THE INN CH2 1.02.01 - DEVLOG 1!

Hey everyone!

I’m doing fine and hope you’re all doing well too!

So, as you may have noticed, the last update (1.01.05) wrapped up the Back to the Countryside part of the story. I know it ended in a weird way—but trust me, it had to be like that.

Right now, I’m working on the next “episode” (if you can call it that), which is 1.02. This update will feature the return of the trio—Joana, Luana, and Val—plus Livya (the cop lady).

I haven’t done much on the technical side of the game yet. Most of my time has been spent working on dialogue and scene crafting for this update so far.

I’ve also been going through a bit of a creative block lately and struggling to get things done. It’s taking a lot of work to make the dialogue feel legit and the scenes look good—but I’m getting there!

What’s planned for this update:

My goal for this update is to move the story up to the point where the mansion renovation is finally complete. There’s not much to tell during the renovation itself, so there will be a short time skip—and maybe even a “Cool Training Montage” or something like that (still undecided).

Important: Save Rollback Required

Oh yeah—almost forgot! One thing that took me a fair bit of work time for this update was figuring out a way to make the transition from 1.01.05 to 1.02.01 feel smooth and seamless. Unfortunately, after trying several options, there was no way to do that without rolling saves back a bit.

So… If you played 1.01.05 all the way through and reached the WIP (Work-in-Progress) screen, you’ll need to roll back a few saves. Preferably, load a save from before you enter Linda’s bedroom. Everything should be smooth sailing from that point on.

I know this isn’t ideal (it doesn’t sit well with me either), but… it is what it is.

Notification Pop-up Improvements

Another thing I worked on for this update is the Notification Pop-ups. I’ve consolidated all notifications for each character into a single notification frame. This should help reduce notification flooding (especially during sex scenes).

They look like this now:

Anyway, I guess that’s it for this devlog. There’s really not much more to talk about for now.
