Act 1 Chapter 2 Released

Took a bit longer than chapter 1 now I'm back to work. Time for a well earned break to play some games now I think.

Feedback on progression would also be handy. I don't want to make it too fast...but I don't want it too slow either.  In theory, you shouldn't be able to reach level 5 relationship with Lyra (or any character) until nearing the end of the game - but since its still in development it would be a bit boring if no content was unlockable in its current state. 

Here's the change log: 

5/10/24 + Transferred Morrigan's code to new method

5/10/24 + Transferred Kaida to new code method

5/10/24 + Transferred Others to new code method.

5/10/24 + Transferred Calista to new code method

6/10/24 + Added a bunch of Aurelia scenes

6/10/24 + Updated the trader menu/inventory

6/10/24 + Aurelia artwork ongoing

7/10/24 + Restored sex shake effect to Lyra sex scenes

7/10/24 + Added a few small details to Lyra's quest for if she's gained 

                                weight

9/10/24 + Aurelia renders complete - need to convert to png for alpha

10/10/24         + Started revamp of Lyra's artwork to bring it more in line with 

                                Aurelia's (changed a key paramater - made Lyra

look too cartoony in comparison). Side effect of her revamp 

                                is she's less fat roll-y and more rounded as originally

intended.

11/10/24          + Wrote Aurelia sex scenes - got a bit lazy with the endings. 

                                Will tweak following next play test.

12/10/24          + Aurelia's quest complete - need to tidy it up a bit though to 

                                "game" it from the narrative.

12/10/24           + Noticed in editing in hindsight some of Lyra's new images are 

                                a bit "young" looking. Redoing the entire run for

consistency and to make sure I've not missed any.

12/10/24          + Finished adjusting Aurelia's quest

12/10/24          * Finished adjusting Aurelia's sex scenes

12/10/24          * Various scripting bugs fixed

12/10/24          + Added buttons to cycle through unlocked stages on the 

                                character pages.

12/10/24           * Various bug fixes and tweaks to Aurelia's quest

13/10/24          + Added Health Potions to the magic shop

                                enemies in combat.

13/10/24          + Can now use health potions in Lyra's quest as well.

13/10/24          * Various small bug fixes

13/10/24          * Fixed Aurelia's character screen - can cycle through 

                                unlocked stages.

13/10/24         * Fixed Lyra's character screen - can cycle through unlocked 

                                stages.

13/10/24         * Tweaked Lyra's quest - if you get into the combat encounter 

                                base damage is now multiplied by your level as with Aurelia.

13/10/24         * Aurelia's weight is now persistent when reloading a save

13/10/24         - Removed music change when giving Aurelia a gift - was a bit 

                                too jarring to keep changing between her theme and the

music for the Wandering Wyvern.

14/10/24         * Fixed relationships being saved - should persist across 

                                sessions and reset on a new game.

14/10/24        - Removed Aurelia's theme from her chat scenes - didn't gel 

                                with the tavern atmosphere as with gifts.

14/10/24        * Chatting with Aurelia now passes time.

14/10/24        * Fixed an oversight that only let you have sex with Aurelia at 

                                relationship stage 2.

14/10/24        + Added a scroll bar to the invetory screen

14/10/24        * Modified Lyra's code so that her weight is persistent across a 

                                game state - will reset on starting a new game.

14/10/24       + Added backgrounds to Lyra and Aurelia's character pages.

14/10/24       * Did a new theme for Morrigan

16/10/24       * Finished sprites for Aurelia Act 1 (though all above S3 not 

                                used in act 1) - 392 images

16/10/24       * Redesigned Lyra - her clothing is a bit more variable but 

                                generally more happy with her overall look.

19/10/24       * Finished Lyra's redesign

19/10/24       * Fixed a bug with Lyra's character page weight stage browser 

                                - now working as intended.

20/10/24      *  Modified the financial reward for beating Lyra's quest combat 

                                encounter

20/10/24      *         Modified starting money granted at the end of the prologue. 

                                This may go down again when the game advances to later 

                                 acts and I rebalance everything to account for multi-stage 

                                 quests etc. in which to grow relationships (and waistlines).

20/10/24      *  Fixed a formatting issue on the quest menu

20/10/24      *  Fixed a bug in the quest menu for Aurelia's quest that wasn't 

                                properly evaluating if you had the good or bad ending.

20/10/24       * ACT ONE CHAPTER TWO RELEASED
