Edit 06/03/2023 : Mac users, I resolved the compatibility issue with macOS. So Love Odyssey v0.0.1b is now available to you too!

As promised, you can finally enjoy the first update of Love Odyssey! 

Here are the new features I've prepared for you over the last two weeks: 

Story & Gameplay: 

• If you're French-speaking, you'll be able to enjoy the translation I made for you. 
• If you are Spanish-speaking, you will be able to enjoy the translation I made for you with the help of a friend. Please note that Spanish is NOT our mother tongue. So, if you speak Spanish and some of the lines sound strange, your suggestions are welcome. 
• I've added two language choices: when you start a new game, and in the "Options" menu. 
• I've fluidified the dialogues. 
• I've added minor choices during Scene 2 to deepen your immersion. 

Graphics: 

• You'll enjoy a better artistic coherence as I've redone Scene 1 entirely in 3D. I also drew the costumes in 2D with the help of my girlfriend. 
• I also reworked Scene 2 entirely to make it more consistent with the universe. The lighting is more "morning" and "intimate" now. I removed the electric lights from the set. 
• In Scene 2, I remade Patrick in 3D. I also drew his costume in 2D with the help of my girlfriend. We also made the wall and the doors when he appears. 
• The camera focuses better on the subject in the last shots. 
• I color graded the whole thing to give you a more cinematic experience. 
• I completely redid the exterior shots of the castle. Warning: it's still PLACEHOLDER / CONCEPT ART / WIP! 
• I've made the sex animation slightly more dynamic. 
• Font: I changed it, centred it and outlined it with the colour of the talking character. I also changed the colour of the costume (and therefore the text) of the king and the admiral. 
• I centred the title screens ("PROLOGUE", and "Thank you for playing"). I also faded them in and out. 
• I added a background in the main menu. 

Soundtrack: 

• I linked an interactive audio engine to Ren'Py with the help of my brother, a bit of code I got online, and a lot of rewriting to work out compatibility issues, code the features I needed, etc. However, the engine doesn't work on Mac and Android yet. I will need some time to resolve this compatibility issue. So, Mac & Android users, please wait until the next update coming in a couple of weeks! 
• I added sex sounds during the doggystyle sequence. Thanks to the engine I talked about, I've randomized them to make the sequence sound more realistic. 
• I added a sound when you press "Start", and a sound when Patrick knocks on the door. 
• You'll be immersed with a storm ambiance in the first scene, and birds in the second scene. 
• I made some music: the theme for the main menu, a tense music that slowly builds up during scene 1 as you proceed through the dialogue, a jingle to introduce scene 2, and a theme to conclude scene 2. Warning: as for the graphics, this is work-in-progress! I intend to improve the soundtrack by the next update. 

I've exceeded my goals for this first update, and I hope you'll enjoy it! 

I strongly advise you to start a NEW GAME if you stopped along the way, as the game is very different now. If you continue with an old game, you'll miss out on the new features and you will run the risk of bugs. This is due to the fact that the game is still in VERY EARLY DEVELOPMENT (it's only the first update). 

My goals for the update I will offer you in a couple of weeks are: 

• Fix any bugs you may have reported to me. 
• Resolve the compatibility issue between the audio engine and Mac and Android. 
• Finalize the graphics, script and soundtrack for these two scenes. 

Stay tuned!
