Rulent Tower v0.39 - Forest Foxen


Here comes a big one! This includes both v0.38 and v0.39. First off, v0.38: A Different Vibe:

  • New Palette (PC/GBC-only), Synthwave-inspired. The pink helps it from feeling too monochrome.
  • Graphical tweaks to the Tower Front, Rear, Roof Top, Map Screen, Gym, Elevator, and parts of the Intro
    • Tower Front: Shaded edges to building and sidewalk, tweaks to front door, parking lot numbers and Carwing
    • Tower Rear: Dark Shading, Moved around and Edited decorations, new flavor text added, new back door, info sign
    • Roof Top: Shading to background, removed side clouds, extended water
    • Map Screen: Background Pattern, small hand tweaks
    • Gym: Tweaks to turnbuckles, pathways, hot tub
    • Elevator: New tile pattern, moved around and tweaked some of the grafitti (RIP "Don't 'bate"), reconfigured the map to make space for a potential future plot event
    • Intro: Much denser starfield, redrawn planet (WIP), tweaks to brochure (probably going to get redrawn), tweaks to hand and cockpit design, updated Ky's sprite, small Carwing changes, building and ground in Descent scene
  • Changed the silhouette's partner to her roomie
  • Additional detail and adjustments to Shizaball's desk (she deserves it)
  • RT has a front door now! Swapped out the lobby sofas with the ones on other floors
  • Minor font and emote changes and additions
  • Enabled Ground Floor save point earlier, disabled the one in Ky's room for Day 1
  • Added "Point of No Return" warning for entering Ky's room after getting your key

And now v0.39: Forest Foxen!

I had the intention of blocking out all the apartments, but instead I ended up designing Mary Ann's all the way to completion. Really squeaking under the tile limit, especially for the redrawn Archery minigame, and I'm pretty proud, all told. I hope the other apartments go a little faster, though.

  • Created Mary Ann's Apartment, Complete with Descriptions
  • Redrew Archery Minigame, Added animation and sound to Arrows
    • Sadly ran out of tiles for the straw below target
  • Mary Ann now has a unique sprite set
  • Mary Ann "First Meet" Cutscene is better animated, and her dialogue tweaked
  • Fixed Missing Lobby Description
  • Fixed Pausing/Map Screen in Ren's room during Evening Event
  • Added Dripping Pipe in Basement
