EH Backer Build 0.991: Known Issues and Limitations

Post by RonK » Sun Apr 03, 2016 9:58 pm

Additions/Changes/Limitations since build 0.974:

Audio:
Voice acting added as a separate audio channel
GUI updated to allow volume control for voice acting audio channel
Additional musical cues added to the Eva branch
Scenes requiring a modest amount of anxiety or tension have had audio cues added

At least one audio track appears to max out RenPy's internal mixer, resulting in distorted audio
Identified two distinct situations for which we have no appropriate musical cues:
- Scenes involving Elena
- Scenes requiring "light and breezy" background music to pass the time
A method of dynamically altering volume has been identified. However, we need to update the Ren'Py engine in order to take advantage of it—which will mean some regression testing to see if the new engine breaks anything


Text and Direction:
All special characters have been added to our font
Added a tutorial option in the Preferences menu to explain game options

German text needs to be evaluated by a native-speaker, or highly-trained individual
There may be a few backer names missing from the credits (please let us know if this is you)
The new tutorial inadvertently changes the outfit that Cassandra is rendered in


Backgrounds and Effects:
Added "twinkle" effect to Errant Heart title screen
BG for Moretti House Exterior finalized
BG for Ilse LeMadeline dock finalized
BG for art gallery artwork has been added
BG for art gallery has been finalized for time-stop version
BG for factory exterior has been finalized for time-stop version
BG for museum exterior has been finalized for time-stop version
Added a "Limo interior" background (with animated lights)

Errant Heart title screen missing "water animation"
Some motions, as rendered in Ren'Py 6.99.8 are not ideal


Sprites:
Sprites have had drop shadows added for full-length shots

Missing an "injured" Noel sprite
Elena's drop shadow is cut off on the right side


Event CGs:
EV_Cass_Gun has had additional detail added
EV_Camp has had additional detail added
EV_e025-1 has had additional detail added
EV_e025-3 has had additional detail added

EV_e019 needs additional detail
EV_e025-4 needs additional detail
EV_e025-5 needs additional detail
EV_p001 needs additional detail
