Hazelnut Latte v0.15.1.0 Progress Report 3/10/26

Heya everyone, and welcome back to another progress report!

Special Moments are getting animated! Koth is juggling school right now, so it is a little slow goings at the moment. We have 4 scenes we want to animate for this next build, and the first one has been rigged!

Kikii is working on Backgrounds for a later update, but is going to pivot this week to this one piece of UI Art for the next build.

Kokman is working on Episode 2 stuff! Not much to report over here, but he's killing it.

As for coding, Lotus is working on bug fixes that players have reported.

The bug fix bar is sort of an ever-evolving bar that will likely never fully go away. Remember that if you find a bug, report it! Even if you're not sure that it is a bug!

Once he's caught up on that, he will begin working on the new features and improvements we want in this next build.

We're also updating our dialogue system to the latest available version, which means we need to rebuild the visual novel framework. Not as scary as it sounds, since a lot of the work is done, we just need to bring it over to the new version of Yarnspinner, which is how we run dialogue.

I will say, this next update, v0.15.1.0, will break your save! But! It should only be this one time. Thankfully, there isn't much content; what content there is is getting a bit of a touch-up with new animated special moments. And we're adding a skip button! Don't want y'all getting carpal tunnel. We have a plan for a feature to help with exploring routes we want to implement, but we need to get a bit further into the game for that.

Writing... hasn't happened. I just finished moving, which means I need to unpack now! So, redo the whole last month or so, in reverse... yippie! I'm hoping to split up this upcoming week between unpacking and getting back into the flow of writing.

And that's it! Remember, we changed our release schedule for builds! And by "change," I mean we now have one!

This next update will be very light on content but will have bug fixes and improvements!
