Rulent Tower v0.37 - Braving the Basement




Here's the July 11th update! Feel free to follow the project right here on Itch!

This is two updates mashed together, so it's got a fairly long change list. Here we go:
  1. Minor Pool Revisions: A new "Rules" plaque, a big "Pool" sign on the wall, and an invisible trigger change.
  2. Rogue Sprite Tweaks + Poolside Sprites: I think they look a lot better. Rogue's actually reclining instead of standing on the chair. Do a dive in front of her!
  3. Gym Graphics: The entire Gym got installed. Not all of the "gimmicks" are active yet, but you can jump in the hot tub or step up on the Furry Burly stage!
  4. Moved the camera in some rooms to bias the top: Originally I was trying to bias the room entrance being closest to the screen edge, but since dialogue boxes come out of the bottom and are more likely to overlap, it's better to push everything higher. 
  5. Removed Save from Menu, only available via Save Points now: Sorry Save Anywhere fans, it was already buggy. Too easy to break scripts.
  6. Saving now handles multiple save points, with an error handler, and music now works after loading the last save: No more weird silence! Except Ky's apartment doesn't have a dedicated track yet, so... it will still have the weird silence.
  7. Save Points have a new sprite: Step onto the weird swirly shuriken!
  8. A Save Point was added to the Ground Floor Back Lobby: Originally it was going to be in the Front Lobby, but there wasn't really room for it. This is probably better.
  9. Randomized the Rooftop gravel better: This wasn't a problem, but I wanted to mix up the patterns a bit. I don't believe any single like tile borders an identical tile.
  10. Changed Bus message to make it clearer it won't work on Day 1: The bus is reserved for a later event.
  11. Tweaked "Streamer Mode" Bummie Silhouette: I didn't like her front-facing silhouette, and the shadow outlines still made it look NSFW. Now it looks more like her top, and she has the bulky shoulder.
  12. Floors 2F-4F now have face icons in front of the apartments to help players remember which is which (Minina/Popper's icon is temporary, Ky's will appear only after the Ren event, but doesn't appear yet)
  13. Made some other minor 2F-4F graphical tweaks and flourishes. Now apartments you can't enter are visibly shut.
  14. Ren kicks you out to an altered 3F to make it more obvious the other apartments are shut to you. Changed some of the messages and moved a few behind-the-scenes things around as well.
  15. Ky now lays down in her and Ren's (invisible) beds.
  16. The Basement got a complete redraw!

Gosh, that was a mouthful! And the next update is just as big, if not bigger! Thank you for following my game!
