a phone found in tall grass - v2.5

Ahaha, I know I said in my last post, that I was doing one big update for the Queer Games Bundle and then hopefully puting this project to rest but…I had a couple more touches I wanted to add! HOPEFULLY, this will truely be it. I know it’s really easy to fall into a headspace of “my game is never finished, I have to keep adding to it!” which I can definitely seeing myself slipping towards

Major additions

- Redesigned the title screen to better suit the new aesthetics I introduced last update. Basically, I wanted to redesign the entire itchio page for the Queer Games Bundle and I was really happy with how this came out in my last update, but it also made the ingame title screen (which was already a rush job) even worse

- The .exe build now has an Ico icon, instead of using GameMaker’s defaults! Also other build information has been updated

- Changed Lia’s phone background! This was a hard choice, haha. Lia’s background was originally a stock image of a ginger cat that I used early on in development as a placeholder, but then it just kinda stuck. I’ve always been torn on changing it because on one hand, it doesn’t really tell us anything about Lia, she never mentions cats in the story…and on the other hand, it’s just kinda cute and nice and makes the text easy to read. Ultimately, I wanted to go with something aesthetic-y that fit the redesigns I had been doing outside the game

- Fixed a bug where the game would randomly crashed if you tabbed out during the intro sequence

Minor additions 

 - Scrolling up and down with the mouse wheel is now faster

- Changed one of the Ending tweets I wasn’t a fan of

- Fixed even more dates being wrong

- Added an image to a few Decagon tweebs that didn’t have one

- Added a couple of extra minor tweets

- Added one new Luna tweeb to better show that she has money/privilege

- Added some physical touches to the opening scene
