Hazelnut Latte v0.15 Changelog

For anyone wondering where the update post is, it is in a separate post. This post is just so everyone can see the changelog.

Well, it only took us uhh, 124 days, but we are here! The release of v0.15! Hey, it's only our 3rd-longest wait.

A lot has happened since last time, so I want to go over all of the changes coming in this update.

Changelog

• Switch from the Ren’Py game engine to Unity.

• Game Reset to Episode 1.

• 9.5k Word Count.

• Two new characters: Max & Charlene.

• Lewd scenes for both.

• Newhaven Nightclub revamped & renamed.

• New score by Lolurio.

• Animated Sprites, Cinematic Moments, & Lewd Scenes.

• New UI & Menus.

• Character Creator.

I have said it many times over the last few months, but I want to reiterate:

• The game has restarted from Episode 1 with a whole new opening.

• Full Episodes 1-6 are not implemented.

• Your saves will not transfer from Ren'Py.

We restarted because we felt very limited by our old game engine, and we felt the story needed a redo now that we knew where we wanted it to go. I don't wanna go into too much detail since I've talked about it so much over the past couple of months.

PC Only

Making an addendum to this post at 1 AM: we couldn't get the mobile build figured out in time. We tried, but honestly, we've been up for hours, Lotus way more than me. We just need a bit more time to get the mobile build sorted.

The whole build looks like this right now, all stretched and distorted. Once we get it figured out, we will update the Alpha post to include the mobile build. Once we rest up, we can figure this one out, but for now, only the PC build is available.

We also don't have a Mac or Linux build, but again, as soon as we have them, we'll upload them.

What is Missing

No Gallery, no SFW mode, no Backer Guide mode, no player cellphone. We want to add these things in, but we wanted to get this build out by the end of February.

A few special moments didn't make it into this build, and we kept one that is not finished/animated with Charlene. So when you see that, just know, we will be animating it later! We just ran out of time.

One song is still in its rough stage, which is when you go to Max's Van. The loop isn't great, but we'll get a final mix soon.

We haven't figured out fading for some scenes yet, so it will be hard cuts. Not our intent, but we can't figure it out in time.

Known Bugs

• Sometimes Charlene's arm will phase through her torso to go behind her. We have the animations; we just need to implement them.

• If you save on a choice and load that save, the previous line will appear over the choice box. You can still proceed, but there is a visual bug.

• Also, saving before a choice always loads the choice.

• During Max's last van scene, instead of displaying the player's name, it says "POV".

• Does not work on ultra-wide monitors; you need to change your computer's resolution.

Release Schedule

$10 - March 3rd, 8 AM Pacific

$5 - March 10th, 8 AM Pacific

$3 - March 17th, 8 AM Pacific

Starting in April, we will have a new, more consistent release schedule, which we will announce at a later date. But, uh, get hyped about it.

Where do I report bugs?

Either in the comments of the post, the Discord, or our Google Form we'll add in the update post.

Wrap Up

No graph this week because... well, the build is out, silly! We hope you all enjoy playing it! We don't like to crunch, but we totally crunched for this update. Lotus and I had some rough days getting this game ready for today. In fact, I'm writing this post at my 13th hour of work the night before, and we still have stuff to do.

I'm sure there are problems with the build, but keep in mind this is our first Unity build, and we are a game in active development. See a bug, a problem, a mistake, something you don't like, etc? Tell us! The game can only get better if you let us know how it makes you feel and whether you notice anything breaking completely.

That is all I have for now, back to work! Remember to Stay Rad :D
