, but there is some new info that might remove future "wait, what?" thing in next chapter. Longer dialog is not just more words, it is more info too.

yep

I appreciate the breakdown of the improvements. But my original question was: has there been any continuation of the story from the ver 0.13 release to the Chapter 1 release? From your description, the answer appears to be "no." Is that correct?

Can someone from Clever Name Games please answer my simple question from earlier?

It would be great if Day 1 of chapter 2 Abby wakes up and sees lilly spooning Frank and says it's about time.

Replying to myself, after the first swimming pool thing and dinner after that, I didn't notice many changes (if at all). Just a bit longer ending. At start of the game changes were obvious, if there were some after that they were more subtle.

Too many changes that didn't need to be there, in fact some of the old pictures/scenes were better. I feel many if not most of the changes were completely unnecessary.
Big Daddy
Just so I understand, from what I gather from the walk through and from Clever Names description, it looks like there has been no continuation of the story from the ver 0.13 release to the Chapter 1 release. Only upgraded images and videos. Is this correct?
DannyB
Finished it and I think the time you spent on this would have better spent on the next chapter.
DannyB
Yeah I forgot that, just a 70 year old mind brain fart. Thanks.

you will need to go into preferences, there will be an option to skip unseen text, click on it and it will allow you to skip.
DannyB
I've played it half way and I can't get the skip to work. Any ideas?
