Part Three Public Release

Links are up on Itch: https://sudo-nim.itch.io/the-nature-of-magic

For Discord folks: remember that all discussion should go in #⁠spoilers-public for the first 30 days and that no spoiler tags are necessary there. If posting about it anywhere else, like ⁠#feedback-and-suggestions or ⁠#bugs-typos, remember to use the tags during that 30 day window

Numbers:

• A little over 36000 words

• ~1450 renders

• 27 videos (six base animations with expression and view alternates)

Other stuff:   

• Updated the early game exposition to spread it out a little and pepper in some more banter and time with the characters

• Updated the animations in "Hey", Cerys's first QT scene

• Added some options to help with readability:

  • Slider for adjusting the size of the text outlines

  • Slider for adjusting the dialogue box's opacity/transparency

  • Basic colorblind-friendly toggle (white text for game menu and character names, black background in game menu)

• Added ability to cycle through outfits used for the image displayed in the character detail menu for romanced love interests

• Added option to always show pronunciation text

  • Note that the code for this involved replacing a lot of the old name variables, so most of the dialogue from the previous updates will be marked as 'unread'

• Introduction of 'mini scenes'

  • These are shorter scenes of intimacy with the ladies, meant to develop the intimate relationships without bogging down the pacing.  They do not have animations
