The Quiet Song of Plants - v1.1.5(Patreon Release)

Hello my dear Patrons! As promised I'm releasing the new update today - and I know you've all been waiting for it for quite some time. I was working hard day and night to deliver you the new update so I hope you will like it!

So, what's included in this new update?

  • Over 1 hour and 30 minutes of new gameplay,

  • 3 new H-scenes with 3 alternatives for 1 of them,

  • 3 new minigames,

  • More SFX more overlay images. Also better quality of the existing images.

  • Improved consistency of the characters.

A lot of polishing and improvements especially with stats. Stats now play an important role in the game and they will determine which extra scenes will be available to the players - so the players can stir to outcomes they enjoy the most.

Over the next two weeks, I'll be pushing out updates daily to address any bugs and issues that crop up, so make sure to keep checking back for new versions. I'll also update the post title with version numbers (e.g., v1.1.5 → v1.1.6 → v1.1.7) so you'll know exactly when a fix has been rolled out.

Thanks as always for your patience and support—enjoy the new content!

P.S. This version will be publicly available in two weeks - on Itch.io.

QSOP - v1.1.5

Date: 2026-09-20

What's New

  • Added a new minigame - gardening flowers with android touchscreen support.

  • Added `panStart` / `panEnd` percentages for horizontal and vertical pan loops.

  • Added personality-stat effects and visible confidence/stamina requirements to selected story choices.

Done

  • Reworked small-screen Options into two columns, with full-screen panels.

  • Added a Font Awesome reset icon using the existing fallback mechanism.

  • Updated gallery images and missing progress unlocks while preserving existing gallery IDs

  • Expanded music credits to include current production track titles.

Fixed

  • SFX offsets now wait for media readiness and seek completion; short trimmed clips use position-based end checks instead of relying only on sparse `timeupdate` events.

  • Rounded SFX timer delays to avoid fractional-millisecond boundary failures in tests.

  • Android continuous SFX loops use decoded Web Audio buffers to avoid media-element restart gaps; pause/resume, volume, cancellation, and fallback remain supported.

  • Non-zooming pan loops animate the image crop rather than moving the overlay container.

Decisions

  • Keep buffered continuous SFX playback Android-only and preserve the working music path. Positive `loopDelay` values retain intentional gaps on the media-element path.

  • Use only `panStart` and `panEnd` for pan direction; removed the redundant `panFrom` option. Non-zooming vertical loops default to bottom-to-top, horizontal loops to left-to-right.

  • Keep a scrolling fallback for constrained screens or enlarged text, with Options actions remaining visible

Notes

  • The Android SFX loop-gap fix was confirmed by a follower on his device. The precise historical cause of the gap was not established.

  • Added full automated tests that will help running the code before building the production.

  • Non-zooming pans require image content extending beyond the frame on the selected axis. Zoom-pan loops still zoom out between cycles.

  • Some soundtrack entries still need verified artist, recording, and license attribution before publishing.

  • The build disables dev mode, but missing assets, unresolved references, and conversion errors can be reported without failing the build.

  • Linux builds are disabled in the current release script.

Next

  • Verify settings layout, gallery unlocks, pan ranges and minigames on Android, desktop, and HTML5 builds.

  • Retest music/SFX loops, intentional gaps, trimmed clips, background/resume, and save compatibility with an update over the previous release.

  • Review build summaries, release signing/versioning, debugging settings, laptop window sizing, offline behavior.

  • Add Linux and MacOS support for the next update. Need testing and configuration before the release.
