Welcome To Winblewick 0.1.1 Sora update

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay D:

A few things went wrong… which I’ll explain in this post :D

But first, the new content!
In this update — Welcome To Winblewick 0.1.1 — you’ll find:

• The first 6 events of the character Sora, an energetic resident of the F dorms.

• Meeting events for 2 new secondary characters.

• Minor mini-events.

• The first quest to level up Ryo’s stats :D

Now for the bad news :c

I’ve always wondered why NSFW Ren’Py games tend to use static images instead of simple animations, since in my opinion, the latter are more appealing.
Well, as any newbie in a new field eventually learns… I just found out why.

The increase in file size makes it unmanageable to rely only on animations.
So, I’ll be changing my approach, using static images for most of the storytelling and reserving animations for the most “interesting” segments (if you know what I mean, haha).

Right now, even with just 8 events in the game, most of the total size is taken up by those videos.
I might even remake these early events later using a mix of static images and animations instead of only animations, to reduce the game’s size.

This might not be entirely bad news, though, as with this new approach, I’ll be able to produce scenes faster :D

Finally, I’ve included a text file in this post with the character, time, and location needed to start the quest,  since I haven’t implemented an ingame way to guide players to it yet :D

Also, super important!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since this is the first content update, old saves will not work. This will be the first and last time I take this liberty c:
