What changed — A New Beginning [Ch. 1-12] [JJsworld]

Chapters 1-11: - Consolidated the entire story so far into a single release. -Split Chapters 1 into a Prelude and Chapters 1-3. The old Chapter 2 is now numbered as Chapters 4-6. No changes to the story itself were made. - Added a seventh chapter to the story, with over 150 new renders. - Added a chapter menu at the start of the story, which will allow people to skip ahead in the story to the chapter of their choice. - Readers can now choose a different name for the protagonist after starting the story, which occurs before the added option to jump to later chapters. - Minor changes under the hood to improve performance on low end hardware -Chapter 11 added -Changelog for the Chapter 1-12 version: ------------------------ Date: 3/22/22 The story is now complete. - The Final Chapters (12) and the Epilogue have been added to the story. Over 500 new pictures, over 4000 lines of new code. 1.25GB for the entire package. Add-on patch for those that downloaded Chapters 1-11 previously is 252MB. - Typos and such for previous chapters have for the most part now been corrected, but there is no need to re-read the previous chapters unless you'd like to 'refresh your memory' r.e. the story. - It is recommended to not using existing saves, due to the introduction of a new nickname variable at the beginning, which is used in most of the chapters. Use the 'chapter skip' feature as this is still a Visual/Kinetic Novel with a linear storyline, not a game. - Upon starting a new session, you will be asked if you are a new reader. If you've read the previous chapters, choose "No". - Then you will be asked to choose a name and a nickname. Defaults for these are 'Brian' and 'B' but choose what you like. - Once you've chosen your name and nickname, you will be asked which chapter you'd like to skip to. This update begins at Chapter 12. - The 'Patch' version is for people that have previously downloaded the Chapter 1-11 version. if you have that, just download the patch. Instructions for installation are in the patch, short form, open up your ANewBeginningCh1-11v1.0-pc folder, and drage/merge the /game folder from the patch .7zip into your ANewBeginning folder, merging /game with /game. You will be asked to overwrite a few files (chapter.rpy files, script.rpy, screens.rpy, options.rpy), this is normal behavior. - No Android, Mac or Linux versions YET... hopefully the usual folk can help with this. - Credit to OhWee for Ren'Py coding and editing assistance, and also to JohnnyMonroe, zp560, and DavidCF for their proofreading assistance with various chapters of A New Beginning.
