dev blog #17 - new techDemo 0.4

and here it is!
the next techDemo version is finally presentable

Twin Star - techDemo 0.4

the new major features are:

• Skill Menu
  
  
  
  the latest addition to the Journal menu is the skill menu that gives you an overview over your characters skill levels (duh)
  there is no background functionality to it yet other than a display function
  the effects of the skills are still temporary but probably won't change much in the future so you can already see where I'm going with them.
   
• Map Changer
  
  in order to travel around in the game world and visit other areas the "map changer" takes control of transition between the different areas that will be in the game.
  
  In addition I also expanded the house by another floor, the "Groundfloor" that you can reach by going downstairs over the newly added staircase next to the bathroom
  
  
  
  
  now that there is a "front door" you can also leave the house at "morning" on weekdays to go to school (not really, but it's a placeholder for the next update)
   
• new hardcore scene
  
  as already announced in some previews this update includes another new hardcore scene!
  
  
  
  
  for testing purpose this scene is available every "morning" at the bathroom door, just check it out.
   
• 'install-free'
  I changed the way the game gets deployed so from now on you don't need to install it anymore in the usual way!
  It comes as an extractable ZIP with 'pre-installed' game files and all you have to do is extract it anywhere you like (your external encrypted porn stache if you have one) and run the games .exe file
   

there have been of course many minor tweaks and a lot of bugfixes. for a more detailed overview check out the changelog page
